We got rain and it's continuing.
Had a dream this morning about getting into a series of minor traffic accidents, than woke up with The Teddy Bear's Picnic as a brain worm, which continues. It's going to be an off kilter day.

Morning Monkies! Not so hurty today, loves me some opiates. Ordered a 3 axis gimbal last night, shipping choices were $35 expidited or Free UPS Ground. I went with free. I roll that way. 
Sore back this morning. Coffee and advils for breakfast.

dogs fed, coffee is brewing, most of the discomfort from fridays crash is gone with the exception of the lower left side of my back and even that isn't bad. tonight is supposed to be clear with no wind so riding it is.
Food poisoning.

Mornin!
Got crazy last night and started winterizing the sprinkler system. It's a bit of a pain in the dick with only a 2.5 gallon pancake compressor to try and clear things. I shall be back at it again last night seeing as how snow is in the forecast for tomorrow. Hopefully that will lead to primo dirt this weekend.

Where/how are you going to mount that gimbal?Morning Monkies! Not so hurty today, loves me some opiates. Ordered a 3 axis gimbal last night, shipping choices were $35 expidited or Free UPS Ground. I went with free. I roll that way.
HEY NOW THEN! I treadmilled before work, basically so I could monitor the hamstring and bail if necessary without having to walk back to the car/home. Happy that the hammy felt fine while pushing the effort hard (45 minute workout, with 4 x 5 minutes at 6:20 pace...got the heart rate into the 180's). Now my legs are tired. I also have to poop, but I think that is unrelated.
Woke up at midnight to drop a deuce. wtf is that?! then when I got downstairs this morning, I see that cereal has been poured into my 3 y.o.'s bowl... when I ask how that happens he said he did it. I asked when, and he said during the night! I find it hard to believe that he woke up in the night, went downstairs, poured himself cereal, then went back to bed, all on his own, without at least trying to wake me up.... but it seems like the only possible explanation!
Also seems you guys have him hooked on Pink Lady apples. I picked some up for him, and he really liked them. Now he asks for them by name. I get weird looks at daycare when my son asks if I brought him a pink lady when I pick him up. I have to explain its a kind of apple. :/
In the 70s my grandfather raced a stock car called the pink lady complete with a naked lady painted on the trunk.
Morning Monkeys.
As slow as this week is going, the month has flown by. The wife reminded me that it was Thanksgiving next week, I thought I had like 2 more weeks. Looks like the car will not be fixed in time to take for the trip (all I asked for was a free weekend with little to no projected rain, I got none of that).
We agreed not to get each other gifts this year, but we are getting things for us. Likely a TV for me and a vacuum for her. I may also get an air fryer since she hates the way the oil fryer makes the house smell. But we need to get rid of crap before we can decide to downsize.

Another great fall day in NYC and we will hit 60s. Thank you Trump.
The leg bone's connected to the... poop bone.
It felt unseasonably warm on the ride in today. 80 later. Some of that sensation probably arises from multiple days worth of grunge accumulated on my skin. I don't believe that I have showered since Sunday?
Pink Ladies are the best!
Rode straight from the AirBnB yesterday, Sedona continues to impress. Finished our ride with a descent down Scorpion to Pyramid... that had some sporty sections for sure. Steep, loose, with fun ledge drops and tight turns.
The only non-fun part was coming up on the dude with two big ass Rottweilers, one of which was off-leash. Fortunately the one that is scared of (i.e. hates and attacks) bicycles was the one he had on-leash. I stopped up pretty far away from them, but the aggressive dog (a female) was not having it, barking loudly and aggressively jumping and lunging up. The owner wasn't that big of a guy and at the time I thought it was odd he didn't have both dogs on-leash, but in hindsight I'm glad he only had the one to control. She was a handful, for sure.
The one off-leash was a pretty big male, and when he saw me coming he got a big ol' smile on his face and bounded away from me a few steps, then turned to look at me like "Hey Buddy, I know how this works. That thing you're on is fun for me to chase after... so get on it!" I tried to slowly roll past them a couple times, but the male kept bounding down the trail, then looking at me with that big smile, a tongue wagging out, and "play" in his eyes. Super friendly, thank goodness.
Finally I asked the guy to call the male back, he tied the female (still barking and freaking out) off to a tree and put the other one on leash. He then proceeded to chat me up about my bike, and the trail, and whatever. He's new to Sedona from NY, had the accent to prove it. And really I just wanted away from him and his dang dogs... kooks man I tell you what.
At any rate, Scorpion to Pyramid: 8/10 would bang again.

Good and bad day. Feel like shit this morning. Sore throat, aching. Called in to work. But on the plus side, booked two weeks in Whistler for the family this July. Can't beat round trip flight for 4 for $700. Paid another $600 for a mini van for two weeks. Beats trying to figure out shuttles from and to the airport, especially with the bike. Just need to pick out a condo.
Really curious to see how you like it. Been looking at them.

7 mile run this morning. Dogs walked and laundry in the washer. I'll probably continue to be Mr. Domestic until such time as I need to head up to Denver to drink beer and buy skis from @Nick.
This is my third marriage, I am well aware.
Last year I got her the camera she so badly wanted (and has literally used it for 1 picture). With the idea that we are downsizing be A LOT, purchasing new crap is on hold in general. But I do have a plan.
Finished the cesspool project. Sore. Beer thirty approacheth.
Nostradumbass prediction: Precisely NONE of this snow will stick to the roads.Who now looks strangely prescient for getting the snow tires on two weeks ago? Huh huh?
snow 
I dug yesterday for 6 hours in total powdery silt ... bring the snow/rain in full force.
Yes, there is snow.
I want some fuckin snow. Hook a brother up.
You can't have any. It's all OURS.
