man, cooked up some just off the boat Mahi on the grill, a nice 5 minute marinade of Sesame oil, Togarashi, Himalayan sea salt, and black pepper. Served with rice pilaf, and local bok choy, peppers, and garlic.
so simple, so good.
Hope you have a great morning!

22:38 here in Pōneke, off to bed soon. Just watched the 97% lunar eclipse with the fam. Still about 75% now.

Have a excellent day @rideit, hope you and the missus have most excellent adventures.

 

[Adventurous]

Oi!! Made a fire last night in the fire pit. That was lovely to sit around for a few hours.

Coffee and work. Looking forward to an open house and some time in the woods this weekend.

 

[Changleen]

So it was a full eclipse elsewhere in Aotearoa, and apparently it was a longcat too.

good thing I just spent the last 18 days on the east coast as getting up at my normal 3 am is the same as the 6 am that I was getting up at the horse show. Dogs fed and tossed out into the back yard. sipping espresso. Dump on the horizon

Today. Wtf already.

 

[Jozz]

yes yes, it is.

Ugh, road construction shaking the whole house at 7am, doing what looks like classic spending of town money for no reason. Disrespectful idiots.

New DJI FPV should be arriving to the house today from refresh to replace the last crashed version. Surprise slow boat cornucopia of FPV goodies arrived yesterday from the china as well. Looks like i will be soldering and wiring all day today. NO complaints since it is raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock.

 

[stoney]

Meh

 

[canadmos]

Doubling down on this. I admit to posting this from the comfort of my bed, before seeing this bullshit outside:

 

[Pesqueeb]

Soon as I decide to leave the comfort of my bed it will be espresso time, then dog walk. After that I shall go ride a bike on new trails in the canyon. As is tradition, my brother, who was supposed to go, has already flaked out.

Is that the enduro-bros-hated-semi-paved-trail made famous by enduro-bros-haters on empty beer?

I haven't been on empty beer in years, so I couldn't say. I presume not, given the nature of the other trails in the canyon.

 

[Sandwich]

espresso drank, car drove, work started.

Cigars and whiskey on tap for this evening, perhaps sushi prior. got next week off so I just need to stay true through the end of the day....

and make fun of tesla where I can!

 

[sunringlerider]

Glad to know I’m not the only one that says that

Mornin. Going to pick up my half of a dead cow today at the butcher. Will have $3.50/lb in it. Pretty jazzed bout that.

Well, I stand corrected! Yup, those are the ones. Im not going to read the gazette article, because fuck that fascist rag of a newspaper, but I'm still going to go check out the new stuff. If it's not any good, I simply won't ride them again. It's a god damned miracle that this backwards ass city built anything at all, and Enduro bros are going to cry into their fanny packs about it? Fuck em.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Oh look, the sun came up again. Crazy.

 

[jonKranked]

met with some local riding dudes last night at a brewery. wheels are finally in motion to get properly organized as a trail crew and begin working with the state park on which our "local" trails reside. instead of creating our own 501c3 LLC, we are organizing as a subsidiary of the group from another regional trail network. will be nice to finally have proper authorization to go in and perform basic trail maintenance.

Wifey is hurting badly from her booster. Sore, worn out, and while not sick is feeling the effects. I'm a little stiff but I can't tell if it's from our bed getting more uncomfortable (it's on last legs), the dog and cat sleeping on the bed (so I'm trying not to crush the cat while avoiding the dog), or said shot.

Another busy day. Been so busy all week that I haven't been able to even return a single call that I've received, so I get to squeak those in between my non-client meetings and other catch-up stuff. I can't wait for the year to end and be able to hit reset on stuff.

 

[jstuhlman]

fuck this shit. going leaf surfing in the hills.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I'm here so how about you get up off my ass about it.

 

[Toshi]

Hello all

 

[iRider]

Shit, colleague has the 'rona. Breakthrough infection with few symptoms. Haven't seen him much to qualify as direct contact, but he has been around.

we have 3 cats that share our bed. 2 are big getting bigger.

also, my son got his first shot last night. was a champ about it, but he gets allergy shots on a regular basis so it doesn't bother him quite so much. a local pharmacy put on a clinic at our districts HS, and he actually ran into a few of his classmates there. being such a large clinic, there were definitely some kids nervous about getting their shot, and i did hear a couple kids cry as well. the staff running the clinic was really nice to everyone, so kudos to them and to all the kids who were scared but did it anyways.

I haven't ridden it yet, but the number of people in that thread who don't live here, bitching about the low quality of new trails here, is unbelievable. If you don't like our new trails, please don't come here. A perfect example of why I no longer frequent MTBR.

Got a letter in the mail from my bank instructing us on how we should handle our last mortgage payment, next month. For some reason that eludes me, they won't just auto draft it.

I'm not saying that it's a trap, but it's a trap.

 

[gonefirefightin]

Quick story time, happened just meow.....

Bit of backstory, I had my truck broken into last week and the neighbors had a converter stolen same night so I upgraded the street facing cameras to color infrared for better night time vis.

Sitting at my computer sorting the market before the weekend and chatting with you freaks on the webz when I see on my camera system a car roll up on the house, shut off the lights and coast to a slow stop across the street. I throw my pistol in my pocket, grab my 6 cell mag light and find the dude walking down the neighbors driveway with a tail pipe cutter in hand. Scared the chit out of him with my light in his face and got a pic of his plate before he sped off. Cops took 23 minutes to show up, lol

Now that they have his plate come to find out he is wanted for eluding a neighboring dept and I will get called to identify any of the stuff he stole out of my rig a week ago.

That's fair, but IMO it also demonstrates that skilled riders experience the same "progress" everywhere - old techy trails being removed for new flat & flowy 6ft wide machine-built sidewalks with ugly grade reversals; and zero new steep/technical trails ever permitted to be built again.

 

[Serial Midget]

Ugh, road construction shaking the whole house at 7am, doing what looks like classic spending of town money for no reason. Disrespectful idiots.

Building back better, no?

No mortgage is good mortgage! Buy low, pay off, profit.

That reminds me, I should go ride Lynn sometime. I always appreciated the old school techy trails that only got tougher with age and no maintenance. Wonder if it's still as I remember.

They literally dug up holes in pavement and then patched them up instantly. What-in-the-unholy-f*ck.

They have to spend their entire budget before the end of the fiscal year. If they fail to do so then they will receive less money the following year. Almost all municipalities do this. They just make up bullshit projects to spend the money on. Beats me why they don’t actually work on things that really do need repairs.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Trying to decide if I should go play in the woods or take a nap. Already pooped so it could go either way.
