Helped a friend with a stem install. He has some injuries so trying to get him comfortable on the bike and also installed his bike in the trainer. He then gave me venison he has shot so I have a lot of good meat in the freezer.
The few CCs of boost I got yesterday are kicking my ass. Gonna take a partial sick day so I can slack off and casually take care of the two tasks I need to complete by years end.
Watching these morons flail, rant and throw tantrums over a couple inches of snow and 30 degree temps is pure amusement, whislt savoring my chalice of tempid bean water.
Not sure how they made it thus far but glad they dont have the stones to move from here.

Hello all. Got back to Denver and did about 2 shifts of work in 6 hours so that’s that. Didn’t sleep great afterwards.
Picking up heated insoles for wife’s boots, my new DH bike, and probably a huge pile of held mail from the mailbox today.

One of my employees got attacked by a pit bull while refueling in hayward last night 4 puncture founds to the thigh. I guess it could have been worse. His partner took him to the ER. I had to go get him last night after he got stitched up and take him to the office to get his car. PD and Animal control are involved. Dog owner located
espresso then I'm out of here

Hey man! Yada yada 7 mile run done before the sun came up. Just enough snow and ice on the rail trail to make me have to pay attention.
Pick your vehicle with the biggest load space, that box is huge. (67x35x11")
I made the mistake of picking up mine in our Crosstrek, that was the most uncomfortable driving position feasible to get home. Seat all the way forwards and upright doesn't work well at my height. @Nick very kindly assisted for picking up S's.

I am one of those morans @gonefirefightin speaks of. This white shit puts a dent in my staycation activities and I for one will be happy when it's gone. Snow is like the beach, it's a place you go to when you want to have a bad time, you don't bring that bad time home with you.

Nah. You just need to be prepared. You know, tires with traction, maybe a set of chains, ability to downshift and brake early.
None of that has any impact on my 11:30 tee time today, but thanks for the information.
Maybe a snow blower down the fairways would help, but I don't see that happening. I don't have Lil Man's bike, or we would ride. It's times like this I seriously consider a bike for Grandpa's house. But it would need to be comparable to his Norco.
Effing rain spoiling the trails again. Dis winter season sucks donkey balls. 
I for one am loving our white Christmas here in the PNW. 2 feet of snow on our trails and no road maintenance meant solo freshies on “new” trails…this morning my body is reminding me that skiing uses different muscles…
This mornings loop around the island.
This little amount snow has essentially shut down the area. City, gov, law enforcement, public offices are all shut down, gas stations are minimally open, garbage services are down, Hospitals are on skeleton staff, traffic lights are flashing. Entities are telling folks to stay home and stay off the roads. I never even fired up the plow for less than 2 feet on the east slope. Just cracks me up.

Blowing snow all night makes the interstates close for extended periods of time. Bags are packed and ready to go as we watch the snow blow across the other snow.
Financial tip, never tell your financial person what you're hoping to do, because they may call you a silly goose and tell you you could have done it 6 months ago. FML
Credit being pulled this morning, pre-approval letter being drafted, unsure if we'll be able to get all the necessary ducks in a row in time due to their being literally 1 house for sale that ticks all our boxes, but at least if it doesn't work out we're only out a few credit points for the hard-pull and we weren't planning to move for another couple years anyway.
Twas cold as balls this morning, had to scrape ice off my windshield, almost cold enough to wear pants, almost.

Made it to the gym too. Strange how much you get done when you don't have to go to work.
Paging @stoney to the white courtesy phone........

That encompasses bolting in the front wheel and bolt the assembled handlebar setup to the top fork crown.
Not having to deal with the box and packaging is worth something as well. Supporting the local economy, I amThat encompasses bolting in the front wheel and bolt the assembled handlebar setup to the top fork crown.
and adding grit to the headset!That encompasses bolting in the front wheel and bolt the assembled handlebar setup to the top fork crown.
A good shop uses a fine lapping compound, feels smooth out of the box but necessitates a prompt replacement.
That person is an idiot. The past is the past; you can only look forward. If you look into the past, you will only regret those decisions.

Lake Tahoe shatters 51-year-old snowfall record amid storm
This December has seen record-breaking amounts of snowfall not recorded in the Tahoe area...
Look who showed up. Rained all morning now this. Very sloppy and moist.
I don’t trust anyone to assemble my bikes. My last came half built, very quickly it got stripped down and built up properly with actual lube where it needs it and proper torques. How on Earth do people think a bike — a mountain bicycle no less where getting wet is a given — is properly assembled with dry bolts of differing materials?
Big city living. We also have stores that are open on Sunday, I know that's weird for you, too.
You should see what 2cm of snow can do in London and 1/2 of England.
I prefer using peanut butter, achieves this same function until it hits a few stream crossings.
(I did this once to a shop mate in a square taper BB before a weekly series race, hilarity ensued. )
Can we have some? Please.And most of it fell in the last week
