feeling the effects of last nights workout, moving a bit slow and every muscle is letting me know they got worked hard.

Gotta pack a gym bag when I get off shift. Doing 5 hour blitz run to Los Angeles to visit pops for the weekend. I'm going to try and be on the road before 4am Saturday then home by 10pm Sunday

otherwise its a Phucket Friday

Sent a thank you note to all the guys who interviewed me, and the guy who set up/led the interview (also a product development engineer) responded the feeling was mutual and I should expect to hear from their recruiting team by Monday.

I'm assuming that's a good thing?!

I was just privy to a conversation between one of our executives and an EA on the way up the elevator. They were complaining about how bad drivers in Denver have become, mostly because of the imports lately. Executive makes the following comment: "Just a few mornings ago I was going down 470 doing 75 in the left lane and some asshole in a BMW blows past me on the right doing 90." I'm not saying it was me, but I'm thinking there is a good chance it was me, as he gets in at about the same time I do every morning. Fuckers like him need to get into the right lane. Stay right except to pass means you keep your slow ass in the right lane until you are passing.

Also, work.

Real skiing?!

I am at work, having driven my 16.5 mpg beast in over a dusting of sticky snow. Last time I was here was 14 days ago. People are happy to see me. I am not too happy to be working. Meh.

Yup! Real skiing; gonna go to Loveland.

You totally have a spreadsheet or tracker for your MPG don't you. I know there are more sig figs to that 16.5...

Actually I don't. I know that's surprising. :D That was just rounding from my last tank that yielded 16.4 nominal mpg +/- the Nokians being a few %s taller than stock.

@Toshi I'm game for a WP/MJ morning. And I have a spreadsheet. I use drastic changes in mileage as red flags that something needs to be dealt with.

In hell. Welcome!
Hint... should follow rules made to keep traffic flowing and get out of the damn left lane.
This. Too many fvckers are just lazy and park their ass in the left lane. Doing 90 in a 75 zone is not a crime in my books. It is quite common to do 80 in 65 zone and 75 in 55 zone on all major Mazz freeways.

I rely on having an innately reliable vehicle. :D

I'll be up at WP/MJ Sun Feb 5 and Sun Feb 19. Kind of sparse month for me since Jessica's headed up with Mariko and on her own/with local moms group on the other two weekends. Mariko will be in 11:45-2:45 lesson so we could ski/board together then?

The part stoney is talking about isn't even a 75 zone. So the dude was SPEEDING in the left lane but is surprised that someone else is MOAR speeding passing him on the right? That dude is a fucking moron. :rofl:
