Then don't not do it?
Morning. It looks like the weather forecast completely missed the mark. Instead of rain, we got ice pellets. Instead of 40F, it is 26F out there. They are still saying we get 8-14" of snow tomorrow.
False news was pioneered by Trump supporting meteorologists... true fact from Huffington Post.Then don't not do it?

Nothing new or exciting for me today but I have decided on my next toy of the month, it will be an ipod swim with fancy earphones. I am not a fan of Apple but there is apparently no competing product that even comes close. So much for fighting the power with my wimpy one man boycott.
Why good morning fellow primates.
Played auto mechanic last night and replaced the thermostat and lost coolant in the wife's car. Get to continue playing auto mechanic and replace the wheel bearing in her car as well. She's a lucky woman.

The 5-8" of snow we were supposed to get turned into about 3" and some ice. They are saying that we are on track to get some moar tomorrow. I would like that. Riding bikes in the winter is fun, but I also like to do winter sports as well.
Do Wheel bearings require shims?
No, but I was going to put some in there just in case.
coffee was strong this morning but still no motivation to head off to work.
Yesterday's 'best day of the year' type of snow (at Snow King) turned into rain last night. Teton Village closed due to blown down power lines. Gonna work on the fat bike this am...
Balls. Monarch got 13" overnight. Forecast was for 2-4. Had I but known......
So instead of going skiing I'll be doing the usual household duties. Probably work in a run somewhere around mid-day. Supposed to be freaky warm today, maybe I'll ride a bike instead?.
Can't be too careful.
Morning Monkeys.
Strange to think of my '92 Silverado as being close to "vintage". Replaced the tail light circuits last night, fire it up, hit the lights, nothing. Push the brake pedal, I have brake lights, no running lights. Hit the brakes a few more times and Tada!
I am guessing there is a ground or short issue somewhere, but they worked today!
@Adventurous I still need to do all 4 wheel bearing hubs and all 8 ball joints on my wreck. I decided I won't replace all the various rod ends at this point and when I take it to get aligned, I will see what they think. Kinda cool how they used the same spindle hub front and rear so the parts are the same front and rear (minus steering rods).

In Vancouver for a conference
Jet lag sucks. Looking forward to to mind melting sushi tonight over dinner with my buddy.

Trying to figure out what to do now that it's gonna RAIN at all the ski resorts for the next couple days. 
My daily commute.
Get a wider ski?Trying to figure out what to do now that it's gonna RAIN at all the ski resorts for the next couple days.
Fixed that for you.
Woke up this morning and attempted to take a shower. Very little water was coming out of the faucet or shower head. Opened the access panel for the pipes for the shower and there was water sprayed all over. Luckily when the water to the shower is turned off it seems that no water is leaking out. However, because of the amount of water that did come out now we have a bunch of dripping water spots in the kitchen ceiling on the 1st floor. Called the insurance company and they're sending out someone this afternoon to assess the damage and repairs. Thank goodness for home owners insurance.
So yeah, today has sucked so far. Happy hump day.

hot tub?Trying to figure out what to do now that it's gonna RAIN at all the ski resorts for the next couple days.
That's a given.
shims.com, heh
Thousands of uses!
I took Mariko to her 4 year well visit. 5th percentile weight, 10th percentile height. She seems to be doing ok, and didn't like shots as would be expected ("4 shots for being 4 years old!" "meh").
Whine a lot, I suspect...Trying to figure out what to do now that it's gonna RAIN at all the ski resorts for the next couple days.
For riding shoes to go with flat pedals, are five tens the way to go? does anyone else ride other shoes?
East coast style skiing in your future now? It will eventually freeze, right?Fixed that for you.
I have honestly never tried five tens, I wear skate shoes. Van's mostly. But all I run are flats.
Five Tens are great.
Also check out the specialized 2FO.
edit: as a kid growing up riding in vans, the biggest difference is the stickier rubber and the stiffness in modern mtb shoes.
That looks a lot like the last part of mine. Naito pkwy has a lot of outdoorsmen under the various bridges.
Per @Nick I was told that 5-10 is the way to go still.
This. The sticky soles are VERY nice for flats/pins.
Maybe... although we generally get moar snow that covers the wet snow before it turns to ice. I've been skiing out here since the early 90's and have never seen "real" ice. At least not your Eastern quality ice. You guys would laugh at what we consider "icy" out there.East coast style skiing in your future now? It will eventually freeze, right?
are there actually other options?
I know I'm old but for flats there is just no better sole than the traditional Vans. I've also never found a pair of five tens in my size.
@6thElement 's wife told me she loves her 2FO shoes.
Passed a Homeless Veteran asking for change on my way to lunch. I bought him some lunch when I got mine and thanked him for his service.
