Thunderstorm last night. Power outage long enough to wake up the M-G set. Only a quarter inch of rain.

Dinner/beers with the wife last night. Good times we're had. Today heading north to Denver for some sort of teacher book fair thing with the wife. I don't know much about what this thing is, but the wife's teacher circle is very excited about it, plus I like books, so I'm tagging along.
Morning! Went to a comedy show with some (former) coworkers last night. Hopefully hitting the trails with the husband then off to my brother’s 40th. Lots of rain yesterday here so hopefully the trails aren’t a soggy mess.

Drank way more beer than I should have while putting the debonair spring in my “new” fork.
No puddle of oil under it this am, so I guess it went ok...
Going to spend the am with the boys at the park practicing bike riding. I’ll be bribing them with snacks and Mac-ride rides.

Possibly. Though I have discovered since my first post that my wallet and sunglasses are MIA, and I'm concerned about that. I'll call you if we stick around town.
Cant live well without sunglasses in my life.
Trying to start a lawnmower that hasn't run in four years. Obviously I will try a new spark plug and new gas, any other suggestions?

interesting. i don’t think i’ve owned a pair for 20+ years.
buncha cleaning, starting to prep for trip next week...hopefully a ride later on.
Air filter needs the cleanz?
wife is back. this morning she says to me: "do you want to go ride? this is your last chance..." I was wondering if it was a trick question, but i took a chance and said "yes. but only if there's time". she said "go". so i did.
trails are mint after a week of rain. the forest was so damn dry before, but they were perfect today. I went almost full endurpo for the first time today: I ditched the camel back and went with a water bottle - tube strapped to the cage - pump strapped to the side of the frame - mini saddle bag for tire levers, multi-tool, valve core remover. It was alright I guess, but not some big revelation. i chose to test it out on this route because there's a spot to refill water along the way. But there aren't many rides like that here, so I don't know how permanent this solution is. I guess I'll see how dedicated I am to it when I don a pack again. I also rode with my new helmet for the first time. Leatt DBX3 AM. it's comfy, and the sweat pads somehow manage to push the sweat off to the side. it was raining and despite the high humidity, there was no sweat drips into my lens. I'll call it a win.
great to be out for a ride the day before I travel with my two wild children...

Seriously mansdatory here.

Clean the carburetor
3 tires set up tubeless. New front tire for the megatrail, and 2 others on the now setup tubeless carbon xc wheels. No issues encountered.
waiting on this kind of post from eric.....
She doesn't get out much since she fell down the garage stairs and broke her hip snooping around my nephews place trying to see if he had evil drugs in the house. I don't go visit her.
I would do as you mentioned plus change/check the oil and get a can of starting fluid spray. If that shit doesn’t work burn the fucker to the ground
7-10 Canadian feet?
101 miles done on the tri bike with wife and friends. 15.8 mph, which was a very easy-for-me effort and a whole lot of fun. Stopped for a muffin at mile 40 and a peanut butter cookie at mile 60, and a delicious and overpriced microburger post-ride.
You should take her on a snipe hunt
cut out two trees and grubbed a bunch of overgrowth. no time to ride; hope to get out tomorrow. dirt looked good.
unlike others, my MIL is great. she came for the weekend and first thing she did when i walked in the door was offer me a gin and tonic.
