Ordered a new drill and drill bits. My work is done for the day. My old Bosch does not want to charge in Euro land despite my convert can run 110V.
Under le weather
Awake, sort of...
~12" of the white stuff to be dealt with outside.
the house is cold this morning, on with the heat I say. You know, I really hate waiting for the water to boil so that I make make my morning cup of glorious dark black mud.
I think I may be a grumpy old bastard today

Supposed to struggle to reach 10 freedums here.
73 freedums on Sunday seems a distant memory.
Was contemplating hooky today, but the low totals at the resorts, and the forecasted high of 3* has dissuaded me.
I feel like snow fall totals should have to meet or exceed predicted temps to be worth it.
That's a pretty good rule of thumb. For me, 8 is about the threshold...
Rain in your expectations.dammit. failing at hooky and the day i'd set aside to do so is supposed to see torrential rain.
I'm here. How are you?

Morning Monkeys.
Interview day, I honestly think it can't go as bad as last Friday, but you never know. I feel good about this one, I have been reading stuff and working on my answers to things. I hate the process, I really do.
In other news, Bman's helmet shows up today. He decided he liked the full cut ProTec and all the shops had little ones, so I broke down and ordered him one so we can ride. Albe's bike shop also gives you a shirt if you give them $5 for beer, so I am getting a shirt. I thought it was funny.

I have the same thing it will charge but only holds charge for a very short time.
ballots are shredding...
Mornin!
At the dealership getting the tailgate recall on my truck addressed. Looked at a bunch of Wranglers and Gladiators for kicks; they are surprisingly expensive and rather inefficient. Nostalgia and offroad prowess amiright?
Ordered some winter riding pants last night. With any luck myself and @StiHacka should be shredding some single track next week before starting jerbs.

Jeep is the new Harley. Built for overweight, 50 something, white guys with too much disposable income, whose wives won't let them buy an actual motorcycle.
My BIL just bought a Wrangler last year.
Peg teh demo, did I?My BIL just bought a Wrangler last year.
40-something and no wife... but, yeah.
Co-worker of mine got rid of his four year old Wrangler after I relentlessly mocked him after he was couldn't make it into work after a few inches of snow, he was unable to figure out how to get into 4WD.
This is apparently a common affliction. I remember driving around some idiot in a bro-dozer on M/Ts on Hwy 40 a year or two back. He was (thankfully not completely) blocking the road at an icy switchback, only spinning one of two rear wheels. I yelled at him to put it in 4WD as I drove on by.
(As it was a bro-dozer it's possible he removed the front driveshaft for under-truck cosmetics, which would make it equally amusing.)
Lift the lever?
What pants you get
I see more women in Jeeps these days.
They are taking over malls parking lots to and fro, it's a problem. They make it easy to see over top of those plebeian sedans of yore.
it's the new suburban.
Jeeps have been Harleys for decades. Heavy on glitz, accessories, and bro preening, short on actual function and utility.
