Loaded on whiskey. Lamb of God, Anthrax, a pre game shot and four doubles, and this old crippled bastard is ready for the 1:00 am to downtown sleepy. All aboard!

Tired again. Currently sitting in the Miami airport waiting for my flight to San Juan just to catch another puddle jumper to the final island. Managed to squeeze in 3hrs of sleep on the redeye. This is a lot given I will be in Puerto Rico for less than 48 hours. I get back to Denver Monday at 11pm. Tuesday is going to suck.
Haley went home yesterday with a 102* fever. She's been pretty tough about it and trying to stay in bed/sleep. Not stoked on leaving her when she's this sick.
Also Spanish. Nobody is speaking English as primary. People seem incensed that I am speaking English.

¡Mas excelente!
Single digits again, went for a short ride yesterday, peculiar snow conditions, a few inches of settled power, tended to shear under tires on uphill grinds. I'm not sure what I'll get into today.
Met my brother and an old high school buddy at St. Patrick's Brewery in Denver last night. Apparently said brewery was hosting some sort of party for a large group of deaf people. I've never been in a bar that was so full of people, and yet so quiet. It was a little surreal. I LOL'd when the Friday night solo guitar act started bringing in his gear to set up as we were leaving. Talk about a rough crowd to play for!

Cold out there today. Dog peed but wanted no part of going for a walk. Then a few minutes after coming back inside she decided that she did have to go back out to drop some steamers (always a leash walk). Dogs. 
I've got a spin bike session and a run to take care of right after a poop. brb

Spin bike session...
Cold and getting colder, down to -9f tonight. No more than 12f during tomorrow. 50s and rain on Tuesday. Eff that.
Not an uncommon thing for cyclists to do this time of year.Spin bike session...
My turds are quite happy today. Fun fact: Saturday is named after Saturn by our pagan linguistic forefathers. I am guessing the dimmer bulbs on the monkey will be kept up tonight with excitement to find out what Sunday was named after.
Was supposed to attend our annual illegal backroad bike race today. It originated as an event for something to do as this time of year trails are typically too muddy to ride. Of course today is the coldest day of the year and 3000 foot gravely descents is a recipe for the hypo-death. I will be enjoy a brief ride on some nicely frozen trails.

Awoke to a FB notification saying "Dita Von Teese liked your photo."
Later, I'm going to take that thought out to the dong-shed.

gloriously slept in until 7:30, I can't remember the last time I got 9 hours of sleep. The wife and I had a really nice anniversary night out, me went to a nice Greek restaurant.
Coffee then its car repair day, need an estimate on a new volvo sunroof then its off to the glass shop to replace the front windshield on my new truck which met a rock on the highway and now has a two foot long crack

Finally in Puerto Rico waiting for my puddle jumper to Culebra.
I'll probably never fly American again after getting raped by their change policy, but they do seats right. They are hip wide for me (which sucks), but when you lean them back, the bottom slides out and rotate up a bit so you don't end up with a weird angle for your back. In doing so, i was able to have my knees not touch the seat ahead of me. Very glad that Wifey surprised me by getting an exit row ($50 additional) for the first leg.

$ick cat.
Went for a quick ride when temperature was quickly dropping from 15F to 10F today. Got tons of comments on my short. Toughen up buttercups!
Very good day to be a member of P.E.T.A. (people eating tasting animals) at my house

50 mile road loop in the mountains with wifey, 12-25 cassette might need to be changed for a 28T.
After trying Lincoln Gap east to west, I went to 11-34 and an XT long cage derailleur.
I've got an 11-28 Ultegra 10 speed in great shape that I'm not doing anything with if you want to try one.
Got another ride in this afternoon. Starting to get the new Spitty dialed in. The thing rails corners even easier than the old one. Almost feels like you're being pulled through the turn. And the totally unridable 26" I9s can pull some serious snap out of corners as well.
Herro RM,
Trails ain't getting ridden by me. I figure I'm still two months out. What I been doing is slowly upgrading my bike so when I can shred it's in primo shape. Got me some ck hs & bb coming in sour apple...
Also clued in a trail runner about some of the underground trails around here... dude is already doing longer runs than I have biked out there?? Crazy fucker!

I used to love pepperoni cooked just like that with the charred edges. One day, a slice will be eaten, one day...
The onions peppers and mushrooms under goat cheese will be my next pizza. I will omit the sausages and pepperonis next time. Less Olive oil too. Burnt goat cheese is awesome by the way... Betterer then burnt pepperoni.
Where did you ride?
How's the recovery coming along?
I held it together and had no sneezing or coughing fits during my concert tonight. I didn't play that bad, either. I think I outright fingered one note wrong in a senile moment and chipped two others in a small fashion.
Thanks for asking. I'd say my fingers and elbow are at 80% mobility while my wrist is 35%. Bones are still delicate and I'm in the sling all day to keep my hand out of commission. I tried to go sling free but ended up using it too much. Still haven't been cleared for PT but hoping that changes this week.
I thought Tiger had seasonal riding bans?
@HAB might borrow the same cassette of my wife's Fury to give it a try first.
Fun loop, definitely appeared easier climbing in our clockwise direction.
I'll likely shout for some MTB rides once the trails are dry enough, Golden Monkey Fest.

I think that ended a couple years ago. Not sure though, I hardly ever ride on the wet side. I dunno how HAB picked up 7k of vert with the mtns snowed in. Jeebus
