weathermonkey.com 30ish freedums, 8" of snow on the deck.

Lit the livingroom fireplace this morning instead of turning the heating on in the house. Thankfully despite a mistake of only having 3 twigs in the house for kindling it lit \o/

Here. Work today. Packing for trip to TN next week. Driving leaving Saturday morning. Wifey's longest car trip beyond LA to SF, so this should be fun.

Morning Monkeys.

Still very hazy around here and that is far from normal. Chilly on walkies this morning, it seems our 2 weeks of summer is beyond us now.

Can't get my truck started, might be the ignition control module. It's tough because how much money do you put into keeping a rig running that is worth maybe $800 that can be replaced for about $3k? The answer is about $80, then it might go to pick and pull if they will give me at least $400 for it. It's a '92 3/4 ton Silverado with 210k on it. Truth is she died in front of the house and has never left me stranded in 7 years of ownership. Also have put about $500 into her over the years, so Amber has been a real trooper.

I've got some 10 speed stuff I've been meaning to clean and list for ages, I guess I should get to it.

I'm going to reserve a Yeti SB115 for an all day test ride some day next week.
Yeti "demo" is actually a rental. $125 a day to rent a "premium" bike. But, it'll be the only chance I get to ride one so it will be money well spent. I booked it for Sept 25 (Friday) and will take the day off from work, with wife and splat in tow.

there is a complete spooky metalhead that some guy has been trying to sell for 3500 for at least the last 6 or 7 years...maybe longer...
