So the first hour+ is spent on "how to request the software you need" that everyone should have done a week or more ago. But it seems not everyone knows how to RTFM. Off to a good start, I need a mobile shed and wireless headset.

no, im not.
im stuck doing afterwork rides during the week though.
Crazy day at work yesterday meant no lunch, and then no time to eat before my after work ride. Chips and a slurpee are not the best fuel, so I added a banana for real nutrition.
It was 27 deg C here yesterday, and I’m on kid duty all weekend as the Mrs works all weekend, so there was no way I wasn’t going for a ride.
Conditions were like mid-summer. Dry and dusty in a lot of spots and it made the techy climbs tricky. Enough so that I managed to crash on the way up (doy) and smack my knee on a rock in the process. Strange my knee pads didn’t help down around my ankles... (double doy).
Quite a nice goose egg on the knee this am is making for some ginger walking...
Motivation is LOW.

Last weekend was great I'm sure it still is
This is why I wear pads on rocky trails and solo backcountry epics. Too damn old for anymore holes in my knees or broken bits.
Not if he does quality control while editing porn. That's some serious multi-tasking skill.
after smashing my knee between my handlebar, top tube, and the ground last year i swore i'd get knee pads for trail riding. still hasn't happened.
hey once upon a time we had talked swapping beers for some green salsa. that still a thing?
Today's training has been cut short after I showed them what I had built this week. They (the automation team) has been talking about a standard, but haven't come up with it yet. So I built a framework based on a logical naming convention that they are now reviewing and will likely become the new standard. 
<edit> I can't wait for them to train me on the new coding standard they came up with next week.

Just spent lunch long boarding around the office park. I actually prolly smell like of you assume I do rn 
I always wear them for the descent. To help keep cool, I often wear them around my ankles on the way up. They're remarkably less effective when not on the knees.
Wore the 661 Kyle Straights until they wouldn't stay up anymore. Replaced them with 7iDP Flex with a handy plastic cup. There is wee bit of chafing until they're broken in, but I'll take it over the aftermath of knee punching rocks.

Apparently its last weekend for skiing at the big resort here.
Hot damn. And they are supposed to open for DH in a month. Yeah, right... @mykel
That does not look promising.
Looks like I need to find a couple of pieces of wood. Ski-bike anyone?
says the guy too lazy to come out for beers when I was actually in colorado.Chile. Green *CHILE*...
Fucking Northeastern knobs.
A number of hours of trail work, mostly clearing blowdowns, has been completed while being rained on.
Some. Forgot some.Did you hit your head while you were doing it?
Also hit the pen shed too
This is the longest hour in the history of time. Code review scheduled for Monday and training moved to Wednesday. 
He had kid soccer games or some shit like that
