&*^&^$$%^ What up bros (Thirsty thursday megathread) *&^*&^*&^
- Thread starter Sandwich
- Start date
Was going to head to the mountains for one last camping trip in the high country this weekend. Forecast now has rain/snow on Saturday morning...
Ded. Was up til 3 am with the baby. Methinks the wife has some postpartum depression. Trying to keep it all together.
Had to work on my truck last night. Think I flipped the rod ends, cause they look the same, but have a slightly different taper. Why, Ram, why?
Mushed my fingertip yesterday and it split open. That felt great.
Might have to wear pants today. Mid 60s with winds above 20mph....nah still shorts weather.
Espresso, eats, then off to work in the Delta area I go

Keep repeating- it gets better. Might take a couple of years, but it does. I love my kids. I hated my babies.

Working from home the next two days, so it kind of feels like a five day weekend has already begun. Gotta go poop the dogs now.....
A baby is basically a job. I don't know why people want so many jobs.
Here. Waiting for coffee at DIA. We were warned that the wait was exceedingly long, so got here a few hours early, but passed through in less than 30min. Either taking a 1.5hr nap or studying shortly.
I keep reminding Wifey that she needs to be ready for a shit show at MIL1's condo when we get there this afternoon to meet with the contractor. She keeps saying that she's been there within the last 5 years and is ready for it, but I'm not optimistic about it.
Also completely unplugged my connection to work, as one should. Phone and laptop off, out of office message and voicemail in place. Getting home should be interesting, but dammit, I'm taking my time off.

Oh, we're going by the storage unit too. The double storage unit. That's supposedly full. And I have to find two headrests for her car that I'm selling tomorrow.
wfh today & tomorrow. lunch ride today. going to attempt mtb of some sort this weekend. the day i wanted to ride DH has the highest chance of rain.
So, I feel like a 1000 pound weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I decided to resign my sales job, it has just turned impossible with the device I sell not being approved for insurance coverage. just not worth it, and it was causing me huge stress and rejection.
I kinda feel free.
Hope you all have a banger day, too!

Hello monkeys.
Fresh tires for the GT yesterday and I decided to ride above my skill / fitness level by including a new segment. Much stalling, some diving but no crashing. It's a new trail designed to be difficult technically and physically. Local experts ride the segment in 10 to 12 minutes. It took me 20+; lack of skill and sub optimum power / weight ratio are possible factors.
I have not peddled Rekons before so I began the ride at the suggested minimum psi of 35 for the 2.4s, I lowered the front twice and the rear once. Ended up at 19 / 24 possibly too low up front but I wasn't going anywhere fast anyway.
I may not ride today, it's 49 degrees and might rain, plus tired.

I hope I didn't steer you wrong with the ground controls... it sounds like they aren't your tire
Edit. Not Barr, but equally stupid.

Pikes Peak Plummet Mountain Bike Trail, Cascade-Chipita Park, Colorado
An epic ride from high on Pikes Peak to the Ridgeway Trailhead in North Cheyenne Canyon. Near Cascade-Chipita Park, Colorado.

Barr would infact, be stupid. Unless it's changed significantly since the last time I hiked it, it was the stupid kind of stupid, not the fun kind of stupid. I don't personally know anyone who has done the full plunge, but I've read good things. I will certainly vouch for the Awesomeness™ of the lower half.

The Rekons are for the GT Sensor - the Ground Controls are for the hardtail and I am pretty sure I have them sorted. Thinking about doing my pavement, gravel, dirt loop in them later today. That's about 22 miles... so I will see how I feel in a couple of hours. I feel like they would pedal fast at 25PSI and still do a decent XC loop.I hope I didn't steer you wrong with the ground controls... it sounds like they aren't your tire
I think that this Fisher cat deposit on walkway between our house and garage explains what happened to the cat.
i'm not going to examine poop pixels. what's the giveaway?
A piece about the American chap who smashed hard at the Olympics. I didn’t realise he was hurt so bad:

writing up a resignation letter. Trying to decide between being 100% diplomatic, or 100% honest. Maybe a middle ground..
be tactful if you plan on staying in this line of work.
Yes, that's the plan.
