Whats all the low sides from? Dragging foot pegs/hard parts? 

I need to get into this but just don't have the time. Circleville is too far for a day trip. 

Found out that if you lose power, the Shorai battery charger does not default to 'store' mode. The battery had enough juice to prime the fuel pump and that was about it. 

After getting the battery charged back up, started the track bike for the first time since last year. Took a few cranks but started up, the idle seemed off from what i remember. /shrug

Cleaned the chain really well, looks brand new again. 

Still need to do an oil change and change out the anitfreeze.

depending on the vent, I have seen someone put a plain piece of paper in it to divert the air flow sideways so it wasn't blowing straight down.

If you are bold, you can look up the 3M window insulation kit, and install it on the vent, but that all depends on the level of risk you can assume.  Tampering with company HVAC can be a firing offense.

Most likely i would just get a don't do that again. For good or bad, it's almost impossible it get fired from this place. 

Work rearranged the cube farm and now i sit directly beneath a HVAC vent. It is currently blowing cold air on me in an office that is already colder than any other part of the building. 

I already tried turning the damper but it's broken of course. Next idea is to take the diffuser cover off and shove a towel or something in the down tube. 

Ordered some new sticky Pirelli's since they came back in stock.

Honestly, I assume that kind of pizza has onions on it. I think anyone that has pizza more than 2 times a year would have the same assumption lol.

Right?

I asked the guy what's on the chicken pizza (pizza by the slice place) and he said chicken bacon ranch. I assumed that was all that was on it. You couldn't see the onions at all. 

And usually I just get cheese or pineapple (let the hate begin) pizza. Don't care for pizza with 50 different toppings. 

Got chicken bacon ranch pizza for lunch. They failed to tell me there were onions on it. Pizza now ruined. 

Got x-rays today and my scapula is still fractured. The gap is about half of what it was but definitely still there. I start PT next week but not allowed (probably can't anyways) to do any upper body strength training on my own. 

My last workout was on 2/8. It'll be interesting to see how much strength I lose between then and when I can officially start up again in another 4-6 weeks. 

I still use Pandora and the free XM trial subscription in the car. I'm too lazy to actually make a playlist and continuously update it as new stuff comes out. 

I search multiple sites but they are all the same usually cost. Most of the time i use expedia cause they give points. 

OEM windshield for my grand cherokee was $750+ for just the windshield plus install. I would have to pay for all of it if i wanted OEM. Needless to say i want aftermarket and insurance paid for all of it. $0 deductible.

Holy shit, that's gotta hurt.  

Its an aching pain of 3 but if i move the wrong way it's about a 8-9. About drops me to my knees.

Pretty sure its an just let it heal injury, not to much can be down. Will know more later today. 

Fell hard snowboarding at Holiday Valley on Sat. Racing some friends on bordercross. Caught a front edge and got thrown down very hard. Sharp shoulder pain, tried to ski it off for couple hours and gave up at lunch time. 

Went to urgent care today after not feeling better this morning. Figured i just pull muscles or something. Ended up fracturing my scapula (shoulder blade). Found out that it's quite hard to do that and first time that provider has ever seen it. Have an early appointment tomorrow with a orthopedic specialist. Hoping no other injuries. 

We are looking for a quality inspector at Vitamix. Not sure where you live but this would be a pretty easy job with probably no overtime. Not sure if it would be at our Olmsted Falls or Strongsville location. But i doubt you would be making 80k either. I can get you more information if interested. 

I look at mine while working out downstairs twice a week. 

Going to pick up a new mountain bike this year. The used one I got last year is just a bit too small. But that bug almost bit as hard as the track day bug.

I think most of us have been “on the track” once or twice.?

I've yet to be "on the track" but i have a few off-road adventures under my belt at Nelsons. One still put me in the meat wagon unfortunately. 

I have to make it to Pitt this year. Still haven't ridden the new track yet.

 I'm also going to bump my steering dampener way up.

 

Watch yourself in pits once you do that. I about dropped my bike last year cause i forgot i bumped it up. Went to turn and the wheel didn't turn. Haha.

I still have 2 no-name rear stands, a no-name front stand, and a vortex head stand for the track bike. But with all the use the track bike's rear stand gets, I decided to upgrade when a good deal came along. One did so I snatched it up. Up next are 2 TRS systems. 

Absolutely love the TRS they have. I'll never go back to tie downs. Makes loading by myself super easy. 

I'm at year 8 with our Samsung fridge with zero repairs/issues. *knock on wood* 

Not sure what brand my parents have but it's less than 2 years old and have had a repair tech out like 3-4 times already. All under warranty. But it's a POS and they are trying to get it either replaced or refunded. 

I'm at Peek'n Peak most weekends in the winter.

Went to Park City last year for 3 days. Going back to Park City this year for 3-4 days in March. My friends parents have a time share at the base of the mountain they bought in the 80's. 

I want to get a wood lathe and mess around with it. If i could sell some stuff then that would be a plus. 

Couple years ago i made lamps out of wine bottles and they were a big hit. I bet i could sell them for $20.

Laguna Seca is like 1.5 hours south.

Would love to check it out but i wouldn't be able to get there until like 7:00PM at the earliest. Maybe we'll get out early on Friday. Looking at their calendar, they will be doing ChumpCar F/Sa/Su. 

Going to San Jose all next week for training. Anyone been there before and have any places to check out. Going to see the San Fran bridge but that's all i got so far.

Hopefully i can make the date on this one. Couldn't make it last year.
