One of my favorite rides is to park at Daniel Ridge lot, up to Gloucester gap then Butter and Cat Gap, dump out behind the Fish Hatchery and take Davidson River trail to Cove Creek and climb up to the connector, then bomb down Daniel Ridge creek side back to the car. Also can neither confirm or deny the use of an illegal trail for time travel purposes.
Haha…I actually DID LOL. However, olives do have a noble purpose, which is olive oil.
Which is goddamn delicious.
We’ll you can’t drink all day if you don’t start first thing in the morning.
I have plenty of advice, but not sure any of it is “good” or would be “appreciated.” As evidence of this, I submit that my first inclination on reading your post was to say “Congratulations!”
Dawn patrol on the pass this morning was a success. Roughly boot top deep light powder over a supportive yet non-punchy base. Made some “rad” squiggly dad bod turns through the trees and then back down the hill for work.
Ski up…
The face of a guy about to ski the best snow he’s had all season…
The view…
About to dorp…
Sadly no pics of actual skiing, we were too busy giggling and wiggling our way down the hill. Quick skin back up to the truck and put a bow on it.

I need to decide which bike I'm bringing to Washington DC for a couple months. I think the rigid hardtail, but maybe putting gears back on it for better bike-path use as needed. Plus the shorter local rides are all very steep up/downhill constantly in the terrain there, so gears actually help deal with that. (Oddly, I love singlespeed most in places where I have significant climbs followed by huge descents...)
But I just love it singlespeed, so much. Guess I can just refrain from shifting tho.
Then again, the 29" full suspension will pack up even smaller (if not lighter) and is also highly versatile.

“Soon you will be dead, so what difference is it making?”That dude's my Guru.
Totally, everything has one wrong since I bought that bike!Shit man! Sorry to hear. I assume that at least your A-Kasse is pretty good?
Those 29ers sure bring bad luck!
That would be a dream scenario. Last time I got double pay a couple of months but this time I would much rather have the free time and do some cool shit.
allegedly, my stupid shit from china finally shipped.
aaaaaaaaaaaaand I just realized the cranks I was going to move over are 19mm spindle rather than 24mm. No wonder they were included in the frameset....hmmmm

I need some nap roulette in my life, like 2 hours ago.
Also, seems like winter is holding the ---k on around here...

Argument around car is starting to go more to my favor. Wifey has her "renovations" list for the house and the premium we'd be paying for the car, can fulfill most of those requests. Paint office cabinets white? Done. Closet organizers? Done. Hot tub? Done. And probably leftover to paint the whole interior of the house if she really wants to - all from the damn down payment fund I've been saving for the car. Best part? All are home improvements, so I can add them to house basis when we eventually sell it in the future vs. a depreciating asset of a car.
get the ice off the roof?
You gotta take the wins. I "eat" $20k on what's inevitably going to get done, but buy another few years on the fucking car until leases start to expire. This is the stuff she sees and interacts with for extended periods daily. Gotta know where you can take wins.
Oh I saw the one for CA, I didn’t post it because I was concerned it might trigger you.now do.......
2-3 feet of an ice/snow mix, really. A lot of weight, that’s for sure.
- $12-15k for the Hot Tub (but I'd likely buy used and have serviced, maybe a new heating unit).
- Ikea Pax for the closets (I've already done it before) - $2500
- Cabinets.com for the laundry room - $2500
- $5-7k painting
And the theoretical now being the pergola. She's pulled back on that one since it will take away from her future backyard remodel.
All said, $20-25k. Or... I throw that away the moment I drive off the lot.
