Coffee, a little bit of blue sky, but s'posed to be cloudy. A herd of whitetails leaping through the tree trunks behind the house. 
Hopefully the colder weather is gone for a while. Forecast is looking good.
Not sure I’m ready for all what comes with spring, but I’m working on it.
Where in New York?
You get all the good work.
We did Elm's Ridge and Hattaway near Windham and Sterling Forest and Blue Mountain Reservation near Peekskill.
Blue is always a good time. I've spent many happy hours there.
whoah, that's a big ol' drive to get down there... were you also heading to NYC?
I guess I'm just wondering if the riding is worth a 6.5 hour drive...
Yesterday I did something I haven't done in a long time, if ever.
I bought brand new pedals.
For years and years I had a fleet of M636 pedals that I was limping along, until @Serial Midget gifted me a set of XT trail pedals back in 2016. Those have been on the trail bike since then, and they're freaking CLAPPED out, really bad. The bearings are shot, the whole pedal body just wobbles around on the spindle like a drunk epileptic nun. So I did, bought brand new pedals. I seriously can't remember the last time that happened... I'd honestly suspect it was the 90s.
Now I need to replace my clapped out shoes.

Morning Monkeys.
Wife has been sick all week, 2 at home COVID tests say false, but she's going to urgent care today to see what's up. I'm just tired of dealing with her ass.
No meetings today, so that's good. Also my Slayer trucks show up today, so suck on that.

That has suspension. And @Nick is first in line.
This is my old beater. $300 on Craigslist kind of bike.
hate when that happens

Lining up a 30 yard dumpster for this weekend. Time to make the nasty, cat piss soaked carpet and woodwork from the prior owners go away.
Do yourself a favor now and get a real carpet cutter,

Also cut your carpet into smaller chunks to prevent baseboard/paint damage, thank me later.
So far they are saying partly cloudy this weekend. It's only Wednesday so much can change between now and then.
riding in t-shirt when no riding is going to happen around here for a month is always worth 6 hours drive.
A friend of mine once said: When your feet hit the floor, that's when the problems start.
Holy frig, feels like Monday. Sat down at my desk with a coffee this morning, opened the laptop and noticed that I had a meeting at a different location. Derp. Rushed out and of course there was an accident on the way.
Finally back at my desk and can resume drinking this coffee.
Ride night tonight. Will be extra slow...

Baseboards are long gone too; all new baseboards will be laid throughout the house. In fact, a good 50% of the trimwork will be redone, both to get rid of the nasty smells, but also cause it's poorly done. We stopped shy of replacing any drywall or subfloors, opting to hit all of that with odor blocking primer. All that seems to have knocked out any lingering stench, thank the FSM.
Bacon wrapped meatballs in cannabis infused mushroom sauce over cannabis infused egg noodles. Sounded good. It was not. I could only eat 2. Just because you can infuse something. Does not mean you should. Cannabis infused generally means. Taste like ass. Tumeric is the new Paprika. I cannot wait until things go full circle and we can eat Curry again.
