re weather

I know it's not a *lot* of snow.  there's a depth, but it's not deep.  still cold though.

There's a spot on my Bucket List that says "Ride in the outdoors with Griff".

...

Now there's a conflict between wanting to die and wanting to live.  dammit.

I just put fresh tires and a new Shimano 12 speed cassette and chain on the Polygon. Two wheel season starts tomorrow morning. I delivered an old Cannondale to my youngest Uncle this afternoon so he can ride with his older Grandson, the wheel keeps turning.

Two wheel season has a ... start?

come on... inclement conditions are directly proportional to inadequate preparation.

Plus, you're waterproof--you bathe, don't you?  and once you're up to speed you maintain your core temp by maintaining your cadence.  

LET'S RIDE!

I'm gonna be late reentering all these conversations, so, sorry.

but why do the badgers get to proliferate each time they say "badger" but the mushroom and snake do not?

Also, should I be just imagining who they're teabagging, or did I miss a part?

Thank you limey.

Carruthers, my heart is with you.  This is a hard time and no internet posting will make it better.  That won't keep me from making this post, or keep me from trying.  I hope for the best for you and for your Dad.  I've had my own fairly recent experiences with "end of life care".  It was horrible in my mind, but in my memory, it was a blessing.  A blessing.  Obviously, your mileage may vary.

But my internet affection and empathy for you and your Dad does not vary.

Take care of business Carruthers.  We're here, patiently waiting for you, however long it takes; we're here for you.   You know your priorities.  You got this.

Not around here (could be, but, I don't think so).  Maybe less than $20 if ya make em outta found lumber.  Looks to be several feet of 2x6 or 2x8.  That's gonna fly right by $20.

Maybe the lumber is cheaper out there where they grow it.

Here's a link that offers a 2x8x10 Douglas Fir for $8.  Two of them including tax out here where we grow'em still gives you change from your $20.

Come out here for trees, stay for the lumber.

Chrome apparently auto-populated/overwrote the field with data it had saved from previous times I have filled out the form, but the form was so long, it didn't all fit on my screen, and I didn't see that our reference number was overwritten as I worked further down the page. I remember the screen kind of jumping around at some point as I entered our address, and that must have been when it overwrote my data.

This would give me a stroke.

this would give me a paycheck.

**********

I have my own personal memories of most of these nightmares, all (work) day, every (work) day.  Ask me again why I like gardening and riding my manual bicycle.  As for the paycheck chuckle above, it's really true.  I don't feel like I'm profiting from the misery of others, but that I'm profiting from their gratitude for being heard (and sometimes helped).  DJ's voice is a textbook example.

And it's often *not hard* to look good doing it.  Just the other day my teammate and I were having trouble with a serial communication setup.  Looooong story short, including opening the shell of the DB-25 end of the cable and tracing the pinouts compared to the manual, we had the maintenance supervisor open the cabinet and found the connector on the machine on the inside was connected to... air.  At the bottom of the cabinet was a ziploc bag with the ribbon cables that would have carried the serial communication from the connector on the outside of the cabinet to the recently replaced motherboard on the inside of the cabinet.  He connected it, worked first time.

So, thanks to the less than minimal fucking effort on the part of the previous technician, we got it to work and they're happy.  Really, sometimes you just can't make this shit up.

Hi xoB

You gave me a tip a thousand years ago about putting a 2x4 at the lowest edge of my ramps to let my low to the ground VW Golf get up the ramps without pushing the ramps forward (forever) with the bumper before ever getting the tires on the ramp. 

THANK YOU.

I have since re-homed the Golf to a good family.  So my little Ranger doesn't have this problem anymore.  But I did recently come across this video and was fondly reminded of our whole interaction in this regard.  Here's a quick take on some BETTER ramps (<$20)  that do the job.

I miss you guyz.

I'm with ya.

I'm in that middle place where my dead ancestors' stuff is in my possession,  And I have the childhood possessions of the now grown but studio-apartmented children.  It's a lot of stuff.  And it's freighted with nostalgia.

Cleaning it up, collecting it, storing it, sorting it, moving it from where it is to where it really should be... fuck I'm tired just typing about it.
