Happy whatever day, dudes and dudettes!

We got dumped on with snow up here. Went for a hike. I wish I could describe how hard the wind is blowing...

Wifey made enough breakfast for 12 people. There are 3 adults here. Haley got 3 billion presents. I got 3. We made Wifey a pop up card from Haley, which was awesome. She got a Wonder Woman dress that she is intending to climb in, like Jesse Graff from American Ninja Warrior. She's kind of a badass. Lots of STEM gifts, so far this is her favorite:

I got a bunch of spices, a bag of these tiny tiny shrimps and 10 lbs of sausage from my favorite Butcher in Erie PA for Christmas. So I decided to make Rice and Beans in the slow cooker. Haha I see what they did. Get Jim food so he will make it for us.... Kind of wish I had another can of tomatoes. Oh well I got beer and food and tomato paste. I am not going anywhere. Happy Happy everyone...

Barely slept at all last night due to this cold. I was alternatively burning hot or shivering uncontrollably, and it hurt like a sonofabitch to swallow. Up now, with a massive coffee withdrawal headache. Better go tend to that.

Merry Christmas to you all, I hope you all feel better than I do!
I’m in the same damn boat. Not enough whiskey eggnog to help. Dammit. Hope I feel better when Our Canadian monkeys show up to ride in 4 days. Merry Christmas fellow monkeys.

Merry Christmas, I think. I don't know...the time stamp on this thread is fucked. Wife and I skied Mount Snow today. 10-12" of fresh snow...certainly the whitest Christmas I've ever experienced, and the mountain was empty. Wife and I made fresh tracks every run we took. At one point we ducked into the trees and I stopped at an opening, looked down the tree lines, and there was completely untouched powder in every direction. I thought "You've got be fucking kidding me with this." Untouched snow and it was all ours. We need more days like that.

That's pretty much everyday (not 10-12" everyday, but fresh and generally empty) in the backcountry here. With your fitness level, you would LOVE it.

At my gate. It’ll be after midnight local time before I land, and then 5 hours of sleep before heading off to work if all goes smoothly.
