Another day, another foot of fresh or something. Maybe we will ride singletrack in August.
Gotta work, maybe deep Snow King laps for lunch.
Good day, gents!

Ten degrees, sunny, and calm. Dentist this morning, implant in process...
Ahh nothing says fuck this shit more than having to transport a 600 pound human blob first thing in the morning.
Yep, it's morning.
Had another interview yesterday afternoon. I feel it went well, but the common questions always come back to my logic on taking one person's direction, clarifying it efficiently and independently, then conveying that to systems, and how do you explain things to systems such that they get explained properly the first time. When I explained that my dad is a very high level engineer in Phantom Works at Boeing and I have had to communicate with him my entire life, that did get a solid laugh and helped, I think. I guess my time in sales is a concern vs. my analytical logic.
Second issue that keeps coming up is why did I not take the development job with Bloomberg years ago. People seem to pause, almost with doubt, when I tell them that JPM offered me 2x what I was making to work for them, while Bloomberg wanted me to move to NYC without a raise.
So hard to make this happen... I still think I have it, but this is a harder process than expected.

Three days of no rain means possible trail ride this week. I'm not sure I remember how to ride trail and tech. Currently sitting in front of my office computer wondering why I do this shit everyday...
Mornin!
Off to NOLA this morning to stuff ourselves with food. Only have a day in the city so here’s to making the most of it!

Haven't been able to ride my trail bike since early November, fat bike has been getting some good use this winter though.
Fog.
Else wise, meh.....
I always loved the Dinosaur BBQ

Good Morning!!
We've now hit two straight days with sunshine. Along with sour cream in the new convenient squeeze tube and online banking, this is possibly the most exciting news I can run with.

Got new carhartt pants, they are a shade of kashima brown that I am sure that fox's lawyers are already frothing at the mouth over
Morning Monkeys.
The office got a light dusting overnight, but mostly clear. 29 freedoms is too cold, just saying. This makes the wife and I rethink moving further east into the gorge. Not sure I am prepared for actual winter weather conditions.
FTS is high. I am not feeling the love so much these days in the office, but maybe it's just me.

How do you say “Bite Me” in Shinjuku?
Yeah, careful with those wingdings because I would have instinctively deleted the thread and banned the user if I wasn't loaded up on five shots of espresso.
Isn't that pretty far out of the way for you? Ima need to check this place out...
WTF? Are you a farmer?
I actually thought about the fact that about half of the people I talk to on a daily basis are engineers of some form or another and communicating with you guys is like talking idiots on occasion, but then I would have to explain this shitshow, so I passed on it. Then they asked about working with people of differing personalities and the same thought came up, and I passed again.
as a packaging engineer, this is one of the best things i've seen in consumer food packaging in recent years.
Last order placed with Jenson for the new Banshee bike build. Next up is to get some wheels built. Lots of bike work to do before spring arrives; build this new bike and strip down the Transition Scout to replace the front triangle.
And FTS at work. Ugh.

i have to dumb it down here because i'm not at work
what is this banshee of which you speak?
Windy as Hell last night/this morning. Tahoe to get 4-8 feet of snow (believe it when I see it), and once again.......
I didn't win lottery. Better rush out and buy a few more tickets so I can buy a few more bike parts, or a house, or new car, or ??????

I picked up a Banshee Rune frame and DVO Diamond last summer. Been collecting dust since...
huehuheuheuheuWTF? Are you a farmer?
no, I do like them as pants though, pretty cheap, only got 1 pair in kashima brown, another in tan, and one in gray.
I'm still not 100% recovered from the ailment that afflicted my stomach on Sunday. I will nevertheless attempt my workout class at lunch. I pray that I do not shit myself or vomit.
Well, I didn't really want to insult you.Be fair. It's WAY more than "on occasion"...
I'm tired, cold, and need to shovel the drive way again
