slept right through my alarm. Slamming down an espresso and hitting the road. gonna be over 100F today
Awake too early. Still getting the body clock back to normal after being 7 hours ahead for 10 days.
slept well. got up. worked out. hanging with the 5yo until his second covid shot then off to work. dope.
Feeling about 90% recovered from the Sunday night vomitfest. It hurts to take a deep breath. ANYWAY, I am in the office this morning but will be leaving early to take the young doggo to the vet. She seems to be having an issue with one of her back paws. I see a cone in her future.
Slept alright. Fell asleep reading the kiddo stories at 8. She has finally given up her nap so bed time is a little easier.
Raining here. We finished planting soybeans last night, so all it needs to do is grow.

Finally ordered some road tires. Let's see if it actually works out.
what had been just general soreness has progressed into actual pain. started in my right knee yesterday, this morning has progressed up to my right hip. can put weight on my right leg, but not quickly. there wasn't a single event that would have triggered the injury, so leading suspect is just overuse. haven't been getting much saddle time on the mtb due to weather (but a decent amount of road biking), so that kind of jives. advil and knee brace today, cyclobenzaprine for bed tonight.
what did you go with?
I ended up with Conti GP5k 28mm with latex tubes. Bike closet.com had some wicked deals, and for whatever reason they didn't charge me tax. I wanted some weird gucci italian open tubular style high-tpi tires, but honestly the rolling resistance and durability on the contis are the best on the market. The specs on height and width work well too, rather than trying to finagle some weirdness.
Sorry, super long story but I've been wracking my brain around it for too long.
Also, I'm going to have my 1.25" hitch installed. Would love to go 2" but my welder friend said he'd have to re-engineer the brace to lower the receiver, and if he installs it in place I'd have to cut the bumper and I'm just not confident that's the best choice. I'll hopefully get it installed next week then see if the 2" receiver will fit or just order the 1.25 lower.
I figure there has to be a reason that there are 2000 reviews on the contis with 4.5 stars, vs. 9 reviews on the Veloflex or Challenge tires....
Tubeless will have to wait for now.

Woah woah woah hold up. Let me see if I understand this correctly. You've come back...
...from the future?
Baby proficiently army crawls now and has a mind for trouble. Busy wrangling her all day.
House is coming along nicely. Guys pulled off all the fascia boards and soffits. Will all be getting replaced and repaired today with PVC. Then it'll be calling in the gutter guys to hang something so I don't continue to get water drips along the sill.
slogging through work. getting crushed by trying to pull together all the elements of a 350p book with 200 images in a very short window of time. in addition to whatever else i'm supposed to be doing. LE UGH.
but tonight childhood buddy flies in; tomorrow we ride local; and friday up to snowshoe for the weekend. so i've got that going for me...

Hoping I don't get sidetracked every half-hour so I can focus on getting a project reviewed today. Going to my youngest daughter's gymnastics class tonight, should be fun.
ETA: I just realized that my flat-earth, Trump nut-swinging office mate is working from home today!

After my "medical procedure" yesterday, I was give the green light to eat whatever I wanted. So I had a giant homemade brownie with ice cream, followed by 3 waffles, then a plate of Tuscan chicken, then a bit later Thai dumplings, spring rolls, tom yum soup, and pad Thai.
I think I might have leftover pad Thai with fried eggs this morning...

Correct. A dreamliner brought me back.
But it seems if you spend ten days at sea level, eat lots of cake and then travel back seven hours and up to 7500ft, sleep badly for three days - somehow that makes exercise harder work than I'd like...
as I do every morning, I made a coffee and read the news today. I'm still having trouble processing what happened in TX.
Working in climate change, having just been through another catastrophic weather event, and hearing "now's not the time to talk about the causes and what we can do to address it", and knowing the same will be said about guns in the US, just makes me feel that as a species, we are driving towards a cliff and instead of slowing down we're mashing on the accelerator. WTF is going on with us?!?!

Missed my afternoon espresso yesterday, so I fell asleep for a bit after dinner. Fast forward to midnight, when I couldn't figure out why I was still wide awake. Bonus points for walking into the bedroom after midnight and realizing I hadn't put the sheets back on my bed after doing laundry yesterday, so I had to put on my maid outfit and get to work.
This morning I saw the inevitable "divorce/video games/<whatever>" causes these things and the only solution is Jesus.

Watching our executives delivering pre-recorded key notes in our annual (virtual) tech conference is painful.
Which end are you suggesting he use to break up the clog?
I mean we're not all drifting towards doom, but we all seem to be tied to the same ship that is going down.
And yeah that dumpster fire thats happening to the south. Jeebus. Canada isn't no where near perfect, but damn. The news and whatnot just can't be read anymore.
Getting in there with a fist might be more efficient.
Or perhaps he has a poop knife?
Up until 5:45am putting out a couple small fires. Seriously need to stop staying up so damn late. Grumble, grumble...

As predicted, no knock or anything from the Fed Ex guy. Bike rack and accompanying boxes just tossed onto the porch at the front door...
Butttttt in good news, from what I can tell, I didn't get charged any stupid customs processing fees OR tax. Score.
