Off to the airport.
Yello.
We are going to attempt two NetApp rackings today. Its a whole lot of waiting around for them to update the OS, so there will be lots of coffee consumed today.
The clouds are high today and the sun is trying to poke through them, it is creating a wonderful orange glow. I haven't been this excited for summer and riding in a long time.
Quick question for anyone that has done the seal kit for Fox Float CTD or any other Fox air shock I guess. Mine feels buttery smooth and while I only have two short rides on it, there seems to be a lot of float fluid on the shock shaft and sitting at the main dust wiper. Is that normal for a few rides? Did I just squirt a little too much Float fluid into the one chamber?

TSA, bound to make this hippie a small government conservative. 
Very generally speaking, I wouldn't worry about some fluid the first couple rides. Probably just left overs from assembly. If it continues, I might rebuild it again.
last day on the short bus untli Monday. Heading out with the wife in the camper with the hores in the trailer to a Dressage competition in Gilroy. She will compete and I will get paid to watch (show EMT). Taking the dogs who will enjoy walking the trails on the 500 acre property.
Moar Coffee plz.

Back from vacation, FTS mode in full effect.
As per 4/20 rules, heard Sleep's Dopesmoker twice on the radio yesterday...
Morning Monkies!
Tuesday's long day really knocked the crap out of me, I was basically worthless yesterday and didn't go riding even though I'd made the time.
Today will be my Friday and I plan to cut out at noon and take a nice slow trail ride in the expected 80 degree weather.
Other than that I can only dream about having enough whores to haul around in a trailer.

Here. Did a 4 mile run last night and brought the dogs with me. Paced at 10:30, which is faster for the longer run, which is good. The dogs however were spent when we got home. Gave them a bath and they quickly fell asleep. No pee last night, but I did get woken up around midnight because they needed to go out. Wifey is travelling today, so I dropped the dogs at daycare. Hopefully it wears them out for tonight as well.
Yah, I deny those.
met a 1 legged climber at the gym last night.
No hos in my trailer today. 
Shards -> luck, right? My old Moto X fell from 1ft on tiles and the glass imploded. B&H photo has great deals on Nexus 5x so I've ordered one, I hope they'll ship before shutting their door for their extended pesach holiday.
Also, WFH today, lunchtime ride FTW.

Breaking news: Fired up the lawnmower and used it for the first time this year...
More soccer with the little guy this morning now sporting real soccer shoes a lot better than playing in my running shoes and actually very comfortable. Brilliant ride to work just perfect weather for a commute. Did get a little close to a lady crossing the street when she started dancing back and forwards which made it difficult for me to know where to go.
Used to be a guy around here, @SkaredShtles might have know him, who was a one legged mountain biker. Was an absolute monster ascending on a bike.
I rode with a one armed guy that was 68 years old a while back. Had a prostetic hand and did the whole ride with a chew in his mouth!
Yeah - he died. He was a bit of a local legend.
Are we talking about Brett Wolfe? I saw him at some races back in the day.Yeah - he died. He was a bit of a local legend.
Hello, my beautiful friends.
Prince died today only 57- wtf?
Saw him in concert in the late 80s it was pretty brilliant.

He smoked me going uphill at White Ranch, if it was the same guy...
Pretty much this.
Kîddo rode his bike to school and back solo for the first time today, no mishaps.
No more taking him in the morning!
More slack time for coffee!

Back from 90 minutes of afternoon trail riding, I the rode South Shore of the river on the new bike with adjusted psi in the fork, shock and tires. Much success for the tires at 25 psi, they don't fly up hills like skinnies on a hardtail but no care today, in fact I walked 2 short climbs, still no care. For the time being I am happy with the X Kings.
The float 32 fork will also be fine, I've got the sag correct and used about 80% of available travel in trail mode. The rear shock is proving hard for me to set up, even with increased psi I still used the full stroke without leaving the ground. It's amazing to me that the frame will bottom out but you never feel it, kind of puts a smile on your face.
At the trail head one guy and his dog were getting ready to ride a super fancy neon green something cool (forgot the maker already) that looked pretty beefy. I told him I'd let him hit the trail first so I wouldn't interrupt his flow. He said no worries and took off for the PAVED walking path bypassing half a mile of flowing XC descent. I flow'd myself down the trail and didn't see him again until the return back to the lot. He rode up the trail and I took easy up paved trail... not sure what I wanted to prove but I hit the decent again and zipped back down to the bottom and took the paved trail back up again.
The trail conditions close to town are fucking awesome.
EDIT: Intense Tracer in neon green, looked bad ass with black fork and kit.

21.5 miles, 2,200' climbing. Mixed media - gravel, pavement, doubletrack, singletrack, no trail a-tall. For the off-road stuff, maybe two miles of it is on someone's map other than mine. Stopped to eat ramps, and again to drink a beer. Black flies are out.
@Serial Midget if more air pressure isn't helping try adding some low speed compression
My looser X wife just posted this about our 16 year old daughter
Out daughter Tyler is here with me crying her eyes out over this says she does not know what it's about.....
Our daughter is a straight A student she is taking AP courses as a junior in school volunteers at special Olympics, her boyfriend and her volunteered to paint a church basement last summer .......I'm not just saying this because she is my daughter she truly is a sweet polite considerate young lady........I'm sooooooo out of my mind mad over this what possible could a 16 year old girl do to be berated like that....am I over reacting??? Sorry if this was the wrong place to vent
A month ago my daughter's grandmother passed away and this shows the person my daughter is her grandmother basically drown in her own lungs is was not a pretty sight and Tyler got in the hospital bed with her and held her hand until she passed on
