Ain't time to go yet and I've already broken into the Go-Bar. This pour is WT101 (my 200th bottle?), but for fans of peated malts I highly recommend that spankin' new Ardbeg Wee Beastie. It just hit town early last month and this is bottle #3 already. $36 at TW!

Got 5 four packs in the pantry closet. Wife and I like it room temp. Has a nice booziness to it.

So apparently it's a bump stop. I must have bottomed out too hard and broke it. Just one more thing to add to the list of things I need to keep this bike running. It really sucks watching your loved ones grow old.

Below expected utilization for what services? All of healthcare is suffering from loss of business just like many other industries. In a pandemic situation though, it's not overall healthcare utilization that matters. It's utilization of the services that are required to treat severely ill patients, and ensuring that infections don't spread within the walls of those facilities. I have close ties to leaders across each of the major health systems in Austin, and can assure you that none of them are brushing off this pandemic in the manner that you are trying to do.

On my second one buddy and hoping I make it through dinner! At 13.2% I'm thinking that is borderline Barleywine territory.

Oh hell yes! If this shit don't cure COVID-19, nothing will.

I designed and printed a few cable guides for my dropper. Routing is pretty limited on this bike so the guides are needed to keep it out of the suspension, rear tire and pedals. Testing two styles, hopefully tonight if the weather holds up.

Dog is my copilot

What are the C piece that came off and the other part left on the shaft made of? Since this is on the air sleeve and the seals are under the silver washer, I can only see 2 possible functions for this: if it's rubber it's a bump stop. If it's hard plastic, it's a volume reducer. If it's aluminum, I really have no idea.

Rode dirt bikes from 12 to 25 and I still want to do this on my MTB in turns: Hump the gas cap and swing the inside leg out. The Endura Race Cornering clinic was SO good in retraining my brain for MTB.

This guy just got mentioned last week: https://www.812mtbsuspension.com/

Over the past 6-8 yrs I've spent a good amount of time on an MX bike riding in the woods. I've done some hare scrambles and enduros during that time. By far the biggest adjustment I had was in weighting the INSIDE peg to turn the motorcycle (when standing). After spending 20yrs on a bicycle this was completely foreign and awkward to me. Very counterintuitive. I run my brakes 'normal' on both my MX bike and MTB and I never get confused....but my first few minutes of riding my MX bike in the woods and I'm consciously having to readjust my weight transfer for my feet.

The leg dangle has been a thing in MotoGP for many years now. I believe Rossi (definitely not one of the younger guys) started it, and many of the top riders followed. There has been a lot of discussion and speculation as to why they do it at the GP level with nobody ever really confirming why, but it has stuck. In general body positioning in GP racing has changed a lot vs. decades ago, I think the inside body positioning has gotten a lot more significant to the point where the top riders like Marquez are now dragging elbows on the track. It's funny seeing this topic come up here because I've often speculated that riding a sportbike is definitely not helping with my MTB cornering. Seems I'm not alone.

Man, I finally am spending time out at the Ninja and learning my way around. Holy balls that stuff is fun when you kinda start knowing generally how to go. I must’ve ended up on the church stuff because I came upon the jump lines for the first time and let out a “Holy S***!” I hit that small drop like 6 times. My fav run at it was the first one I did with loads of speed from the top of the run-in trail. But man, thank you to the church and that 512Freeride (I think/hope) crew. That stuff is, dare I say, real dope. Respect. The bad news is I've recently learned how to halfass jump. I can’t wait to at least clear the tables(?) for the first time, but those wooden booter deals look and feel awesome. Ugh.

If you could keep a snifter of the Wee Beastie to one side, I would appreciate it. I’m from the island next door, but that one does sound enticing.

Just got back from SN, definitely started thick and humid but improved. Trails were dry but not dusty.

All trails here at Brushy are in good shape. Somehow the rain this morning in Austin dissipated before it got here.

It could have been Hitting the Apex but if I'm wrong and you have not seen it the documentary is definitely worth a watch.

Youz gotz skills!

Not gonna lie, that's pretty fuckin impressive!!

A friend donated to me this morning. Looking to keep it all in the Family this afternoon.

Well it’s Friday somewhere watermelon vodka splash of simple syrup half a lime, squeezed muddled mint Starting my weekend off right.

Squirrels don’t stand a chance! He’s like a baby goat. That’s awesome.

I love dog threads. Here is the world's laziest border collie.

Interesting is right... I've printed and designed/printed a few things on my 3D printer for my bikes: Multi-tool Holder for my Fanny Pack: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3284483 Camelback Dryer: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2141643 Chain Holder (This has been very handy): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:630093 Chain Master Link tool https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1405895
