Yesterday was fucked. Eff airplanes.
I'm happy to report that the weather here right now is, well, perfect.
Should be a good day, as long as nothing breaks. Not much planned for this morning and then lunch and quarterly get together for the 8 or 9 IT peoples from our factories around the Toronto area.
And then.......LONG WEEKEND HELLS YEAHS.

Rode in a thunderstorm last night, felt like a tropical rain forest. Loving that HRII/Slaughter combo on wet stuff.
bagel with cream cheese and hot pepper jelly. coffee.
my office is my deck today, and possibly my hammock later on

WORKING (oops, sorry) today instead of DH at Keystone with visiting friends. 
hey, at least there are no airplanes to deal with.

Someone walks into my cubicle as I am sitting there with two folders open, papers in one hand, pencil in the other as I'm writing, obviously concentrating on something, and said person sits down and just starts asking me questions about something else. God dammit why are people so oblivious!
so you did the proper thing and ignored them until you completed what you were doing, correct.
Be honest, you don't want to write that TPS report anyways!
Today = work then ???
Tomorrow = wife's aunt in town
Sunday = morning ride then swimming/grilling
Yup... that's about it.

What is this thing you call a cubicle?
nothing but dialysis transports today. should be done after 8 hours instead of the pevious two days that ran 14 hrs with delays and meetings.
Been doing some substantial scouting in the last two weeks for the upcoming hunting season. Think we have it all planned out and ready
Trying to balance $70 million in quarterly payroll taxes across nine companies ain't easy, son.
use a spreadsheet
side effects have kicked in. feeling super nauseous.
Howdy all. I got the new Nokian on dinged but still usable rim installed on the Land Cruiser this morning. They even re-hung the spare tire under the car and rolled up and stowed away my toolkit. Approve.
I'm supposed to be doing research this morning, but feel no motivation to do so as I've been putting in evening hours writing and running shit in Matlab all week. Ball is in the court of my co-authors for now, so I'll just idly surf the web in my office and catch up on the paper journals sitting on my desk.

Went for a ride post-work and post-recruiter meeting yesterday. (figured, hey, why not meet with the guy...he asked so nicely...)
Was hot out. Ride started well, was feeling strong on the climb, sweating bullets though. Awesome new climbing trail that I've been using to switch up the old routine.
On the very next switchback I was clearly starting to lose focus as I did not see the huge, sharp root ball that had washed into the path, right about shin height. I was only going granny-gear climbing speed, but when my shin made impact, it was enough to stop me in my tracks, and knock my foot out of my pedal.
DIVINE pain. I soldiered on...
Not enough food pre-ride, not enough water though. I started to get all noodly about 3/4 down the descent and almost ate major shit about 3 times. I decided to dial things back.
Then I picked up a Spawn Cycles a buddy is lending me for a while for the eldest. He's getting to the point were he needs brakes... Might be a challenge getting him to part with his run bike, but that's why we're borrowing.
Oh, and I've been married 5 years today. koo koo krazy.

that kind of work....pass.
real southerners probably say the same thing.....
Is it go home time yet? One more hour.
Holy shit, my new Pike works better than the 2010 36! Gave my Altitude a whole new attitude. Now just to get a new rear shock to replace the CTD, and I'll be golden. And maybe a wheelset. And hey, while we are at it, a new 11speed drivetrain.
Does the madness never end in order to keep up with the Joneses?

nope. but a new 36 would have been been even moar amazeballz. b/c 36/20mm.
On deck for the weekend: Bachelor party, Kenosha to Breck on the CT, Birthday Party, Two Elk Trail, Matterhorn. I'm already tired.
lol at #5.
Shuddup fuckstick. I can't have a Pike.
Although I *can* have a 36... interesting. .. very interesting.
Yum.
Why no Pike? Cost privileges?
Srsly. I've heard rumors of even better descents off there, too.
