Seemed like it was going to work out great, a little crusty at the bottom, but good snow around 1/4th of the way up and thereafter.

Was looking pretty good here, like the sun was trying to come out and I'd have decent vis coming down.

But vis started to close down fast, I found myself on a knife-edge ridge and figured that was a good time to transition. This is looking down rather steeply.

And in true fashion, the mist had moved in heavily and I couldn't see fucking anything on the way down, at least to the trees. Well, at least I didn't pay 300 bucks or whatever the lift ticket is at Alyeska to try and ski down the same whiteout shit.

The Girl at the REI bike shop is wicked Cute. I have behaved. She rides Time pedals also. She got me a left and right axel rebuild kits. Very cool. I am going to give it a day or two. Hitting while the iron is hot no longer works for me.

Going to Springs tomorrow to maybe get Wifey a new bike. '18 RM Instinct 70 Carbon. Much nicer option than the EX5 for $250 more. Almost new, 7# lighter, near identical fit. We shall see what Wifey says when she rides it.

1. 4-6 weeks out; dollars have moved.
2. She likes these ones, that she just chose.

We're actually pretty much done. I need to finish the upstairs baseboards and then we have some repairs, but we're pretty much done for a while.

Work is stressing me out. Not the actual work today, which is easy (albeit with me at Highlands Ranch for no good reason that I can discern other than that we roll over at their irrational requests), but because two more people are leaving my section in 6 months and shit's going to hit the fan.
you in six months.....

i saw on google maps there is a snarfs down the street...

I don't give my dog anything harder than a stick for that reason. Actually he is the most happy chewing on thick chunks of rope which does a better job of keeping his teeth clean anyway. Just gets awkward when he has a thread of rope hanging halfway out of his asshole.
like when a vet brings their chesapeake bay retriever and throws it on a run in the kennel and you get to tell her it looks like she just shit out a thong...
