Why so early Mr. Daylight?

Only when smashing into curbs
Ok, I am interested in hearing some monkey opinions on this, god help me: My coworker's mother passed away at the calling hour/funeral is Saturday. I am not sure if I should stop by and pay my respects. The coworker is the guy I am replacing, whom I've met once but speak to him frequently via phone and Zoom. We've actually developed a pretty close working relationship in the 10 months I've worked here. I am not sure what the attend/no attend etiquette is in this weird situation, not to mention Covid and all of the restrictions people should be following. I don't mind going, but I don't know if I should be going. I don't know who else from work may or may not attend.
I say go.
You being there may help this guy get through what I'd think is an awful, awful day. He'll appreciate the show of support.
Never mind if any else from work is or is not going.

Also, 'nuts of sashimi'? Why do I feel like I've missed something yuge here?
yes, I believe I compressed the sticky to the frame with the 3M cover attached, then removed the cover and pressed it against the frame. They are made of metal so they bend easy. Once bent it's difficult to attach the C-clip, but it's doable.
Will attending actually make him feel better, or is it more about making yourself feel like you're doing the right thing?
Some people prefer work/life separation. I'd reach out the guy and your offer condolences as well as any help you can give on the work side of things. Then be honest about the fact that you're not sure whether to attend, see what he says, and go from there.
Having been through it I can tell you that I wouldn't have wanted anyone but closest friends and family members around on the day (and TBH, not even some of those).
when I was starting my career, I skipped a co-worker's daughters' funeral. I was not close with the co-worker (we barely ever talked) but I knew how hard such a thing would be to go through. I wanted to support him, but didn't want to be just another person crowding the back hallway so I stayed away. I regret it to this day- even if I saw him for 3 seconds, it would have been better to be there than not.
Honestly I like it a lot. It is VERY early and I basically pumped it with air and headed out without adjusting compression or checking for sag, just plopped it on and rode.
It's quite impressive over square hits and rides very high, which is kind of weird. It makes the front end feel tall and slack so the handling is a bit different. I can't tell you that I can feel the difference in trail # as it moves through the travel, but it does seem to resist brake dive- making cornering a very different experience. I really like the three-mode compression switch, it pairs well with the monarch+ on the rear end and makes the ride there, ride down, and ride up a little bit nicer.
oh also something something high speed crossover digressive regressive trail camber caster. Better?
So did I.
As for the funeral, yeah maybe weird but I say go. Not too long after I started at the airline, my supervisor in PDX lost his youngest daughter at just about a year old. She'd been born SUPER premature, and it was a miracle she even made it as long as she did. I didn't really know the guy outside of work, but in retrospect, I'm glad I went. Most of the guys from work went to the funeral, it made us all a closer bunch, and I know Jim really appreciated it.
What about your yaw levels?
bout 7, 8. whatever it takes
i'm one of two people that can change custom titlez here. I'll change it if you guys really want but otherwise it's gotta be BV
I am going to be a contrarian and say that a funeral of a child is a different case from a death of a parent, especially if elderly. I'd be seen at the former, but not at the latter, unless I was friends with the parent, too.
I would think it was strange for someone who wasn't close to the deceased to attend. But that comes from my weird upbringing from my weird family so the societal norm is probably the exact opposite.
raw and fishy?

It's less strange if you're close to someone who was close to the deceased. So for example if a father-in-law you never met died, it would be appropriate to be there. But you'd be there for your wife, not the deceased (assuming she wanted to go and wanted your support).
Don’t go but send flowers. My aunt passed away recently and we did not attend her funeral. Just not worth the risk.
Heading out for some moar hiking with weight. This time I am taking my ultralight camp chair for a test drive somewhere away from the mouth breathers.
has been a tough day. have my annual physical this evening. not really up to going, but forcing myself as i have already rescheduled once.
Can't remember for sure if I've had it or not, but I've definitely seen it a few times in the stores. Any good? How's it compared to Four Seam?
good on you for going...i think I'm due for an annual soon
Make sure you get your nuts checked!
I'm not here to judge anyone's kinks. You do you.
had a fun otb-to-full-scorpion-to-bike-landing-on-my-head today. thanks sneaky stob for hiding yourself with new growth! happy to walk away with just a scraped elbow
Yeah, don't do that.
