$$$Wet Wednesderp GMT$$$

We have sun here, which has been uncommon as of late...

Propane supplier technicians are supposed to arrive at noon to plumb up a feed to the new motor generator set.

Local bike club has its annual meeting tonight in Middlebury. I'm going, albeit such events are not usually exciting.

Mornin!

My day is like 7/8ths meetings, but hopefully that will make it fly by. Supposed to have the new frame delivered tonight and will inevitably spend a few hours oogling and bolting on whatever I can, a task made much more difficult as the seat post isn't here and I have no idea what headset it uses. #newbikeproblems

In hell. Welcome!
Last night I rode with a girl who suffered a cervical injury during an endo 7 weeks ago and who has removed her neck brace last week, #badass.
In other news, I need to straighten the DR hanger on my low ball bike. Given the number of sticks I have harvested from trails so far, I am surprised it hasn't snapped, yet.

Bladder stone verified.
1" in diameter.
Waiting for the doc's sceduling department to get back to me about the removal. Great. More folks get to fondle me, and I have to pay for it. For the price, I should be able select a porn star escort to assist with the procedure.

'Mornin. Bright cool day here, nice commute in. I rolled into a shit storm, that subsided as fast as it kicked up. I think I might be in the eye of the storm now. Parent council meeting night tonight. Parent-teacher night tomorrow night, which is also ride night. But it's supposed to rain again tomorrow, so no big loss I guess.

have a good day...

Wet ass walkies with the poncho this AM. Looking to stay wet until Saturday, yay. Had a good talk and a few good beers, but the location is just hilarious. I don't know if this is an Oregon thing, but the Chinese food joints are the place to day drink. I've only eaten at Bings once, but I have drank there a few times and the regulars are entertaining.

We have three we planted quite a few years ago, given to us as seedlings by the American Chestnut Foundation. They're dropping viable seed, which tends to germinate under the trees, so I'm moving the seedlings. The chestnut is one of the faster growing trees I have played with.
cool. after having almost all the trees removed from out backyard in august i'm toying around with what i want to plant to replace some of them.

Dues paid to the local dentist this morning. Now at Discount Tire on Colfax, always an interesting microcosm of society.

It’s time for the winter tire swap on the RAV4 EV, and I also put a deposit on another set of Nokians for the minivan, which have to ship from another store in Chicago as the distributor is flat out of them, because people have good taste, I guess. I’ll actually buy them and have them mounted Nov 24 or 25, because $100 visa gift card Black Friday deal.

Hey Doc!
Any tips on finding a doctor other than randomly choosing one from Cignas list?

Call them and ask if they’ll take a block of black tar in lieu of payment? We just ask around generally, and with luck of the draw half the time you’re probably going to be seeing a random PA anyway.

There are actually two Discount Tire shops on Colfax. I'm guessing their Aurora location?

If I wasn't in a lunch meeting and you said Lakewood, we coulda met for lunch. Alas, I am in a lunch meeting.

I might have had too much beer last night, but all was not bad. I got two buddies to tentatively sign up for some trips. The writing is (literally) on the wall!

So this happened this morning. Road fell off in front of me, went to back up and slid left off the road. Crawled out the passenger side as the snow was half way up the driver's door.

Spent the next three hours digging with my poor little GI style shovel to get clear....... Once back up on the road I started a fire to get warm and of course that when the forestry department happened by.......

Pic of the aftermath
