My buddy and I got into a little fun last night at our local ski hill. We carried the bikes most of the way up a steep hiking trail till we hit the auto road, pedaled to the summit, had a beer, took some pictures, and then this happened:

My head cold persists, temperature is headed to -∞, lunch today with a bunch of scrofulous retired engineers.
Mornin!
Fuck it, I'm gonna ride my MTB this weekend on sweet, glorious dirt. Then I shall work on the trailer. Rinse and repeat.

Morning Monkies! I've been on a taco binge the last few days, last night's were hotter than I thought at the time.
Snowy morning in Brewster MA. I hope the massholes can keep it together long enough for me to get outta here on my 3 O'clock flight.
Day 2 sick kid. Kind of not feeling so hot myself now.
snow here, but roads are clear. people aren't driving like it though.
last night i tidied up the garage so i could park in it again. turn kids car seat around so it faces forward. then tidied up the workshop. got some luponic distortion last night series #4. so good i had 6 of them. and a trip to the shed
sausage biscuit sammich for breakfast. hot strong coffee. boss is off today, so i foresee leaving early.

Auto maintenance night from hell last night. Went to install my newly-painted diff covers. Prepped, RTV'd and installed front cover. Prepped, RTV'd and installed rear cover.......fuck, 1 bolt short. Search EVERYWHERE.....nowhere to be found. Garage floor, outside, workbench. Nowhere. Fearing the unimaginable, I pull both covers back off to ensure it didn't somehow fall into one of the differentials. Not there. Clean up the mess and say F it for the night, and as I grab my worklight, I see a nail in my tire, cause why wouldn't there be a nail in my tire after all this? Figured plugging it is no big deal, right? Wrong. Trying to plug a massive mud tire was like trying to pass a toothpick through a plate of steel. Finally got it to go, taking out 1/2 the skin on my finger in the process.
Worst. Night. Ever.

going to eat my weight in arepas for lunch 
Morning. Snow no show but it's cold and windy, not sure I will ride this evening. Uber cold and windy this weekend. Gotta buy some beers.
nope. can't be. did not involve ripping a mailbox out of the ground, or uttering of the phrase "hey baby i bet you taste like cholesterol"
i stocked up yesterday. in addition the the firestone, i got a 12 sampler from heavy seas brewing, largely because it contained an imperial ESB.
I bought an extended rear facing car seat (well, four of them, two for each of the kids in each car) as my kids are both up against the height limit for most rear facing seats rather than the weight. These will be good until 40 lbs, which, for Mariko, may well be another 2 years. She's 28 lbs and 37.x" now, iirc.
In other news it's 28 and kind of damp out. It was a mistake to ride in with shorts on even though it'll warm up to over 70 this afternoon.
my kid is 40lbs and right around 36 / 37". just turned 2.
Morning Monkeys.
Idle day today, I should go see the chiropractor for a proper back pop. Maybe stop by my buddies shop to say hi. Last time I was there he had traded his way up to a $35k '58 Impala that was simply to die for and was thinking of selling it already. He's an ass and a hell of a horse trader. He'll start with a $3k Honda Civic he got at auction for $500 and end up with something wicked in 3 months. He ended up with 2 fully built out Jeeps last time.

Gear packed for jam session later tonight.
Gotta love coworkers who get on the same elevator as you, but won't look up from their phone long enough to acknowledge you are there.

Whisper to him while sleeping that mommy and daddy will disappointed in him unless he plays in the NFL and supports them financially.
fuck no.
LET'S SHOW SOME HUSTLE, PEOPLE!
45 minute straight swim before work, meaning no stopping. 2350 yards. I've got a 5K race tomorrow and it will be the coldest of my five races so far this year. WTF it's the middle of March. Shooting for a sub-20 race time. Sub-19 would be even better.

Had been looking forward to sneaking out early to ride today after a brutal week. Alas 5pm meeting has been called. Fuck me. I see no choice but to drown my sorrows in all the beers tonight...
On a Friday?
WOO HOO! My PR is 19:12 and I am in better shape now. It's a matter of how tired my legs are from this week's workouts.
pure evil
Luponic distortion #5, Aeronaut's A Year With Dr. Nandu and Collective Project's IPA No.1
I think I am getting mighty spoiled.
when did #5 come out?
Page says February 2017. It also says "fruit bomb", "loaded with Washington hops" and "hop heads will go nuts".

nifty. will have to look for it.
Brutal, kill list.
I bet they'd look if you drop a loud, wet, rancid fart. Try it next time and be sure not to break eye contact once they do look up.
that's a serious gamble for mandown
Sometimes you just have to take the leap and hope for the best.
leaping would probably be challenging for him too.
That's a risk I'm willing to take.
