Missed mine by a min, so deleted.

Just enrolled Haley into ski Devo for this season. Only doing a single resort pass this year because all of our friends are on Epic, so no real benefit to getting an Ikon since most of our time will be at WP anyways. Saving so much on a single resort pass that if we decide to join our friends at an Epic mtn, we'll still probably end up net positive.

Cloth rim tape slow to ship, going to hopefully balance my road wheels w/ new tires before next weekend.
Just the basics (tubes, rim strips, brake pads) are seriously in low quantities locally. Closest shop had nothing to sell.

Matched mileage from last year already, 3600 miles. Trying for 5000.

Dad duty with little man while wife and older visit her parents.

Going to see if older wants to ride his new bike when they get back. Also might take him on a quick Best Buy/beer run as resources are low.

Might try to hit the rollers tonight when everyone is asleep to keep the legs and lungs up. Thinking a long, proper trail ride Monday will be in order.

Afternoon Monkeys.

So after looking at way too many trucks today, I think I might just go gov auction. Found a '08 with 160k I can likely get for less than $2k. Auction ends in 4 days, I will try to book an inspection prior.

There are 3 just like it going between 10-12k at local shady dealers. If I can get it with little to no issues for $8k less, that is a solid emergency repair fund

Also not bright red, bonus.

Just spent the last 7 hours copying files to a remote drive, reinstalling Windows, downloading and reinstalling as many apps as possible, and syncing multiple emails to Thunderbird. Let alone explaining how you can't get Quicken or WordPerfect without the original disc or subscription options now. Than going through multiple examples of how you can use WordPerfect files in Word just fine.

I still have a lot to do, but at least this much is done... Now I get to spend all the time during the day that I should have been studying, now studying at night. Yay!
