Morning. I hope I finally fixed clogged drains in wife's VW, got tired of scraping ice off windshield inside the car. Low expectations for today with the exception of some good beers tonight.
Morning monkies! Yesterday's ride was winning, a little muddy but for November 1st it's pretty cool not to be riding in total slop. Will repeat tomorrow.
source? seems highly implausible. or maybe they're using Trumpian accounting techniques? either way, you'd think the bus would be the safe transportation method here. There was a story in the news here a few days ago about an accident between a sedan and a school bus on a rural road. driver of sedan did not survive, but no one was injured on the bus....
in local news, it's 46° out now, heading to a high of 59°. This is November? It's ride night, so I'll take it.
Mornin!
Very satisfying ride last night. Gave it a bit more effort that usual on the downs in the name of pretending I'm fast. Good way to cap off a most frustrating day of work.

Yeppppppp, the roller toaster said it was 14 degrees already on the way into work.
Ride night it certainly is. Bike is still in pieces....
Crappy night, woke up twice to major painfull back spasms. Finally dug out a thermacare heat wrap for my back and that seems to have soothed the angry beast. Its been on there since 2 this morning and still pumping out the heat.
I hope that the spasms don't hit again. I really don't want to scare the crap out of the challenged adults on the bus by screaming like I am being stabbed in the back like I did on my drive home last night.

I see instead of the traditional "Movember" thing that usually goes around with the mustaches and all, Ridemonkey will be participating in the "No Fuckin' Wingdings November." I can't say I'm really on board with this.
You can do better than this, steve w.

Morning, sitting in the truck in the middle of absolute no where looking up at the stars waiting for a little light before I start hiking in. Already seeing deer near by, hopefully elk will be close too. I would start hiking now but bears are much bigger than I am and I am in grizzly country. Wish me luck
were you at least able to procure beers to assist in the re-assembling of the bike?Bike is still in pieces....
i know.....looking for story....
i drive my kids into school in the AM; they ride the bus home (when they're not busy being suspended from it-i'm lookin at you, 6yo!). i have no worries for their safety. i have no doubt about those numbers. the school system is huge and there are a lot of idiot drivers here...
now, back to my regularly scheduled coffee

No. I took @dan-o's advice and hit the shed. Then I somehow ended up in bed at 9:30. Weird how that works.
It has been brought! I'm going to have to change today's ride plan to do the long WR loop myself given this new information.
That's not really pretending. Nice work chief.
No job in Denmark yet. I did have a good trip there last week and met with tons of people. Found the perfect house I would have loved to buy but its sold already. I am so fed up with apartment living. All of this is taking up a lot of time and mental energy so I have not been doing much riding besides to and from work.
I feel like shit. Heads all clogged up, sore throat, etc. Run scratched, dogs not yet walked. I'd had a goal of running a half marathon on thanksgiving morning, pretty sure that's not happening and I'm pretty disappointed. Guess I'll push it to christmas? I somehow need to find the will to drag myself out of the house and run to denver this morning as well. Or I may just take a nap.

Morning Monkeys.
Riding the bus almost all month, should be interesting. I got hassled for leaving the office before 4 even though I show up before 7. How does one get on the 9:30-4:30 schedule? Seems a lot of folks in the office work that schedule.

no wing dings on the GMT = kill list
left work early yesterday b/c feeling crappy. napped for ~2 hours. was awoken by wife / kid when they got home. tended to them, was in bed by 9. slept the better part of 9 hours and feeling mostly back to normal.
It's kinda crazy to think that after 6 years, my ex STILL estalks me on facebook (and likely RM). Been divorced 6 years, still seems to care enough to look.
I guess it is only kinda crazy if you don't know my ex.

I was over in the absoroke range this morning. And yes I ended up spotting a good size cinnamon phased grizzly in the distance.http://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/local/2016/11/01/bears-counted-grizzly-bear-gathering-front/93125696

As for great Falls I would still be more worried about meth heads
I reclaimed my DH honor from @Adventurous today. How are Full Trucker and mtg so fast, though? Aliens.
Pulled stairs to beach at camp, an exercise involving a winch, chain, levers, and some swearing.
Covered roof vents, almost broke my fucking leg when ladder involved decided to shift...
Took trash and recycling to disposal site.
Realized I was sweating my balls off, got into biker boi shorts and whatnot, rode and visited the bongshed with @Bunnista, now on nth beer while waiting for coals to be ready to cook filet mignon in the hibachi.
Life's at least OK.

Furry one appears to have an eye infection of sorts. Looks like a vet trip tomorrow.
Go Cubs.
Today I did not ride but I did buy beer.
View media item 3065Tomorrow I will ride and beer. Also work but we won't cover that in detail.

Are you planning WR at the weekend still?
I'm thinking Mountain Lion to avoid hiker-crowds Saturday morning.
Got the bicycle back together just in time for tonights ride. Our group was 3 strong today, great turn out. Actually, make that 4.; one of us locked our keys in the car...so mid ride we called another buddy, who grabbed the spare set from his house and then came out for beer and wings.
Pretty easy going ride tonight. Same guy who locked his keys in his car also got his balls snipped a week and a half ago and this was his first ride back.
I need to get rid of this craptacular shock on the bike.
