What’s that I hear? Sounds like HFD1 is doing a rescue up Koko Crater right now. No pics, as its dark!

I don’t know what was up with this week but it has been horrible traffic and idiot drivers everywhere. Tuesday I left my house 40 minutes early in order to get in early to do an install. I instead got to work at my usual time so was late to my install. That meant it took me over 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to work.
Wednesday I left a little early since I had another install. It was a little better, about 40 minutes.
This morning I had to go back early for the install. Took over an hour to get from my house to Windward Mall. And then a short while ago getting back to the office from Kam Shopping center took almost an hour.
That’s it, close the borders! No more people please, we’re all full.
There are some confused kids out there. Spotted in front of me at Don Quixote checkout, a Late teen early twenties guy with slim fit corduroy pants, that were baggy. Yes, he somehow managed to do that.
(0)OK, someone’s got too high an opinion of themselves. On my drive home from work yesterday KORL wasn’t playing anything good so I switched to BT to play music from my iPhone. The second song to come up was a U2 son. Huh? I didn’t think it was doing Pandora and I didn’t have anything U2ish in my lists, I’m not a fan. Turns out U2 was doing a free thing with their latest album on iTunes. Problem was it was done as a push thing so it showed up in your device whether you wanted it or not. WTF, U bonerz did this the wrong way, you’ve rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
(0)Un-lucked out being behind a first-gen Highlander whose CV joint boot exploded. Got smeary residue on the windscreen that won’t easily rinse off.
(0)Drat. That’s two ride opportunities missed this week. Monday was lizard tales with the neighbor and Filter Queen filter cone change, and Wednesday just was dark and doomy after I got off the phone with Chris. The weather is supposed to deteriorate toward the weekend, so Friday will probably be a wash too. Should have really gone on Sunday no matter how ill I felt or how awful the heat.
Aloha, SNM fans. Self-invited guest blogger “Toki-doki” here (aptly dubbed, if I may say so myself) to offer explanation, reflection, and atonement for the weird but thankfully brief disturbance I inflicted on the Whistler biketrip guys last week. Not sure which category this falls into, I think it’s mostly “rant” obliquely related to “culture” and “travel”, but more likely it’ll make the reader want to “SUAR”. If you had “roast”, as in celebrity roast, this would sit squarely in that category since Root gets raked pretty good over the coals (or rolled into the imu, if we’re going for regional flavor). And while it’s definitely not food review, I submit the accompanying pink drink photo (more about it later) to counterbalance all the beer-and-gear weighing down this site – nah, actually I don’t have a visual aid for this story, but I figured we owe a tribute to the WAG/SOs [wives and girlfriends/significant others] who steadfastly keep calm and carry on through whatevah, and who will hopefully find this parable entertaining as well.

I’m sure my doctor would not be happy if he found out I went sliding down a rooted, rocky trail on my bike in the rain and slammed my just-healed knee into a tree in the bad direction. That turned the last third of Business Time into one-legged parkour with a bike, but the cold weather kept the pain and swelling down so I was able to ride back to Whistler village.
I usually don’t have issues in Canada, but this trip has given me significant flatus.
