FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 CK


Seriously....  sitting here crushed, unexpectedly impacted more than I'd have guessed.

If you were to ask me, you can see one live show what would it be:

there's a draft waiting

 I'll poke back at it later - i think it was from Friday night.

it is Monday...no, Tuesday that feels like a Monday after a Monday that felt like a Sunday.

Watched this over lunch before heading to a meeting with the Printer to get the gallery stuff in process, looks like maybe we'll be a Month out from the opening, so soon, maybe Omicron will have died down and it will be enough time before Pi comes and hands everyone their lunch but we'll see, maybe it is a mask only 

shit masqureade opening....  ooof brain esplosion with that idea - could be cool...

anyway it'll be good but back to before lunch, the soundtrack is fabulous btw:


and my french is terrible, but not as bad as I feared, I can still almost understand what's being said some of the time. 

Songs like this: https://youtu.be/cgwDR95QPVM

or: https://youtu.be/s4Afw3_jc_k

or: https://youtu.be/tYUDXnJf3IY

some new tunes I hadn't heard yet... paired well with the action

the meeting has me flat out exhausted tho

should be good

oh and if you missed it (IE don't follow Thom on IG or didn't get the link sent to you by me):

why do we do it?

 Between Friday and Today, well... if you add up the people who rode their bike outside in RI 

There's going to be me and...  probably no one else.

Got in fine today, it was fucking cold tho.

really cold.

Not quite single digits F but close enough and the wind was brutal from the north.

aka a headwind.

really liked having the lighter gear on the singlespeed

Not sure you can call Stevil's thing a blog, it is more a weekly post to drive sales and shit so he can eat food and keep the lights on and buy beers and whatnot. So yeah that's still all good reasons and that he posts good shit and writes well.

I'm not sure i ever do either, maybe borderline post good shit, mostly just shit he or someone else posts that I see and i aggregate here because well whatever for some reason.

Damn I'm down. Whatever, it'll pass. Life moves on. And here I was going to leave and ride home in the ridiculous cold. Yet here I am. Still at work. 

Party is I checked Stevil's post and then clicked over and watched this.


Brown sugar snow is the worst. A mix of dirt and salt and snow and cold so cold it won't melt but all that extra shit in there keeps it from solidifying and then the cars pack it down and it is tough to ride on. 

There's so much to read at Stevils that I have to come back, my brain is glossing over and my attention is drifting and i can't focus. Maybe tomorrow, but maybe you want to go read it now. Or not.

Awe fuck...  temps have dropped, now a nice warm 13°F oh well it isn't that cold only what -10 or -11°C, not like it is -40° (F or C the same). But yeah, even ridden in that too. 

Time to bundle up, needs more than just jeans and a thin jacket for this shit.

I miss my fucking mittens tho, esp on days like today.

twenty twenty [part] two

 

 
Yeah motherfuckers WELCOME BACK

I mean we haven't really gone anywhere. 
Sort of mostly true.
But now we're back.

And there's a whole new wrinkle of crazy added to the mix.
A wrinkle that might make it easier and less stressful.
Eventually.

Recap:
brought the Stache to VA (3 days there and rode trails on two of those days, the other day was christmas) 
Tried to ride everyday the week after, didn't make it, weather or other stuff got in the way, but I did ride the Stache once after putting the 170mm seatpost back on (full of squeak killing teflon pipe dope grease this time). Then the next day rode the Top Fuel with the new 9point8 offset seatpost. Then the 31st went up to ride Borderlands with Mike and his crew. And the rear der did the same thing it did in May on the ride with Syl. Rear der went boom. And instead of being able to put it back together the bolt was not to be found. Scootered back the three miles to the car. That was a bummer, bike was feeling awesome, dropper working really well.
Went back out on the 2nd it was wet in Big River, it is never wet in there. But it was a good ride.
Got stuff printed yesterday for a show here, and talked about the bigger gallery show.

And here I am.

Just as fucking exhaust as I was before.

Oops and things got accelerated today. 

Time to eat a really quick lunch.

maybe more later
