Had my hopes set on wrangling a road trip to someplace far away yesterday so that I could avoid hangar duty day, today. But alas, here we are.
I removed the rear wheel from the Tracer yesterday to clean things and replace tire sealant. I got into a tremendous battle trying to replace it. It turned out that the e*thirteen cassette managed to move outwards on the splines, not quite sure how that happened.
Fucking drivers are out to kill me. Just had an asshole back out of a driveway in front of me. I stopped just short of t boning their car.
I need to tighten the rear hub on my townie bike. Pretty sure I have teh cone wrenches to do it, just need to remember to do it before I go and ride it to the brewery. Trail bike also needs a pretty massive service, probably gonna hire that one out.
In other news, I think we have nearly all the boxes of stuff that go in the house actually in the house and unpacked and put away. Next thing to do will be to get the garage into some semblance of order, the state it's in is one of (though not the only) reason for hiring out trail bike maintenance. But yeah no yeah, once the garage is somewhat organized I'll be able to work on bikes, tune skis, and start revamping the '75 Schwinn Speedster I found on the side of the road.
Except I won't, because what I really oughtta focus on is getting the historic shed converted into an office space for me. Which reminds me, I oughtta call that electrician today and see if I can get them booked to run power out there. That would be step one. Step two would be finding some windows and a new door.
FKNA.

Job interviews at 7AM == kill list. A friend is trying to rope me in joining her team but I did not feel it today.
Ooh, but it sounds like your current job=kill list. Can you tough it through so you can be "party hats" on the other side? I had to google that one.

I think this carvana deal is going to unwind itself. Between my self-doubt on buying big engine RWD car in new england and them being absolute jackshafts, I will likely end up buying locally. Admittedly, I placed my order before a three day weekend, but I sent in all of the documents they require. Still, the deadline for verification expired but they never asked me for anything else, so I'm left wondering WTF. I don't really want to deal with a dealership in the current market, but the stress this is causing isn't worth the squeeze.

Current job is on a zombie list as we're running out of money so I need to start looking again.
God how I hate job hunting.
it's only wednesday? this is some buuuulllllllllllshittttt charles
What this guy said.
Back at work and already its a shit show. FOR EXAMPLE, someone writes an email to my boss and cc's all sorts of people about something that isn't working. WELL SON, maybe if YOUR team didn't fuck around and unplug that network cable, YOUR shit wouldn't be broke'd.
So now I have to go to a building that I normally don't go - was expecting to just work from home today.
OH WELL.
Least I have a bunch of juicy ass honeycrisp apples though!
was able to re-book the post-surgery follow-up appointment I missed last week for today. I am checking the time and date hourly so I can make sure I don't miss it again. 
so on todays docket is physio, followed by surgeon. I'm looking forward to finding out how much longer I will need this corset, and whether I can get back to work. I'm starting to get a little stir-crazy.

Job with friend is usually better than a job without a friend.
I've held several positions where good friends were coworkers, and it was one of the best parts of working there.
Also, holler if you want me to look and see if my company has anything appropriate. Chances are it would be mostly remote and the company is pretty stable.Current job is on a zombie list as we're running out of money so I need to start looking again.

And October? Glorious.
It makes a big difference. I became good friends with a few people on my last project, made a few enemies. I have nothing in common and have no interest in any non work related conversations with my current team. They spent 20 minutes yesterday at the beginning of a meeting talking about major league soccer.
Imagine if bike racers crashed on purpose when they had a lead?
Major league *what*, now?
I think it is some kind of dramatic theatrical league that plays out old Greek dramas where at the end everyone suffers tragic injuries to only recover in seconds. Clearly precursors to resurrection mythology.

I have e13 wheels on the GT, the rear hub is louder than an old Campy.
Just got word back from first mold guy. Most of growth in the unit is "organic material". Ie mildew. There is definite mold in the kitchen and around a patio door, but didn't test as black. Obviously not as bad as possible, but still not great. He did let us know that the leak is coming in from the outside, which is due to damage in the stucco. The stucco however has asbestos in it. He knows this because he's done jobs there before.
So we can celebrate that it's not as bad as it could have been, while still being kicked in the shins for the asbestos. Thankfully that is external, which means the HOA is paying for it.

@jonKranked , I finally read the résumé of my operation. The screws and rods were made by DePuy Synthes. That you?
the Encyclopedia Killtannica will have more published volumes than any other literary work in history.Does he actually ever kill someone though? His kill list is getting mighty long...
Have a missed call from Michigantown Indiana. I can't think of a less desirable sounding place in the world.
I don't know what would be more depressing, being in Indiana and going to Michigan or getting out of Michigan to end up in Indiana.
