️️happy Friday you apes️

Up early. Slept like shit: wife all mopey and mad at me last night for trivial things (she’s sad in general because kid 3 is harder to spawn than 1 and 2 since we are old, so her response is to get mad at me for things like opening the mail before sitting down at the dinner table), Yuna up twice overnight, once with a fever that was no doubt the cause for both episodes, and now my brain decided to wake up in its own version of Fuck You Friday.
On the upside I have an 8-9 meeting but other than that am not on service, so will chill the rest of the day at home before driving to Breckenridge this evening.

Slept like a brick last night.. we went out for mexican food which led to a 45 minute spin session on the trainer to burn it off followed by a hot shower. something tells me my route is going to get slammed today.
32* and windy this morning. Espresso and oatmeal seems like a reasonable way to get things started

Any connection there?
30F and a bit of snow on the ground. Another meh day in the salt mine on tap.
We are all headed up. Rented a condo for the night.Any connection there?

I've been hearing this from a lot of people lately.
Good Morning!!
Another warm day here in NC...completely upping the chances we'll get a massive snowstorm somewhere in late March just when we're all wearing shorts again.
I'm overwhelmed at work. The majority of us here are - they take the amount of projects that one human can possibly handle in one month, and then double that number. Nobody dares not complain for fear of being immediately replaced. The cycle continues, and we all walk around the office like zombies. My 18-year old self would kick me square in the grapes for my life choices...

Supposed to drop a bunch more inches of the white stuff this afternoon during rush hour period. News reports from yesterday suggested a shitshow during the evening commute due to the heavy snow fall near us. Watch out on that drive @Toshi
Riding yesterday afternoon was ~50 minutes to do a 3 mile loop as speeds were so low in the fresh deep snow, but we had a blast.

Mornin!
I found out yesterday that I'm not alone in my pure, unadulterated hatred for someone here at work who is an insufferable, condescending, holier-than-thou cunt. It was nice to have someone to commiserate with.

Go visit before all the punchable startup people fleeing London overflow it. It's like New York but safer, MUCH cheaper and more punk (or however you define counterculture). You get 3 day non stop raves that serve Ice-cream at 3 o clock, great food, amazing breweries, great regular fancy culture and a huge variety of people from eco freaks living on Kombucha and and Kale to 5 story brothels and drugs on demand. Add to that a strong coffee scene (Though honestly Warsaw is the best coffee city in Europe right now just because everyone cares). Also if you are into art then this is the city to be. Plus contrary to popular belief German Girls are not bad looking.I've been hearing this from a lot of people lately.
@StiHacka hit me up if you decide to go one day. I know a few locals. Cooks, bloggers, coffee roasters etc so I can give you some suggestions depending on what you want to do there. Be it a mellow trip or doing something crazy. I'm going with GF and friends so probably some speakeasies, some food and art (there is this great bunker run by art collectors) and maybe finding one really stupid party.
Hello! Here comes the warm temperatures and rain again.
This week has been fuckin' crazy. We are elbows deep in upgrading our ERP system to a more less ancient version and in the same swoop moving from ye 'ole server 2003. And there is no easy way to automate removing the old software and install the new version on our client computers, so guess what I get to do Sunday afternoon?! Hit the shed and manually change them. I've told everyone to leave their computers on over the weekend, whoever doesn't follow that instruction is going right to the bottom of the totem pole for support on Monday.
Anyways, hell yeah its beering Friday. Will go for a mud hike tonight or maybe a donkey bike ride if the temperature isn't hovering around freezing.

Today is my last day at this job. I should be out after lunch. I'm going to go home and take my pants off.
Thank you for the offer. I haven't been to yurp for 4 years and when I go, I'll likely feel guilty if I won't be spending 100% of my time with my family but I'll hit you up if the opportunity arises!
Here. Had to wake up early to feed Hannah because Wifey had a super early morning work event. Planning on taking Haley skiing tomorrow, so off to the ski shop today for the cheapest rental possible.
Still putting together a new budget going forward factoring daycare. Wifey was not happy with the extent of what she saw when she came home last night. I don't think it will get better.

Sure. There are some fun spots for families too. While Berlin is the best for single people or at least people who can drag their friends around the city there are still awesome spots for families. It's best to go in the summer since some stuff is only open then.
Why wait until you're home to take them off? Go out in style by doing the helicopter on your desk.
Internet went out right before I was about to start work this morning.
Browsing on my phone it is then.

I love me a good commiseration.....
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE WINGDINGS, YOU HACK?!?!?
Oh god, my legs.......
Hey Ski monkeys, any preferences on a backcountry beacon? I guess this is the direction my skiing is taking.
Woman-childs 10th birthday party tonight. Imma need another espresso.

I have a BCA 2 as a spare. Just sayin' ....
It works sometimes
this morning while getting my son up, he points at the tattoo on my upper chest and says "you have a bird on your tummy"
First time i've ever skied it. Giggled like a school girl. Powder was waist deep, but sweet baby Jesus does that hike suck. Very next lift I rode with ski patrol. He said beacons weren't "required", but were "highly recommended". He said "highly recommended" in a way that seemed "required". Since I was by myself yesterday, I opted to not do it again. Though, I also asked him why Curecanti was closed and he said it was supposed to be open. I said "sign says it's closed". He told me if I wanted, to ski over, flip the sign and to take first run. So I did, and it was rad.Mirkwood

Tell me more about your intentions with this beacon.....
edit: I really want to pony up for a day of cat skiing.....

Arizona is going through another hissy fit. Its been cold all week, rode this morning started at 38 Freedom units. Trails were saturated with water, but not enough to be muddy, just nice and sticky. Cows have been stomping all over the trails though creating decent sized holes... jerks.
"highly recommended" = makes body recovery easier?
I have a friend from College who lives in Boulder and does TONS of backcountry / off piste riding. I can ask her about beacons if you want. She and some of her friends just ponied up for a day of heli riding a few weeks ago.
