:wave: plain insomnia here


How did everything go, homie?
Pretty okay I guess. At least one piece of the old filter remains stuck in the vein, so it was definitely failing. "Contained rupture" of the vein so they wanted to keep me over night for observation since "uncontained rupture" would mean bleeding out in minutes. But the rest of it got lasered out and removed so it's not a danger anymore, which is nice.

I'd kill a man for a half decent espresso.

Taking Madelyn with me to make some sales calls. Well see how this goes.

Have a mild erection for a cargo bike at the moment. I live close enough to town there is no reason I shouldn't be pedaling for groceries and other errands.

Hmmm, fat bike or regular bike tonight? I think I'll bring both... I doubt there is much snow left in the forest. We're on day whatever of 6-9c temps and rain.

Back to mud season.. :brows:

It's Wednesday already? Damn. I got about 1/3 of the garage gone through. Made one dump run yesterday, will do one more today and Goodwill. The ultimate goal is to move my workbench and shelves to the east side so I can put the bikes up on the west side. The only reason I am doing this is because of the wire routing the electrician did when they installed the AC.

Yes, he put a hold down on the bike mount. The EX had put that 2x4 up not mounted to studs. I moved it so it was stud mounted in the event they pulled out as they did when the RM7 was up there. I would rather them not with a large power wire running over it.

finaly got the C-PAP headgear adjusted for comfort and slept like a brick for 8 hours, should have done this sooner. I actually don't feel groggy when i wake up. easy work schedule today 9-2 which is good because I have a bunch of sourdough to make for friends that are asking for some loaves.

off to brew some espresso in proxy for Psqueeb

Heading to the local nursery today as they are going out of business at the end of January. Crying shame too, that place is absolute magic for any and all holidays, like it's straight out of a movie.

Then I'll probably just putter around. Lots of things I could/should be doing but it's my vacation dammit!

Ya, maybe I’ll just have to do that. @Toshi what do you have?
I have a RadWagon 4.

swapped out some parts for comfort and function: Soma Dream bar, Kalloy stem, Ergon swept bar grips, lever throttle (useful for uphill intersections, and stock twist one too bulky), Deore levers, 180 mm internally routed OneUp dropper (in turn useful when a kid is ahead of me on the Mac Ride), real saddle from the parts drawer. Went to 50t on the front chainring, too.

I like having it around. That Denver kicked $900 towards it helped push me over for sure and at that net price a cadence sensing drivetrain is quite tolerable.

Is it the cargo bike that has the silly sized fat wheels or is that your commuter moped?

The latter. Commuter bike has stupid 26 x 4”. Cargo bike has goofy 22 x 3”, which actually makes sense as the cargo platform is thus that much lower for stability.

Rotor 3d30, shorter so they match my TT bike and I don't have to change the setting on my head unit. Wolftooth 44t ring...matches the easton setup but shouldn't wear out annually. I wanted something 30mm as that's my BB and it seems stupid to go smaller if you have the capability.

HR fucked up and didn't log one of my PDOs so I need to take it or I lose it. I'm not surprised, I get so many now. When covid happened my company was losing people like crazy so they cranked up the time off and return policies. I've been here forever so I am maxed out. I calculated that I could take every friday off for 8+ months of the year.

Definitely riding the trail bike. Attempted to switch dropper over to the new bike and quickly realized the seat posts are different sizes......DERP. A shim is now on order.

Question: If you send out a group email and in that email are instructions to click on a link to unsubscribe, what percentage of folks will either not read or not understand the email and instead reply all asking to unsubscribe?

Answer: too fucking many. Are you even serious with this shit? Reply Fucking All? As if I was also involved in sending you said email.

I can understand folks replying to sender asking, but reply all? Fuck me. :disgust1:
