I plan to drag a load of stuff to auction, get rid of other trash, and make sure everything's ready for propane rework tomorrow morning. After that, focus will shift to getting ready for NEMBAfest the following week.
seriously though, i was cleaning out my late FIL's house and found an unopened gallon of Seagram's 7.
I am going to the Bronx to set up a oven. Thing weighs 11K lbs. Finally got it onto the truck....
3 day week right here chiefGood god, its only Wednesday! I only realized this about 20 minutes ago.
This has to be one of the worst weeks.
What you said. Terrible week, but out of fucks so I am just going through the paces. Have 3 hours of meetings scheduled today that will be the equivalent of having duck tape slowly pulled of off a hairy scrotum.Good god, its only Wednesday! I only realized this about 20 minutes ago.

Got our race car all primer'ed last night, and was able to paint the white panels of our 2-tone paint scheme. I don't know if I posted this, but I managed to roll it a few months ago during testing / tuning and basically crumpled the hood, roof, both doors, and a couple body panels. We got us a cheap roller to use as a roof / door donor, cut off the roof, welded it on the race car, applied very little bondo, sanded the shit out of it, and last night we did final prep to start painting. We did all primer and paint ourselves using a $12 spray gun from Harbor Freight and $8 quarts of Rustoleum. I'll post pics when we get the blue paint done as well.

All primer'ed!

I can't complain about this week. Back on the bike and weather is nice. Was up 5.30am to get some riding in and did 27 miles in 1.15:35 which I was pretty happy about. I also managed to crush a tri dude which made everything sweeter.
A work month from hell goes on. Day 10 of being formally laid off, yet still waiting for the big boss and a few bidders to get their shit together and decide whether someone wants the remaining pieces of our company for pee'n'utz, or if I am checking in the unemployment benefits line next week.
The S.O.C. has resumed?
I accompanied the wife-bot to drop off the elder child at her (new to her as of this week) Montessori preschool. Said child was clingy--she's starting to realize this school change is for real. Then said wife dropped me + bike on rack off at work. Today I plan to have other radiologists categorize randomly generated lung nodules by hand vs. using a computer program, plus I give a lecture to the residents at noon.
Wednesday, ugh. I'm on board with the "this week sucks balls" crew.
FT: nice work, but OSHA would like to speak with your painter.

Some of the questions being asked in this audit are so general, its almost entrapment. Here, lets ask the most ambiguous question, just to see what you respond with. One wrong word and a can of whoop ass is opened.
I just made that mistake by using the word "share" instead of "transmit". Someone give me some ebolaids so I can go home sick.

Oh man... Chins up fellas! Sorry it's a shitty week for some of you, and super jelly of a 27 mile early morning bike ride! I have been waking up with the sun for a month or so now, but I don't want to get up so I lay there and enjoy the quiet. One of these days I will have to do something useful with that extra time!
Also, good Lord I need a break from the constant imbibing! I think my brain is melting! I'm too old for this!

Sick at Scout Camp. A less than ideal situation...
I was up at 5.30am and on the bike by 6am. Only thing is it makes me a little tired at work and very hungry. You just gotta do it.
WTF happened to your knee?
Tried to run this morning. Not sure if too many drugs still in my system, or not enough. Ran like I was dragging an anchor, totally crapped out at mile 4 climbing a big hill, and then my jaw started hurting like a MF'er. Why on earth did I let a dentist convince me to pull my wisdom teeth? Fucking sadists, the whole lot of them.
I'm fully on board with the "Eff this week" crew, and it's my Sunday.
That's rough 'squeeb! Can totally empathize on the wisdom teeth pain, I did not tolerate that well! Good job trying to get out there! And... your Sunday? My condolences.
diabeetusWhat are you all running from?
Trust me... I'm well aware of this.
i think it was an old wrestling injury that I just re-injured. It's a meniscus tear, I guess it's torn and then folded over on itself. they have to cut it out to repair it. 2-4 weeks and they I should be ready to go, and then 20 years down the line I'll have arthritis, but I'd rather have the good years with the kiddo than be hobbled forever!
have you inquired about a meniscal allograft?
my new work ride
i did not, but it's only ~30%, so i don't know that I'd be a candidate nor that it wouldn't make things worse.
In a nut shell, Especially part 6. Though teh FSM knows I'm not running any Ultras. That shits dumb.What are you all running from?
Just got back from dodging storms to sneak in a lunch ride and some errands. I don't know why everyone is Captain Complainy Pants around here, my week is fuggin' awesome. Pizza and beer tonight FTMFW Sneeches!
Hoon the ever-living shit outta that thing.my new work ride
well, tuck that tidbit of info away. you'll benefit from it someday.
Sorry to hear this bud. Get well soon!
