Still waiting for packages, currently a week delayed with all the big 3 couriers.
Lonely and misunderstood?
It's cold here today. -12C. Have to take kids to ski practice. My back seems to be acting up again. Wtf, why does it happen on weekends?!
Thankfully my wife has embraced my curmudgeon and we don't decorate or have to do anything special on "holidays".
The to-do list isn't shrinking:
The to-do list isn't shrinking:
- fit winter wheels and bleed brakes on the car
- change oil in the snow blower
- fit the new thermocouples I bought to the camper stove to see if that fixes it
I've been tasked with retrieving the Christmas crap from the crawl space today. Woman-child has rehearsal this afternoon.
Bah, humbug.
how does this dog hair get everywhere 
Hung some festivus lights while waiting for UPS. lost motivation after one strand.
Looks like we have killed the doggie ear mite infestation, no more bloody residue. Another week of ear drops twice a day to go. Today I get to spray the bedding again.
But first Espresso, yard work and then off to the park to work on learning how to effectively cast my new fly rod

I was gonna hit a quick singlespeed ride for platano breakfast, but made instead made it a lazy morning while the girls are out on a sea turtle release, since I have to take the mutt to Dog School at 10.
Did some tinkering and tried to upsize the 26" hoops on my (STI's, really, in the hearts of RM I'm sure) Canfield. But turns out I have the wrong rear axle kit for the Stan's 330HD hub, so I guess that's a future-me issue. Till then I apparently have a mini mullet, riding on my 2005 Marzo 888...turns out it will clear a 27.5 at the arch and also under the (aftermarket, go-ride.com flat) crowns under compression.

naw after drinking they go outside for a game of Tug o war until they pass out
Greetings, gents. Gorgeous day here, think I'll pull down the blinds and eat oxy every four hours. Sieze the day, I say!
It's gymnastics meet day! It's been SO long since we have been able to have an in person meet with spectators (limited but they can come). Extra coffee in hand and ready to get these girls back to competing! Alex is a level 3 now and Syd is a level 8 and a coach so it's going to be a long day for the 3 of us (I run the home meets for our gym so I'll be there scoring and handing our awards and of course feeding the judges and coaches). Can't wait to see the new routines and skills these girls have!
Teh Spousal Unit™ is on call today, so she gets to stick close to the house. I'm going to pedal my bike for a few hours, and that won't suck. Otherwise, finally going through all of our wedding photos from the photographer and selecting favorites so that the photographer can build us our fancy photo album. There are over a thousand pictures from the day, I think this one really captures the essence of our wedding and marriage so far:
What happened to you again? Surgery or some such nonsense?
ugh, back pain is back again in full force. wtf - why does this happen on weekends?
also, first real snow of the year is falling here. driving the kids to ski practice, it was white-out conditions. but dumb-asses are not driving like it. the drive back from the ski place took 2x as long as usual (40 vs. 20 minutes) but I still saw two accidents and a number of close calls. people driving too close, and cutting other cars off to merge.

Elective surgery to fix an old problem that was really holding me back. Should be on the indoor trainer by next week, though.
Great pic of you two!
'Morning! Been a day full o' chores so far, but I'll head out for a run once my lunch digests a bit. Got to Costco when they opened this morning and it was surprisingly quiet, but the place was hopping by the time we got out of there. My highlight of that trip was picking up a bag of Ghirardelli squares.
Looking good! This bike will survive WW3 and maybe even the Chinese takeover of the world.
State Police called. They found my Bike. The Bridgestone lives on.... No damage found so far....
What happened to your Bridgestone ?
Lent it to my buddy when he showed up drunk at my house at 1:am. He went back to the bar with it. No lock and a patron took it at closing time. The thief took it back to the bar the next night. A attentive bouncer spotted it and told a passing Cop. Drunky drunkington left his car at the bar and it got towed. He blamed that on me to his wife.
First dirt ride since fukkering myself back in September. I should probably do some more dirt riding...
I might have some time to go riding during the week next week, if GBS gets done with it on Tuesday as promised (regular tune and true + new tire time)
Spent the day raking leaves, then a short rugged ride before the sunset. Now my watch is telling me to rest for 36 hours, da fuq?
why yes, yes you should.
wife under the weather from booster. me under the weather from some sort of non covid virus. 16yo being argumentative. le ugh. put xmas light balls up in the front. thank the fsm that's over.
It's because you're old.
I still haven't tackled anything on my to-do list but had a good ride with wifey at a local spot we don't hit too often.
Wife was at Costco today, so we wound up with new Xmas lights for the house. The bigger fancy monocle kind.
Evening. Busy day of exploring in Pisgah. Rode some stuff I’ve never been on. Now time for whiskey.
Wifey’s hot friend texted “How would you like a harem to come over with dinner?”
Well sure!

1/2 disappointed?
ahhh…reality

There's a place across the street from a local Flow Easy™ trail system that has a chicken dish that's deep fried and covered in a spicy peanut sauce. The chicken chunks are extra crispy and don't get soggy at all. I dip each piece in Nam Prik Nam Pla. One of my favorite dishes, but haven't been in years.
Harvested some Lemons, practiced casting with new fly rod, went and bought more streamer flies, Ate, hung more Festivus Lights. Packed my fishing gear into the car. Load the Kayaks in the AM
