time change

Of all the campaign promises made, this might have been good, eliminate the time change eh? 

But yeah no such luck. 

I've managed to mute the really good vocal hey have you seen this atrocity today and have been able to scroll through the feed without to much panic. 

One of the facility users did manage to darken my mood with their absolute despair abd, I don't know, resignation, sometime just dark and infectiously depressing. Was not good. But, got through it. 

Am here, now. Major protests persist. And the meme about have you tried unplugging the USA and plugging it back in? Well that kind of feels like what's happening right now. Being unplugged... But unplugged and dismantled for scrap and that weird currency that starts with a c might be not quite the same. 

It's not easy being me. I had to ask my mother to stop bringing up this gov stuff. I can't have conversations yet, it seems. Even writing these handful of sentences are triggering a small rush. 

That said I'm getting better at this, and before long I'll be able to engage, I think, without losing my shit out having a full blown panic attack. 

Maybe. 

Dirt Church is up soon. Writing this might make me late but I needed to delay breakfast a few minutes ago here I am. 

Wasn't able to put air in the tires, so I cleaned the front valve core and that worked. Rear valve core was too gummed up in the middle, not cleanable. 

So I swapped it. 

Put air in both tires easily, finally. 

Checked them last night and both were flat. 

Fuck. 

Aired them up to 30... 

This morning, front has held, rear? Not so much. 

Tried to check for leaking, filled it up, checked seemed ok. Then fuck it. 

Tim the bike outside, took the rear wheel off and pulled out the soap spray. No bubbles anywhere. 

And there's still liquid sealant in there. 

Hmm. 

Also working outside barefoot is cold. 

Let's take a live look at the tire. It's been 30 min. Do we have bubbles anywhere? 

Nope. Well fuck. I dunno. Should hold for the ride. I would leave it parked here and ride the Stache but I still haven't reloaded the rear brake pads AND Tuesday is smackdown and we all know riding singlespeed on Sunday is not great for smackdown legs on Tuesday. 

Ok, time to eat quickly, get dressed and load up the car. 

Heddwch
