Much like the Oroville dam I am overflowing with agitation and am about to lose my ability to contain it.

After shoveling the 24" of snow we got yesterday, I am starting to think buying a fat bike over a snow blower wasn't the best idea this year. Nah, totally worth it. 12" more tomorrow. Gonna need to go make some turns on the snowboard this weekend for sure.
Clipped a pedal causing high speed stem shagging and took a proper slam yesterday. Literally cut a swath through a berm with my ass/flank/hip and ragged down a hill. My ass may never be the same--otherwise just cuts and bruises.
The bike is fine though

Well the MIL has a new hip joint....wishing for a fast recovery so that she does not come live with us.
Hanging out drinking coffee and scratching Jake the wonder dogs head before I head out to spend another day driving the short bus.

Tuesday.
I love giving people instructions, only to have them say "yo dawg, it didn't workz". To which I ask, "did you follow the instructions?". Usually the answer is nope. That's the quickest way onto a certain kill list.
Still without a door access card here at work, so no inter-office traveling for me. Luckily the coffee machine and pooper don't require a card to get to them.

Hut trip this weekend and it looks like a storm is on tap to put some fresh snow down Fri-Tues. This could be good for the skiing and not good for the avalanche conditions. Fortunately we have a pretty right-side up snowpack in Colorado this year, but it's still Colorado (which is usually a fairly unstable continental snowpack with lots of weak layers) so I'm not, not nervous. Time to read the avy report daily until we leave...
Happy VD, fvckers.

Happy VD, fvckers, indeed! 
We're experiencing a modest temperature drop following the warm storm. All slush and standing water have been turned into ice which makes for some interesting commuting moments - especially in Boston where they have not bothered with cleaning many of the sidewalks and pedestrian crossings. Snow riding should be good now though, I shall test ASAP.

Valentines night ride on Butter Gap planned with Mrs. Dirtrider for this evening. Then Thai takeout. Coffee about to kick in....T-minus 3.2.

Morning Monkeys.
Totally spaced the Hallmark Holiday this morning and was on the bus by the time I figured it out. Good thing the wifey knows I am not that guy. I do nice sh!t all day most every day, so no need for flowers and candy on some arbitrary day.
Weather is still somewhat nice until tomorrow. Coffee is weak, this is what I get for riding the bus.

Rather than flowers, I hung out with both kids after one woke up the other at 430am which allowed the wife to sleep in. I will still acquire flowers but pretty sure that will just give me bonus points to count against my next thoughtless screw up...
Trade you a 2012-ish Boxxer for it... Even Steven unless you wanna throw in a 6'er of some quality barley pop.
how old is she now?
easton havoc carbon 31.8 blk/wht, easton scandium dh 25.4 silver, deity dirty30 hi-rise 31.8 blue
thomson stem 50mm 25.4 blk
She'll be 2 in April. I actually got her to sleep peacefully by laying by her until she passed out. If I am there or Jessica is there she doesn't cry or call for us. She slept from 7:30-11:30 then woke up, didn't scream or say anything, opened her door, walked to our door, and opened it to come to me.
Baby just wants to spend time with me, all the time. Changing the doorknob would just make her mad, like the gate. Hopefully this phase will pass, but in the meantime she is a nice, warm baby bundle to snuggle with. I'll deal with my own irregular sleep.
width? how much would you want for it?
Tired. Bored. Worn out. Over this shit.
On a positive note, I've been anchored to an inside sales position because Wifey travels a ton for work. She probably won't be travelling as much going forward, so I can look at options that don't include 100% office time. I have a meeting with the director of field reps and field rep training tomorrow. He's been pushing that he needs to hire a new rep for the field and somebody to train the existing field reps. I am comfortably qualified (if not overly so) for that role, but haven't been able to take advantage because of her travel. We'll see where this goes, but it would be a nice bump in pay most likely.

jesus man. idk what i'd do if my kid slept like that. he sleeps rock solid, bedtime is 7:30 - 8, usually wakes up between 6:30 and 7. he's slept through the night since like 2 months. the last time he had issues sleeping (which was only trouble falling asleep & waking up earlier than usual) was when we transitioned him to a toddler bed.
I've been thinking about that loop lately. The dirt road climb up isn't bad at all (compared to Clawhammer). And someone told me about a section of unmarked singletrack that starts off to the right at a gate and descends along the road to the Butter parking lot.
And since it's before April 15 you can bomb down Cat Gap and gap over the boulder off the ledge drop.
Braaap!
Morning Monkies! Wishing you all some very intense VD moments later in the day.
7 miles on the treadmill and 600 meters in the pool. Weather is beautiful at 55, sunny with 10 MPH winds. After breakfast I am going to pump up a road bike for a 20 mile spin this afternoon. Yesterday's mud fest will not be repeated.

First off, KILL LIST. My little ones are just like @Toshi 's babies (FML). You should never again share the details of your angelic child in public.
Second, I hope you realize that because of your aberrantly somnolent first born your upcoming addition will undoubtedly lay waste to your obliviously well rested existence. No one gets two angel babies, not even RM cool guys.
