you see that new All City Cosmic Stallion or whatever yesterday?

today i woke up to my neighbors 40ft pecan tree falling into my house and girlfriends car.

i've known about it for a while now- just not able to say anything about it....embargo and all. cool bike and paint job.

^How bad is the house? Everyone OK?

The external/internal cable routing capability caught my attention. Nice details for sure.

gutter is warped. car is trashed- windshield, hood, roof....it took most of the damage. everyone is ok...power company is here now getting everything hooked back up.
it was quite the noise at 7am this morning!

Bummer. Just curious about the laws there regarding insurance. Who covers that?

we'll see. neighbors insurance says they won't cover it because there was no property damage on her side. they won't even let her file a claim. she tried. so it's on my insurance company now to fight for me.

Interesting, and that sucks. I asked because last winter I discovered that Idaho law is lame too. A neighbor had a big pine fall and it crushed the (my) fence that borders our yards. The law says it's on me no matter where the tree came from. Even if his tree crushed my house, it's on me. Stupid.

Good luck with that [MENTION=112127]johnnytheboy[/MENTION]. Hate how slippery insurance companies can be when something actually goes wrong.

Cosmic Stallion looks very cool. Would ride.

I should probably put the chain and chainring back on my Steamroller.

If the tree falls on your property then the firewood is yours.

So are the hours of labor, splitting, cleanup, waste removal, stacking.................

yeah but that's good work!

today has been a long day. home and auto insurance claims have been filed. all on us. pretty much every law in every state says that a tree that falls into your house and/or car is YOUR problem, not the person that owns the tree. unless it was neglected and needed to be cut down (which this pecan tree was in good shape) i am liable for any damages caused. total bull**** but that's the way it goes. knows what's even more bull****? the same laws state that the pecans that grew on it- even on branches that were clearly on my property- belong to the neighbor because that's where the trunk is. trunk = ownership.....unless the tree caused damage to anyone else's property. there's a 14" hole in my roof, my gf's car is smashed and i'm about to be out a bunch of money for deductible(s).
i also drove my car for the first time in 8 months today....i'm about to go ride. see y'all later.

on the plus side, i just hit my 9th month of sobriety. kinda feel like having a drink.

Stay strong man. You got this

5 miles into my ride the sky opens up and absolutely pours on me for the remainder of my loop.

Today is just abusing you man. Just a few hours until it's tomorrow. Hang in there.

Meanwhile, I LOVED riding to work in the rain this morning. Sorry to hear about the tree, and the car, and the roof, and...

I need these socks to go with my new bike.

tough luck [MENTION=112127]johnnytheboy[/MENTION] - when it rains, it pours! Sounds like you're not too bummed about it though.

Today I went out and did 22 miles. Couldn't really do much because it was hot as a ***** and I was dripping sweat like I just got out of the shower the whole time and all my water turned hot after like half an hour. Needed to ride these new tires though.

I just need to ride more..

I hear ya!

Between a vacation last F-M, being busier than ever at work and having to pack up and move, I've barely ridden the past two weeks. Next two should be somewhat similar and then I'll finally be able to get back on the grind.

i have learned one thing in my 35 years. the earth does not stop turning. no matter what.
