Going to post this memory I got from Facebook today. It made me laugh again. This was posted on the God Facebook page:
@JDurk - For me - summer, winter, all seasons - I still eat, soil my undergarments, and shit. So I'm going to allow it. Objection overruled.
@jmanic - ok fair enough. I am not sure we got our signals crossed, more that it probably went like this:
You: Ok so fuck The Tunnel, watch The Bridge
Me: Tunnel, ok got it.
You: No no, watch The Bridge
Me: Fuck The Bridge. On it
You: Nononononono. Watch....ok never mind
Sort of like this:
@stb222 - ok I think I knew the STB part before but the 222 part sounds new. Interesting and thanks for the share. I think we were on 222 recently. Maybe on the trip back from Virginia when we rode that park you grew up riding. For me, growing up on the PA/NJ border, west (Allentown) was sort of the direction you went to become a hillbilly and live a life of non-fulfillment. East was the direction the civilized world lived in. I had no idea there was any scene at all there, aside from WZZO. As for Zwift/etc, it's not a dangling carrot because a) IDGAF what other people think and b) I'm not trying to convince anyone they should do it. So the bait never gets taken.
@MissJR - maybe to a point, but Iggy gets it wrong like every time. In truth I'm pretty sure he actually does it on purpose and when he gets it right, it really means he got it wrong. My phone literally autocorrects well to we'll 100% of the time. I mean, who the F says, "It was going we'll"?
@rick81721 - not sure about you but I try to wipe my ass before I stick my fingers up there. I mean, at least the first grab should be relatively clean unless you need to pull it out. I'm getting old and all but I have never had that happen.
@seanrunnette and
@fidodie and I did a podcast today and honestly we need to have a timer or something. We hit 2:05 and I am pretty sure we could still be talking. You guys will need to let us know if we didn't let Pat talk enough. He's too modest. Overall I enjoyed him as a guest. We may have to have him on more often. I brought chocolate chip banana bread & fresh peaches to the house because I was being guest-hospitable. But then nobody ate it. I left it there. This podcast was my
Thing I Did When Not Training today.
But I did ride, and I worked. Since I blew my whole morning going up to Sean's I needed to ride while working. This is what I came up with:
@seanrunnette and
@Magic (Ok fuck it, I've changed his name) think I should buy the Wahoo Desk but I think this is perfectly fine. I literally worked the whole time, moving dev code from the shitty consultants to the Duke test environment. On the days where I just want to spin easy but need to work and I'm tight on time, this is perfect. Any kind of effort won't be realistic because position & sweat and whatnot. But for light days, this is a total win.
On the topic of shitty consultants, I got 1 of them ejected today. Can't take it anymore. I took his parachute though.
I hate rest weeks. I am getting so antsy and I feel like I am gaining a pound an hour. But I am trying to stick to this self-induced plan in an effort to create a finely tuned cyclocross killing machine. Ok well, how about a dull potato peeler? I'll take what I can get. I'm just trying to be good.
But I really do need to do something. Due to boss' orders, I will be done for the week at around noon tomorrow. I will have 5 hours free to do anything I want. I may just go for an easy 3 hour road ride because I need to do something. I'm getting pent up. Who wants to ride Friday afternoon? Maybe I'll go cruise around Six Mile. Open to suggestions.
Still working out the weekend plans. Basic outline is that we are leaving NJ Saturday morning and returning Sunday night(ish). We need to meet D's dad Sunday morning and hand over the boys, who will be up in Canada for the next 2 weeks. We plan to ride Gurney Lane with the kids Saturday but we have no plans for Sunday. We're trying to figure out what to to Sunday on the way back. Just reached out to
@2Julianas and
@MurderBort to see what they are up to.
Someone find us something stoke-worthy to ride between Plattsburgh, NY and home.
Update since the above was written:
* Friday afternoon Six Mile
* Saturday Gurney Lane
* Sunday Taconic 909
You are all welcome to join us for any/all of these.
Finished my first e-book yesterday,
Infinite, by Jeremy Robinson. I think
@jShort would like this, so I would add this to your list. It's an interesting discussion and does have some solid narrative discourse. As the book goes on it gets a little trite, then you realize this was by design and it traps you into the meaning of the title. I enjoyed it, legit SciFi but with a very current narrative. This is not your grandpa's Science Fiction, eg Isaac Asimov.
This may also be the book that turned the corner from being a non-eReader to an eReader. Not sure what I think of that. He says, as he picks up his 4 pound, 900 page Cryptonomicon. I have also bought the first of the MurderBot series, which is the foundation for Mark's new username.
BTW forgot to wish
@JimN a happy birthday yesterday. So I would like to say happy birthday -1, or +364, whichever you prefer.
