Good morning beautiful people!

Punted on a morning ride in favor of an afternoon ride, but a late afternoon work meeting got called and now I get neither. I have only myself to blame.

Otherwise, work, and maybe some errands later. Ooooo.

It would seem amongst all this COVID fuckery, it completely slipped everyone's mind in this house that the kid that's needed 3 sets of shoes and has grown a foot in the last year might need new ski equipment. So now I'm scrambling to get her accommodated, which because of COVID fuckery, is proving quite difficult. I hoping at this point we can even get her rental gear.

On the subject of MTB shit, I bought the wife a set of I9 wheels for Hanukkahmas and I gave them to her last night, but since the wheels won't be ready for another 6-7 weeks, all I could wrap was a page from their online catalog. But, she is stoked.

WOO FRIDAY. Not sure what I'm WOOOING for because work is fuckin busy and it has been going below freezing AND raining the last few days. I don't have spikes or hockey skate attachments for my bike, so I'm not actually sure what I'll do this weekend.

This week has absolutely sucked at work. Monday was busy. Tuesday was busier than Monday. Wednesday was busier than Tuesday. Thursday was busier than Wednesday. And now Friday is ????. What happens when this all loops around on Monday? Boom?

On a plus side, I enjoyed some delicious Hakka Chinese food last night.

What do you need, Shane? I've got 120 cm skis that she can use if that works. Can't help you with boots unless she's a 22.5 as I think that's the next random size up that I have lying about!

I am working today. Picked up Japanese baked goods this morning. Eating some delicious fresh mozzarella from Italy-via-Costco. Life is sufficient.

What size hoof? We have a pair of Full Tilt Soul Sister boots kicking around that we've been trying to sell for... a while. If they'd fit your kid, or will fit your kid at some point, they're yours for shipping cost and maybe a pint.

Thanks Doc, unfortunately woman child is bigger than that. She got real suddenly big this summer.

I might take you up on that. Happen to know the size? Woman-child is at least at 23 right now.

Oooh - they have the mozzarella di bufalo right now? That stuff is even better than my own homemade. :drool:
Yup. Current batch has an "eat by" date of 12/26 so just came in, too. So good. I've eaten 3 balls so far today.

I managed to get in a ride before it got dark at 4:45pm today. It was muddy but still good traction but of course slower than normal. I do not mind a muddy ride but I do hate all the cleaning after the ride but again better than not riding.
