Took two tries for my boss to realize that I was serious. Figured the printed letter was pretty obvious.
I learned a lot, but glad to be out of that very toxic and unstable place.
Took the offer from a small family owned seed company. I’ve known the owner for 10 years or so. Should be good. It’s the same company I had been an independent dealer for the last 3 years. Now get moar moneys a new truck and more responsibility, but should be sweet.
Work was busy and stressful yesterday. Today looks like a return to some normalcy on this WFH day.
I swam 2500 yards early this morning and will get out for a run around noon. No pedaling until next week.

went to the annual Fly Fishing Club BBQ last night. Really good Tri Tip and Chicken plus good sides and desserts. First mug of espresso isn't doing me much good so to quote a certain movie..."Thank you sir, May I have another?
Again, I find myself this morning at the door of Jury Room 261, 360 Adams Street. The aperture is black with a darkness almost material. That tenebrousness is indeed a positive quality; for it obscured such parts of the inner walls as ought to have been revealed, and actually burst forth like smoke from its aeon-long imprisonment, visibly darkening the sun as it slunk away into the shrunken and gibbous sky on flapping membraneous wings. The odour arising from the newly opened depths was intolerable, and at length I heard a nasty, slopping sound down there. It lumbered slobberingly into sight and gropingly squeezed Its gelatinous green immensity through the black doorway into the tainted outside air of that poison city of madness. The Thing cannot be described—there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled. God! What wonder that across the earth a great architect went mad? The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. The stars were right again, and what an age-old cult had failed to do by design, a an empaneled juror had done by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight.
School things are starting back up. Wife is going in for classroom organization and some training. I have to take kid to highschool at 10 for pictures and schedule pick up. Maybe I'll go ride after, if I can squeeze one in before the monsoon kicks off.

Beef and Chicken at a fishing club meeting. . . Seems like there would have been something else on the menu.
So yeah, what else is going on?
Morning pooh flingers...3 day weekend for me...if I dont get to pedal I am going to lose my ever loving mind...
Crazy weather up here last night...you guys get pummeled? I think the mad scientists at the Mountain were screwing with the weather control thingamajig...again.

We had a hell of a lightning show, but only got about 15 minutes of mild rain. I was definitely expecting hail, but we didn't get any. How bad was it up there?
Heads are rolling at work, 2 more peeps bite the dust. Will there be more? Guess we shall see. I may have partially contributed to one of the departures by highlighting that said individual was not adequately managing the supplier relationship they were responsible for.
Flooring and sanding on tap for today. Tomorrow starts an uninterrupted 10 day span of no work, which will be weird since I have taken 2, maybe 3 days of PTO this year.
hey brodingos
birds woked me up again so I went out for an early bike ride. It's great to get out at the butt crack, would be nice if I was seeing some gainz tho.
Scooped up yet another trash pick. This time it's a trek precaliber 20 that the owner presumably ran over with his or her car. It's practially brand new aside from a taco'd front rim and a bent crank. I will see if I can unbend the crank or aliexpress a new one, then swap wheels and my son will have a new bike.

so did that woman have to go to your boss for the info or what
first driving then this, my god
/me is lounging. Snuggle time with middle kid soon. Then a walk down the hill and back up again.
rode 5 or the past 6 days, got skunked by rain on 1, and rides shortened on 2 including yesterday. Still, awesome.
Found a pretty good deal on a practically new inflatable kayak.
I already have one but don’t really like it that much.Thankfully I have a buyer lined up for my current boat already.
It’s been raining consistently at night here, which means the trails are probably hero traction. But I have not had time to sample the goods as work has been hecka busy and I’ve been otherwise engaged in the evenings.

Is a taco'ed rim worth rebuilding or fixing, or is it pretty much toast? I think I can pull the one off my daughter's old bike to put on this new one, but I am shocked at how difficult it is to find a replacement honestly, and the rim and hub are like new aside from the rim being...wobbly. 24 spokes or whatever and an hour of my time doesn't sound so bad if it's salvageable.
I meant to tell you before you left that they were shutting down 70 for rock work during the week...
Aren't you the guy that buys from Ali-bay-chen all the time? You can find EVERYTHING there.
Anyway, if the rim is really badly taco'ed then the spokes are toast too and need to be replaced. If it is a cheap wheel, getting a full wheel is often the more economic solution.
You should tell him now. I'm away, otherwise I'd do it.I meant to tell you before you left that they were shutting down 70 for rock work during the week...
I'd give it the ole, grab it firmly with both hands and whack it on the ground until it's somewhat true then get it as good as possible with spoke tension, trick. Then ride it till it dies.
It's hard to read something like this from someone who doesn't have a custom title yet.
at this point it's colorado dept of transportation bulldozers that keep it a canyon
It tries really hard to not be
like thinking you can defeat nature...
