FTS increasing........
Cleaning & chores day. But first, coffee.
Another cold day here, -6°F. My oldest asked to go skiing. Sounds good to me! Hopefully it warms up a bit and by the time he's done with skiing there will be enough time and daylight for a ride on the fattie.
'Morning. I bailed on my run this morning on account of a sharp pain on the side of my shin and I was unable to run through it. Ruh roh. WTF...I am never injured, torn ACL's aside.
Stress fracture?
Buddy said he'd ride today, but now it's in that limbo time period where it's a 50/50 chance of him bailing. Deciding whether to say f-it and head out or wait longer.
Stouts are on order. Hopefully the one store still has those breakfast stouts.

wife is on her way to Mexico city for work, I slept in. Took the dogs for a stroll around the hood. Now it's time to break out the miter saw and do some base board work. I will ride this afternoon when it has warmed up a bit.
Chores around the house, cooked goulash in a pressure cooker, washed it down with a Czech lager, now I see some relaxing time ahead, and also oil change in fork damper and replacement of a few seals in the air spring. A solo ride around 3PM unless the beer overpowers me.
First section of baseboards repaired. I waited until I was sure that the rescue puppy had outgrown his destructo phase. Many more sections to go...
At work...on Sunday...so no bikies today. 
Tomorrow trails will be ridden, damn it !

Smacked my hand meat on a rock when I lost my front tire this AM. Glancing blow but gawd damn we will see how this goes...
Visited with the now slightly larger Stone family for a little bit today. Mrs. Stoney and the new addition are doing great.
You'd think its spring by this weather.

New Sony noise canceling cans >> old AT Technica noise canceling cans. I could legitimately forget that I was hurtling through the air in a giant tin can and get lost in my movie instead. Thai chicken salad was quite nice, too. I could get used to this.
Spring? We've had another cold day with below average temps for this time of the year. Bike was ridden, almost 9 miles on part ice part rocks and dirt trails. A lot of sinking frozen ground on singletrack though, that sucked.
Worked on the fork some more. Took apart the damper and found lots of oil in a (not so) dry compartment where the bladder sits so the bladder is likely shot. That obviously sucks, thanks Obama.

Good workout this morning. Five miles done on the new skis. They glide and float a lot better than I expected. One really good face plant when I went to slow as they grabbed snow friggin hard and I stopped way faster than I wanted to.
I just finished replacing the last of the doggie chewed base mouldings. Time to touch up the wall corners and paint

Rode my first double black diamond yesterday, la Milagrosa. Big eye opener for how ishty i still am at biking. Lot of hike-a-bike. Managed to fall down into a small ravine. Luckily no rattlers. Managed to twist my ankle really good, and can barely move my right arm. Was armored up, could have been worse!

I've ridden Milagrosa. RAD trail! I'm jealous that is in your backyard.

I think the Wed/Thurs storm is supposed to drop some powder for you.You'd think its spring by this weather.
You might have to be sick on Friday if you've not taken it off already.
