Rain and cold. This morning is the first time in recent memory I've woken up entirely on my own.

Coffee and chores. Riding something somewhere today, maybe start tuning waaay too many pair of skis later.
Thai food for dinner, tom kha and pineapple fried ride.
plenty of leftovers too. No drinks = slept well.

Crap for remodel starting to come in. Looks like I'm losing my spot in the garage for a while.
Up at 5:30 to walk the dogs then set up the med tent. That done I made scrambled eggs with linguisa and Habanero sauce to go along with my double espresso. Horse show runs 8 to 5 today and tomorrow.
Cold, rainy and windy crap outside. House chores are on the menu today.
Rain and cold here today too so I picked up my race number for tomorrow, bought a microwave and been cleaning up and fixing stuff around the house. Something nice about the simplicity of cleaning after a hectic week at work.
Hello monkeys! Its a bit chilly this morning but will warm up enough to ride this afternoon. Researching my irrational urge to get a Surly Big Fat Dummy for an adventure bike as I plan to start bicycle touring next year... the more sane option is a Salsa Fargo; it has braze-ons for 7 water bottles.
Pauper. Isn't there a sub-forum for those types?"A" microwave?
as in, ONE microwave?
Been feeling run down and under the weather. Bleh.
Mornin!
Made it into Wisconsin last night after having dinner with a friend while passing through Minneapolis.
Minnesota, as a whole, smells like burning turds.

My shoulder.
I will read the odd musculoskeletal study or two while on call but generally I read studies of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
Cold rain verging in and out of sleet. I'm looking at forecast for my Virginia drive; if it keeps looking like rain city, I may not even bring a bike.
How far east are you heading?
Noooo take yer bike, VA has some serious rocky trails.
Yeah, Elizabeth Furnace was interesting a couple of years ago...
how far into VA you going?
'Morning. I rode the bike trainer for an hour today. 
We'd be looking at a foot of snow if it was winter. The rain is dumping, but I am still grilling these filet mignon burgers I bought.

Midland.
I had zero expectations for today. rain or snow was supposed to start falling. my oldest had "camp skills day" with cubs all day. I did the drive out this morning, and another family is doing the return portion.
I somehow managed to get a free pass for riding after my wife got back from her run. No one else could go on such short notice, so it was solo. I felt good, so I kept adding distance to my planned loop. Wound up riding 31km, climbed 700m, and did lots of fun descents. Pretty sure it was my biggest day this year. and good training for my riding trip to Ecuador in 2 weeks. I am very stoked this ride happened!
and now my wife is making chili. I like her chili. a lot. mmmmm chili!
if the rest of the weekend goes to shit, I won't even care!

yeah, elizabeth furnace is probably your best bet close by.
Pervert.
What an ugly day here. I hate coastal storms above 28F. Give me a quality Nor'easter dumping 2ft of fluff and I'll be happy as a clam, but this wet BS - no, thanks.
wheels held air like a champ from the get go. interested to see if i can run slightly less pressure than normal with doubledown casing. mounted up to bike and need to take for a shakedown ride asap. @StiHacka - bb still sitting at 13”- in high setting.
founders porter keeping me happy this afternoon...as is the fact that the kids are at a halloween party right now. as is my couch and the fact i’m about to have home made tomato soup and grilled cheese sammiches.

You just reminded me it's chili season. Now, which one to start with...I had zero expectations for today. rain or snow was supposed to start falling. my oldest had "camp skills day" with cubs all day. I did the drive out this morning, and another family is doing the return portion.

Quoted for January.
Red Mt is a hootenanny - and a pretty easy shuttle to boot. Did it twice so everyone would get a turn.
Red Fleet shit is fun too. Did lower J-Boy, Cabin thing over to Jumps and Ladders. We shuttled J&L 4 times.
Tacos now....

Today has been completely forgettable. Waste of precious spacetime really.
HWY 522 is one of my favorite roads in the world to drive on.
