so damn glad this is the last workday of this shit show week at work. It going to take a long bike ride tomorrow to clear the crap out of my head.

On the other hand I feel surprisingly fresh for going for an hour long cardio session on the elliptical last night then staying up way too late

Off to short bus land it is...

Good Morning!!

A sketchy, icy commute in this morning. Everything that melted yesterday, rearranged itself into a very hockey rink-like situation. That being said, I'm really proud of how well my NC brethren have performed in this years snow. I will award us a solid C minus. Good job, NC!

Headed to the mountains after work with the family to go skiing. Looking forward to it - I have vision in my head of my son having a great time and begging us to stay a little longer so he can take one more run....what's going to actually happen, is that we'll get all of our sh*t up there, pay the money, and he'll take one run, fall down, and then be ready to go.

Hello ROLF! It's a sunny day and the roads are clear, yet there were multiple accidents driving into work. I dunno. I swam 3000 yards this morning, and it was a tough workout and now my upper body feels all wobbly. So anyway, it looks like a great weekend for skiing and my wife will surely enjoy that while I spend both days working. EFF. But that is what I signed up for when I took this job.

I, too, will be working this weekend. Meh.

 

[StiHacka]

Another ugh day on tap. Luckily, the weekend begins in only 6 hours 57 minutes. There is another thing for me to look forward to - Fedex should deliver my new lunch box sized guitar tube amp before the end of the day. I am ready to generate some serious noise.

There's even electric cars...it's how we know who to make fun of....

My wife is seriously considering pulling the plug on having Internets at our house. We can only get internet 2 sources where we live. One requires you to have cable to get internet services and the other (which we currently have) is very expensive for what it is. I will miss Netflix and Hulu, but will become way more productive at home. We went a few years with out it and were fine. I think I am gonna tell her to do it.

you should see if your cell provider has a unlimited pr0nz streaming package.

 

[Adventurous]

Done with today and done with this week. Just one thing after another, we can't get our shit together and I'm over putting in the extra time and effort when people continue to want to do business in a piss poor fashion.

 

[slyfink]

Had a great ride last night. perfect snow, best trail in town, good company. capped off with a pit-stop at the pub. slept ok-ish, but feel like shit this morning.

looking forward to beer and whisky tonight.

 

[canadmos]

Damnnnn, it's supposed to be 41F tomorrow. Excitingggggg.

At the shop getting my coolant flushed out and thermostat replaced.

Might go for a ride tonight. Might not.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

In theory, going for a ride at about 1:00.

 

[ICEBALL585]

Morning primates.

Knee still isn't feeling 100% so I probably shouldn't do any skiing this weekend (although that still may not stop me). I guess that's what ibuprofen and beer is for.

Here too. it's going to fuck all the outdoor recreation opportunities: xc skiing, skating on the canal, fatbiking. I suppose there's still toboganning and DH skiing. Hmmmm

 

[stoney]

New computer is so fast! New computer has all of my programs! New computer didn't transfer over any of my bookmarks... I've spent the last hour plus trying to track down my remote desktop from before to get my bookmarks, as my job is mostly cloud based. Giddy.

Positive note, skiing tomorrow morning with Haley then she's off to class and I can get onto my board.

oh, by the way your board is ready!

 

[TN]

skiing all weekend. hoping for a pow day on sunday.
although supposed to ride with my girl and we think her car got stolen last night with her board & boots in it, so thats weird.
going to the observatory to look at stars tonight if the cloud cover aint too bad.
...now its time to work on Petite Amateurs Got Bush. :/

 

[stoney]

oh, by the way your board is ready!

So uh... You gonna be up around 730 tomorrow morning? I kinda need that for tomorrow.

 

[StiHacka]

Petite Amateurs Got Bush. :/

Got any screenshots?

 

[stoney]

Getting ready for monocle harassment... Cost of day care + house cleaning + car insurance for unused 3rd car, factoring largely unused basement suite = we're actively looking into the au pair option for Hannah and Haley's summer care (total $2500/m).

 

[TN]

This one chick in this scene has pupils the size of dinner plates & Im like 'this chick is spun but kinda hot' and sure enough I see that she has a tattoo of a DMT molecule on her thigh. Trippy chicks rule.

 

[Pesqueeb]

63 today? I *may* just put on my big boy pants, and drag my fat ass out for a ride. I've really fallen off the fitness wagon since the holidaze. Very little running, zero biking, and not much in the way of skiing. Time to get on it.

weekend for skiing and my wife will surely enjoy that while I spend both days working.

I, too, will be working this weekend. Meh.

Hi five!

...now its time to work on Petite Amateurs Got Bush. :/

This may be an unpopular opinion, but to me, your job actually sounds like a special kind of hell. It sounds awesome at first but I bet it gets weird pretty quick.

 

[Toshi]

we think her car got stolen last night

Smoke less weed and you won’t be uncertain as to whether the car was jacked or you blacked out

you dont even know bro. you dont even know.

c'mon doc. you know you cant black out from weed. or with my tolerance for concentrates lol

I think my computer is trying to call it quits.

We're still going to try some fat biking tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it isn't too bad, maybe the trees will help shade the trails a little. We're going to try to get to some of the big hills, in hopes of carrying some momentum...

Not to sound like "one of those people" but careful not to fuck yourself over too bad. It is possible to leave deep ruts that freeze in place. If there is no fresh new snow to fill them in, you might regret it later on... It might be a good opportunity to snowshoe them in, pack them down, and make some berms (and sweet jumps!)....

remember to factor in the time saved not getting to and from daycare, and the stress that adds to the family... especially in places with uncertain weather. I have neighbours that did that for years. I was always envious of them. I found it especially stressful at work, having a very rigid schedule. No ability to stay late to pitch in when there was a crunch, limited ability to get in early either. Their care provider started with them when their kids were of daycare age, and stayed through to this year with the kids in grade 6 and 4. When the kids got to school age, the care provider took on some other toddlers to supplement her income. We thought of putting our kids with them, but our neighbours are kinda assholes so dealing with them wasn't worth the trouble.

what I would give right now not to have to schlep the kids to and from school though... especially since my wife broke her leg.

Ok, fine. Maybe it was the alcohol then.

That's a big part of what I'm thinking about too. Wifey's not super comfortable with somebody living with us though. Then again, she has never lived with anybody else outside of her sorority sisters for 2 years in college. She's always had her own place.

 

[stoney]

Daycare dude.

Before/After school care for Haley is $125/week. Home daycare with hours that are wide enough for our hours costs the same as Primrose: 6am-6:30pm. House cleaning - $200/m. Summer camp for Haley is $400/week and has shorter hours 7-5, which is making our scheduled really hard to work around. Time is money, dude.

I hear ya. We won't be going on any groomed hills. This will be way off into the forest where the groomers don't go and not many of the locals have been going either. If its a total poo-show I think we will break out the snow shoes.

then hire one of her old sorority sisters to be your au pair.

you're welcome!

Week 2 no booze. although tonight I may stop at Upslope for a cold top or two after work.
