- Start date
In the past week the temps haven't gotten above the teens. I love winter and snow but damn dude WTF
-5° F, still absorbing black fluid.
Coldest air of the season. Meh. I gotta go to the inlaws this afternoon until Sunday afternoon to do a late Christmas with sister in-law that I totally forgot about until this morning.
Canadmos-I'll hit you up. Damn its gonna be cold...
Good Morning!!
It's a beautiful day out there to be alive....or dead, if that's your preference.
The office is a deserted wasteland today. There is zero productivity in the forecast, and it will be a fvcking miracle if I can manage to keep my eyes open for the remaining 7 hours.
As a side-hustle selling at the Farmers Market, I grow microgreens in my basement(insert bongshed joke right here) and harvested about 3lbs of an awesome salad mix last night I've been working on with broccoli, kale, kohlrabi, arugula & red acre cabbage all mixed together as an experiment. It had a very sunflower seed-like flavor and made for an excellent salad. Brought a bunch in to work this morning, and it's all gone in an hour. Might be a good seller over the winter, I think.
Y'all go kick ass.

Guess I should get a move on, chore day at home. Coffee, bacon, and eggs first.
3F and overcast when I woke up. Dealing with this crap is easy when at home but next week, the commute to the city will be tough - I cannot wait to hit the public transportation at -3F. I want moar snow and less freezing, dammit. Also, my beer belly muscles are sore after the XC ski session yesterday, I should do more of this exercise apparently.
Giant poop shall be incoming, or rather outgoing, in a few hours!
Today it is 46 in Denver so I pedaled my belt-drive bike into work. Only scattered patches of ice--nothing too bad, and no spills. On the downside, though, this is my Thursday as I'll be back in the mines tomorrow. Thankfully I have Sunday (skiing) and Monday (picking family up from airport) off, at least.
Thinking A-Basin but could be convinced to pony up for a Loveland ticket if you're headed up.
Damn...that looks great. For me, a recipe for heartburn if I've ever seen one...but I'm down with that risk.
I fixed that for you.
At our local place(which has since shut down) I took great delight in watching the kids shoot out of the curly slide like torpedo's at the unsuspecting adults that weren't paying attention as they sauntered by....
Teaching the next three days which means alpine starts over the long weekend. Im seriously never gonna get to sleep late until spring.
NYE plans look grim. Homies want to go to the casino &/or Denver. I rather burn a fire in the woods and visit the spirit realm.

You're the one that wanted kids.
Compared to some of the stuff I normally eat, this is pretty tame. I eat a lot of spicy Indian and Thai food. I'm talking burning exit spicy.Damn...that looks great. For me, a recipe for heartburn if I've ever seen one...but I'm down with that risk.
I've just over-flavored my chicken burger with Dave's Insanity sauce. Damn, this burn is real. I wish I knew how the burger actually tasted.
Yeah, but I thought I'd be playing outside with them. I hadn't realized how delicate they are. You think my wife will let them outside when it's - 23°F?! (but fuck it, cold be dammed, we're getting out this afternoon no matter what)You're the one that wanted kids.
Weekend plans have changed. We were going to ski for three days at Mount Snow, but with projected temps in the -30's with the wind, I told Wife that we can go right ahead and FTS right in the face. So we'll head up Sunday to visit her cousin and maybe try to ski a few runs Monday morning, but no promises.
I tell ya what though, I hope all of you terrific monkeys have yourselves a happy and beautiful weekend and 2018 New Year. You're all pretty special people and you deserve that much.

Got a call last night that best friends from college are getting divorced. Guess that's the age I am now. I have teh sad on multiple levels.
Wife and I have been to about 20 weddings of friends and cousins since we met, and a solid 50% of them have ended in divorce already. Several of those have resulted in us having to attend second weddings as well. So those assholes have cost us two wedding gifts.

I believe that's about par. This will be divorce #2 among my circle of friends. I haven't yet attended anyone's second marriage, so I guess I've got that going on for me?
aw shucks
20's all your homies get marreid, 30's all your homies get divorced...life in 'Merica.

Everybody poops, dies, and pays taxes. If you're lucky, there's some other good things that happen in between... like NYE hut trips and powder days and good coffee over a camp stove and good beer around a camp fire and long bike rides and sex with someone you love (or at least like a little bit) and wearing house slippers and short but violently fun bikes rides and getting adopted by a pet and dang... so many things. I'm a little hungover right now otherwords I'd think of some more things. But yeah. Buy a nicer ski jacket if it gonna be cold, you pansies. Jayzus.
That some kinda code?
I can't quit laughing at this. Mind if I use that phrase? We nearly a thousand miles apart, so no danger of cross-contamination....
My wife and I have been through shit that would have killed most normal couples. We both could have exited the freeway, but the further we drove, the smoother the road became.
Have you noticed that those who remarry usually wind up with a carbon copy of their prior spouse?
BTW, saw a chica at lunch today wearing what looked at first glance like 60s fatigue shirt with three chevrons. Turned out to be a stylish approximation. Was not sure whether to be amused or irritated, decided at the end that I had no opinion. Two points, would not fuck.
^This
That could not be further than the truth for me. My current wife is nothing like my first wife. To start with, new wifey has not tried to kill me.
Fair enough..... Although with Michelle, pretty sure if it comes to that, it isn't gonna be "try" it will just be me no longer posting on the monkey......Yet?
She also has access to a great many acres of private land.......
Rode 10.5 miles in 13F on skinny tires because eff you fat nazi. Another stupid out of control poodle almost bit me today, her stupid ass walker kept her back towards us and just kept yelling "Come on, girl!" without making the slightest effort to get her under control. When her snot rubbed against my calf, I've had it and yelled back that I am calling cops if she bites me because another poodle bit me two days ago. She didn't say a thing, didn't get the dog under control but went another direction so 2 minutes later, the effing dog finally disappeared.
tl;dr: good chilly ride, fucking stupid people are fucking stupid

oh boy. had a handful die in my 20's so maybe im prepared for that?Wait till your 40s and your homies start getting cancer. That's a tough one to swallow. Still have a ways to go till my 50s, but I'm not really looking forward to what's in store.
Other than my kids moving out.
Well, @eric strt6 does drive the short bus...
