Holy shit LOLOL!

I am looking at my wall calendar in my cubicle right now and I see it is still on March. :think: I mean at this point why bother changing it?


I got up early and ran 5 miles. It was 40 degrees and raining hard. Not a fun experience, but I got it done. Have to get in the hot shower ASAP after runs like that before I start to freeze.

I just woke up early again. I was supposed to do something. I think I was going to give somebody a ride or something. I can't remember... And now I find out it is officially winter. Fuckity fuck.

Frozen tundra this morning, brrr. Picking up the RV range at lunch, drinks with friends tonight, then deconstruction on the truck and maybe brakes if the weather doesn't suck.

I keep forgetting to stop by the shop for a star nut.

new or used?
I had 188 OGs for years, LOVED them, sold them, bought 192s which I now think I'm gonna sell without even drilling. :hmm:
No idea what the width on those is, but if it’s anywhere close to the 123mm my Bent Chetlers are... then I can assure you that that’s a lot of ski.

You're going to work for 45 minutes? What the fuck is the point?

Long week and shitty night, might just bail on work/adulting and ski today instead.


Tell us a story, Uncle Stoney!! :D

So I shifted what dates I was looking at for doing the White Rim... and found departing one day earlier meant campsites are available that allow for a super-reasonable itinerary. So FKNA, that's what we're doing. Ride days are Thu-Fri-Sat with 25-45-30 mileage. Since day 1 is shorter I think we'll just combine travel from Denver to Mojab with riding on Day 1, which is fine I think. And then we get Sunday and Monday to ride bikes in standard Mojab... with Monday being my traditional birthday ride down Porcupine Rim.

CC: @6thElement and @johnbryanpeters and really anyone else that might have White Rim on their bucket list...

Blessed Yule. Video chatted with my nephews last as it was one of their birthdays, The other ones birthday is in 5 days. Readying to leave, just have to get past work today, which should be a short day.

What actual dates are we talking about? I regret to say I don't have your birthdate memorized :(
