Finally we will start to gain some daylight again which feels even better than last year. It's been so cloudy and rainy this winter. Taking the bike to LBS to get the brakes serviced.

Lucky the LBSs are considered essential businesses and not locked down.
Worked late, tired!

Well, I still have two other bikes so if it was necessary I could have waited or just purchased a new brake. Just trying to see if I can get some more use out of the brakes instead of just buying new.

31* sipping espresso. just about time to start up the work vehicle and let the heater do its thing before I get into it. Slept like crap but the fitbit said I never woke up at all so it must have been weird dreams, other that that no noticeable side effects from getting the covid 19 vaccination so far

Mmm, yes, Christmas week it is. I dare say minimal work will be getting done as I finalize my holiday preparations.

Darn car battery I bought 2 months ago is bad. Went from 12.4V to 11.9V in 3 days, without ever being connected to a load. WARRANTY!

The wind, she's a blowin' out there!
I may hear something about a promotion today, or not. We'll see.
Coffee, work, trying to get an appointment for fitting new ski boot liners

What it say, friends!! I went for a 10 mile run early this morning. Too many fucking cars on the road between 6:30 and 7:30 AM, and I had to dodge a fair bit of crusty slush and black ice. 97 fresh e-mails in my work in-box after taking Friday off. *sigh*

At the office until Wednesday. Should be a quiet week here as some of the lines in the plant are shut down.

Good opportunity to actually do some catch up work.

And watch some youtubez.

But first, a poop.

Happy Birthday, @HAB !

Backcountry ski tour on Saturday and a snowshoe yesterday have my legs kinda pissed off at me as well... Plus I feel hungover despite drinking no alcohol. What the hell?

I am working today, to cover in part for a co-worker who had an eye injury now several months ago. But no work after today until next Monday!

Thursday reservations at Winter Park lined up for me + elder two kids.
