Things I’d rather be doing:
Things I’m doing: renovations drawings for a nursing home.
I’m hoping to get out of here early so I can go for a ride. The new trail has a nice chicane. Its a little hairy cuz if you come in too hot its either a beach ball sized rock or a tree. I love the new trails. They are pretty easy but higher speed. I really feel like a rally car blasting down a stage.
I remember last year there was like 6 other people with this birthday so happy birthday to you guys too. Post the things you would rather be doing and what you are stuck doing instead.

Wait, isn’t that what Canada always looks like? I thought Canadians commuted by hockey skates and settled work disagreements on the ice?

I’ve been basically a desk bound make-work-project for the last two months on account of dislocating my shoulder. I’ve been able to get out on the road again a couple times in the last week now that I can finally operate a tape measure (seriously, a fucking tape measure...) continuously instead of sporadically, and it’s been soooo nice. Sadly today I’m stuck with more of the former

I want to live in this alternate reality you describe.

Happy birthday! Would rather be on tour with doggo than being stuck here at work getting annoyed and annoying calls from the customer.

Happy Birthday! I hope you get out there. I went to Parker Mountain (aka PRKR MTN) in Littleton, NH to go mountain biking on my birthday back in May. Planned to go to a brewery after but it was closed. Can’t win ‘em all...

I can’t remember if it I was talking to you or someone else about this, but Highland Mountain is a fun place to go in NH.

Probably me. Funny, it’s 25 min from me, maybe, yet I’ve never been! Most of my biking friends have been, and are always telling me to go.

In her defense, it was a very hot day and we hadn’t seen water for a while. At least she doesn’t budge when I hose her down when coming home

Me too, would probably end up with a broken back/neck/leg/arm.

all of the above. The last time I went to highland 23 people left in ambulances. One wrecked on a berm and broke his collar bone. the other dropped off a drop onto his face and probably broke his back/neck/leg/arm.
there is a trail at a local place that goes down hill. there are 3 small jumps and then one with a 10-15 foot gap. I could get the speed to make it but never the courage. I dont know if I have the skill to land it.

This kind of stuff, you want to work your way up to it. Our local free ride area has taken me YEARS to ride a couple of features. One is a gap drop at the start, the other is a ramp drop of maybe 3-4 feet. Both ride smooth but you got to be committed otherwise you get hurt.
here is a video of the trail:

i could handle 95% of that. there was one gap jump that I was like NOPE. That looks like an awesome ride tho.
