I can't sleep either.

You ever price it out for ups?x3
couldn't get to sleep until about 12:30 am. Up at 4:30, till about 5:30 I reckon. Soy muy cansado.
I think part of the reason is that I've had this really weird thing for the past week or so where I'm keenly, viscerally aware of how my tongue is resting on my teeth. I'm totally fixated on it, and can't think of anything else. it's fucking weird and annoying.
I'm also trying to figure out how to get my bike to Ecuador in November. It's a three-flight trip, so luggage will change planes twice: once in Washington, once in Panama. The way I see it, I have three options:
1. I can use my EVOC bike case. Pros: simple, secure, bike arrives (or doesn't) all in one piece. Cons: will be expensive, as the trip is on two separate airlines, so I'd be paying the bike fee twice per direction. This could add up to $400 per direction. I will need to check. Also, the travel agent told me the flight from Ottawa to DC is on a small plane that couldn't fit a bike. Not sure I trust his opinion. Still, this option will be ridiculously expensive. Could be cheaper to rent on site. If good bikes are available there.
2. I can use a hockey goalie bag with wheels. A buddy does this. You can dissassemble the bike (wheels, fork, separate front and rear triangles) and stack them all up in one of these. Pros: bike is all together in one bag. Cons: still oversized luggage, though smaller than the bike case. Bike is not as well protected.
3. I can dissassemble my bike and fit it into a large suitcase, but won't be able to fit the wheels. I'd have to buy a wheel bag and check them separately. Pros: cheaper, and will avoid oversize and overweight charges. Cons: bike is separated, which doubles the chances of part of it going missing.
Any thoughts from the peanut gallery?
That would be a bigly price I'm sure.You ever price it out for ups?
Well at least your T% is great than 100 otherwise this place would be a shit show.
setting up a lizurd repelling turret system around your bikes?
I don't know how a lot of people do it. I live in Orange County, but thankfully my commute is pretty short and the opposite way of traffic. It's a little worse in the afternoon, but still home in 30 minutes with picking up my kid.
Probably still cheaper and safer than checking it and changing flights three timesThat would be a bigly price I'm sure.
This is part of why it is so hard to find a job (in my case) around the Seattle area! It’s 7 miles to Bellevue, but takes over an hour each way. Downtown Seattle? Fugetaboutit
RapidRide? Light rail? When I was in West Seattle commuting to UW and Harborview the only thing that kept me sane was the West Seattle Water Taxi.This is part of why it is so hard to find a job (in my case) around the Seattle area!

Speaking of commutes, a company I used to work for is buying a building in Seattle. I texted the old boss and he said, “Want a job?!” Subbing has been fun but is lacking substance. I may just return to the twice daily battle of the commuters!
more likely rider error. back end slid out at the bottom of the rock face, most likely due to panic brakingIma guess: 29er with shitty "XC" tread.
I live pretty close to Maple Valley, so to get to Seattle or Bellevue it takes several transfers. Buffalo calculated the ride to Bellevue at about 3 hours!!!! With no inclination towards stretching the light rail along 405 we are royally fuuuuuucked, like pregnant with twins the day after the royal wedding fuuuuuuuucked.RapidRide? Light rail?

I've grown quite good at panic breaking!!! Yes, that looks about right!!!more likely rider error. back end slid out at the bottom of the rock face, most likely due to panic braking
That blows. Seattle is 40 years behind the times with its mass-transit architecture compared to Portland. (Denver's no peach, either, but I live close enough that I can bike commute along a greenway, sans cars. Or drive my car like a regular schmoe.)I live pretty close to Maple Valley, so to get to Seattle or Bellevue it takes several transfers. Buffalo calculated the ride to Bellevue at about 3 hours!!!!

I didn't drive the Subaru for a few weeks last winter, it generated a warning text about maintaining satellite service disconnecting but, by the time I read it, it was too late - the car was completely dead and required a jump. The day after I jumped it the dealer called and said they needed to review codes the car sent on start up. They replaced the battery and told me to drive it more...Hello all. I hope the Volvo starts up after its month off from service!
Our garbage has now been picked up.Hey, today is garbage day!
It started right up. I did drive it once in the middle of the month out of service, 1 mile to the local carwash and 1 mile back, just to keep it somewhat charged. The remote access service did go into sleep mode due to the inactivity, so I couldn't check on the garage's temperature and the like real-time.I didn't drive the Subaru for a few weeks last winter, it generated a warning text about maintaining satellite service disconnecting but, by the time I read it, it was too late - the car was completely dead and required a jump.
