Tuesday
This is me and my wife, currently.
Due to quarantine we currently spend a fair amount of time talking to each other from around door frames.

Skullbucketry
killer, today
He’s 14 years and two months old. He’s a wizened old dude, made to look even more so because the idiots at the groomers ignored my request to leave enough of a winter coat to keep him warm until summer comes, and cut off his underbody feathers to boot. I’m beyond pissed. He shivers now a lot if I don’t keep the heat cranked up and wrap him in a blanket.
He has inflammatory bowel disease, meaning food doesn’t stay in him for long and comes out poorly digested, so he’s getting thinner. We’ve tried all sorts of special diets, which he loathes and refuses to eat, he gets probiotics and steroid pills and B12 injections, and he does eat boiled chicken and a little rice, so he’s not starving to death, but he’s definitely winding down an otherwise excellent life.
Sharing this to those who have admired him here as much as we do. Time erases us all, and we can only hope and strive to have shared and generated this much love before we go.
My goal is to keep him alive long enough for my wife to return and see him after 3 weeks in NM coping with intense family issues.
He is the goodest boy.

the NWS is done with winter too
the NWS forecast made me laugh and laugh, the forecaster HAS HAD IT
the temp discussion of the forecast was this: "Notice I didn`t talk about temperatures yet? Yeah, don`t want to but I spose I must. It`s spring, birds chirping, grass growing, flowers blooming, not so if you live in
eastern Utah and the Western Slope. Thanks to our cold front
yesterday much colder temperatures will continue to move into the
area. Case in point, H7 temps noon yesterday ranged from -9C north
to -7C down south. Fine. Today, models prog these same temps to
range from -16C north to about -12C south. Now that`s just not
fair, folks. How are we supposed to get warm with temperatures
like these? Fact is, we won`t . . . Yeah, sure, much
colder than normal. Thanks for asking."

This would totally be me if I was writing the weather updates
In my head the NWS weather radio robot is reading this entire forecast verbatim.
I thoroughly enjoy seeing this type of humor appear. What would be even better is listening to NOAA broadcasting this message over the airwaves in "his" deadpan voice though.

this is awkist and I don't like it

A real high watermark for performative bullshit. Imagine thinking you can "deter" rage-killers who are likely to be killed during their attack or even planning to commit suicide. *smgdh*

Death penalty for whatever means leave no witnesses. If anything it would make it worse.
Well it worked for murder, right?
The potential punishment rarely factors into the decision to commit a crime.

SAME. But we’re still fabulous, no?
@MackReed Absolutely!

Fat Bike Tuesday
Pretty excited about the latest addition to the fleet, a 2015 Salsa Mukluk.
I demoed a fat bike when I eventually bought my Salsa Woodsmoke (https://mltshp.com/p/1ARFR), while fun I decided 27.5+ tires were better suited for all-round mountain bike use. What plus tires don’t do well is snow, but central Ohio winters are too unpredictable to justify spending much on gear specifically for that purpose. Some years we might have weeks or months of snow riding, others we might get four months of mud. However, when I saw a flyer at the grocery store selling a Mukluk $499, I couldn’t pass it up. 4” wide tires at 6psi should float and offer plenty of grip on any remotely packed snow, and give a little variety to my usual off-road rides.
Only downside is it’s a medium (17”) while my other two Salsas are larges (19”), but with the long seat post and overall bigness it seems to fit fine. I only had time for a quick ride at some pretty mild trails on my lunch break today, but it was definitely fun (until https://mltshp.com/p/1OSCH). A lot more nimble that expected, the low pressures and big tires have tons of grip and give a really compliant ride. The short gearing and extra rolling resistance keep speeds pretty low, but it’s still a pretty good workout.
It’s also silly fun on the paved trail I took to the mountain bike trail. The tires make a loud growl on pavement, people are already getting over before I can call out “on your left”. I get a lot more smiles and waves from pedestrians, including a few minutes of questions about the bike from a 70 year old walking his dog.

That’s a great deal on a Mukluk, nice find! I haven’t done a lot of fat tire miles, it I imagine the smaller frame might be a little more nimble, as long as it fits otherwise.
Damn, a Mukluk for $500 is an amazing deal!
ELI 5, is putting up with bogginess of extra rolling resistance really worth it for - what is it - the cushiness of fatbiking? I’m honestly uneducated here.

Young Chewbacca...
Crossed the rainbow bridge back to Kashyyyk last summer. @MackReed's post reminded me that I had to say goodbye to the fuzzball. This is one of the last pictures I took of him.
When I first came back to Chicago in 2011 and moved in with my brother there were a few weeks that I was sleeping on the couch because I didn't have a bed yet. On the nights when Chet was there he would whine at the bedroom door to get out and come jump on the couch so he could sleep on my head. Every night.
He was such a good boy.

Flat Tire Tuesday
The inaugural ride on the new-to-me fat bike (https://mltshp.com/p/1OSCG) was going great, until I noticed the bike no longer wanted to turn. Clearing a small log a few minutes later, it became obvious I was quickly losing air up front. I walked it out of the woods to the paved trail, with a new-to-me bike I wanted a “get picked up” backup plan just-in case.
I try to be prepared, so I did have tools, CO2 cartridges, and a spare tube. It wasn’t especially hard to change the tire, but I couldn’t find any obvious cause of the air loss (usually a thorn around here) which always makes me nervous putting a new tube in. The old tube also never lost all of its air, just most of it - thinking a bad valve stem. I also never got the tire to fully seat against the lip of the rim - turns out the spare tube the previous owner gave me was 29 x 3, not 26 x 4. It was noisy, but I made the two mile ride home.
