^ x2 re heated seats
Computrainer sufferfest delivered extra helping of pain this morning.
Kids still don't understand my lack of desire to drive them to school will always override my concern about them losing a limb to frostbite while riding their bikes. It's only 3mi FFS.
1st cup of coffee did fuck all, #2 better get it together as I'm out of beans.

Fuck heated seats. Coffee is consumed, more slinging a paintbrush today.
Hello, all you fine people of the internet! But enough of all that...time to find coffee.
feeding the dogs and drinking coffee. wet roads = stupid driver hell. Watched a BMW run a red yesterday and get T boned by a transit bus. What a mess...
Work.
Coffee.
Meh.
Meeting at 3pm today with the boss for my 2015 review. We'll see how that goes, I did miss one goal for the year, NBD. On the plus side, this does mean a field trip to the head office and I'll get to go home a little early.

Best of Banff Film Festival was pretty cool last night. Standout for me, as with every other time I've been, is Alex Honold. He's just such a cheery guy, it's contagious. it wasn't his feats of strength (first traverse of the Fitzroy range) that was amazing (though it was), it's just how funny and likeable he is. (sheesh, that sounds a lot like a man crush... whatever, I'm comfortable enough with my identity!)
cold here this morning. -11°F with the wind. and the wind was howling. made for an invigorating walk to daycare/work. Also, note to self, no metal earbuds when it's so cold out.
Contractor is in for what should be the last time. finishing the backsplash and putting up the range fan flue and finishing up some odds and ends (grout was flaky in new shower). It'll be nice when it's all done.
have a good day everyone, stay warm!

Mornin! 
No construction work today. Breakfast on the house.
this vid just came out today. i haven't gotten much done this morning because i've watched it about 34 times. love dat pisgah.
My... such a delicate flower.
You planning to find Anakin?Got skates? Ice ishtshow here!

Another??
This may be beyond just a delicate flower. You mentioned heateds steering wheel and used the word "glorious"... man card revocation in progress.
New jorb verbally accepted. Must work on exit-strategy now. Strangely it has more calculating than you'd imagine...
No way, heated seats are the bee's knees and I wouldn't NOT have them.
My go-to rental during my Vegas project had air cooled seats too.
Congrats! I suggest a start date of around May 1st, so you can ski your face off this season.
Ana-who?
I am planning to find out whether non-dentist bikes are as unrideabru as the $$$ crabon ones. 
Congrats! Upper-decker planning in progress now? I updated my resume last night because a head hunter called with a crazy yet interesting opportunity. I don't think it is going to go far but better be ready when the right one shows up.
A bad backs best friend after the 'shed.Another??
Use it all year, just wish I could turn off the seat bottom to prevent overcooking the undercarriage.
e: Congrats on job change but I suggest you follow nicks timeline advice.

No heated seats on the bike but still a glorious ride to work. Forgot my wallet at home. I feel naked.
It is indeed glorious. Some day you will know this nirvana. My motorized window shades are pretty sweet, too, btw.
Some day, once we have furniture and no boxes and the like, I'll invite the Denver monkey crew out to ogle them and dine.1/3 FTE with lots of skiing time written into the schedule?
Wifes new car has heated seats. While I certainly enjoy the novelty on a cold morning, especially when my busted pelvis and leg are acting up, I do not look forward to the day when "Hey, I don't think my seat heaters are working, can you take a look at them?". I chase enough wires at work.
Up late last night at a concert. The mosh pit was a bit rowdy, I kept my distance. hahahahah Tired today and have to be on my game.
Since the wife no workee... not gonna be able to go Full Retard like that. But I anticipate taking at *least* 3 weeks off to ski my face off.
Not quite, but more pay, more vacation, AND WfH is apparently not opposed by the director. My mgr will be in Connecticut and my colleague is in AZ... so yeah.
"Offsite" meeting time with co-workersenablers...surely I think better with a stout in hand, no?
Afternoon Monkeys.
I am trying to not thing about a jorb change, but it is tough when the hand I am dealt is full of crap. I have a little time before my current contract is up for renewal, but the work load sucks ass and so does the bennies. Since it is still early in the new year, the market hasn't gotten too crazy yet. But there are some interesting gigs in the works.
Anybody know if the CIA is cool with shed visits yet?
The one major issue I see with the job description is the salary range seems kinda big. ($65k swing?)

You didn't buy another Subaru right? You should be good.

I am a fan of my heated seats. It actually makes a huge difference when I jump into my car and its still cold. Instant butt/back heat, while the rest of the car warms up.
Only down side is that the high setting is pretty much not useable....unless you like it so hot that it feels like you pissed yourself, followed by a mild burning sensation.
They've been saying it for a while, but have yet to take (public) action. There was talk in the black hat community that some departments were talking about using designated pissers (Bob from accounting isn't hip, he can totally piss clean for you).
Have heated seats in the Subaru. Think they may have been used twice since 1997.
Full disclosure: have never owned a vehicle with leather seats... so maybe that matters.

The slackness has been strong today.
I will say the Cadillac DTS seats I had for my truck were both heated AND cooled leather. It was tied into the climate controls that I never used and didn't get around to making my own. It was a bad ass feature, I did get the messaging lumbar working.
Uh huh, I'm sure that's why you watched it 34 times.
Pulled a rib muscle. Hurts pretty bad. Bounced off a tree on a icy patch. That little emergency correction to avoid disaster did it. Just ouch. Hardtails with poorly tuned front suspension. Just don't get it.... 29'rs also. A fine Sativa strain and a hot shower fixes that...

I like clipless pedals more then flats. Thats just me. Feel free to have your own preference.
I ordered up "in home appliance moving, including stairs" help on Amazon. The dude knew that it was a washer and dryer to be moved, yet he showed up by himself, with jack squat in the way of tools, appliance dollies, etc. Through my tools (including hand truck and tie downs) and lots of sweat and blood we got the washer and dryer upstairs and installed without doing too much damage to anything along the way. (With regard to "we", I thought I was hiring someone to do my dirty work, not volunteering to do it myself!)
I still tipped him since I'm a good guy but I'm definitely not hiring him for anything in the future! (And since I'm not entirely a good guy I filed a Happiness Guarantee claim with Amazon.)
