Todays project after the wifes crap is to organize my reclaimed tool shelves before she puts more of her crap back into them, then fix two leaky sprinkler heads ( we need rain ).

Cleaning up the basement as we will start renovation of the basement next week which is really the last part of the inside of the house and then when spring arrives finish off with the brick work outside so we will basically be done. Pretty exciting. If I need more to do there is plenty of small jobs and my favorite part the garden so not running out of jobs.
Currently 75 and sunny, loading up the fam and heading to the beach.
Haven’t had a sip of booze since the 30th, unsure how long I’ll keep it up, but no soda and no booze makes for some seriously limited beverage options

Hello, lovelies. Slept a shit ton last night and then rode the bike trainer for 75 minutes. Currently looking for a cookie recipe to make this afternoon.
I am approaching 10 years since my last sip of booze.

went looking for some old paperwork, found an envelope...
anyone remember who made these back in the day??
IIRC these maybe come to me in a SS package.

Here. Back from the mountains. Awesome day; lots of runs. Wifey was comfortable paralleling me on groomers (vs. me staying on same run), so I was able to dart in and out the trees and bumps the whole time. 3-4" of new snow, which was a nice little later to have for new tracks.
And we have a large gathering of mouth breathing morons replete with Brodozers and Trump flags in downtown Livermore today. PD is keeping close tabs on them....
rode. was a bit colder than i thought it would be. kinda wished i'd brought gloves and a flannel instead of long sleeve jersey and no gloves. but it wasn't too bad. even snowed on us a bit. good times on the dirt. now making chili and grabbing a beeeeeer.
Came across a stash of the same vintage decals earlier this year. No idea who made them...

And they decided to disperse when they realized that the PD was not going to put up with any BS. Might be that the SWAT van pulled up and it got though to their pea brains.
And once again it appears we have missed out on a house. Submitted our offer a mere 4 hours after showing, but apparently that's too late. 
When S and I were looking we went to an open house right near the bottom of Lookout Mtn, near 58. We got there as the open house started and heard the realtor telling someone there was already an offer $30k over asking.And once again it appears we have missed out on a house.

When you find somewhere make sure it has space for a camper in the driveway when we get around to a NE roadtrip!
Related, we have an appraisal ordered as I believe our house value has gone up enough to get rid of the bullshit PMI we're paying (put 15% down). Realtor friend of ours (exempt from previous shady declaration) did a quick appraisal using the MLS tools he has access to to give us a ballpark, and estimated our value has gone up $75-100k since we bought it 3 years ago. Seems like a stretch, but I wouldn't be disappointed.
Knowing the approximate time the 6th’s bought their place, and having lived here for a while, I can pretty confidently say that it’s not bullshit. And actually, I’m surprised it was only $30K over asking.
Two houses we've put in offers on have gone for 14% (50K) and 8% (25K) over asking. We'll see what happens with this one.
At the rate we are going, you can come park your mobile home in the driveway of ours.
The worst is all the cash buyers you have to contend with. Many houses that sold while we were looking, many in the ~$500k range, were being bought over asking price in cash.
Hard to compete with that if you aren't a doctor, finance guy or sOcIaL iNfLuEnCeR.

What's your machine again? I've been getting better about backflushing regularly, but we have a water softener so I can go a little longer on descales.
You should get an espresso machine
Turns out being an anti-social influencer doesn't pay a whole lot.
I should make a point of getting the first showing when a new house hits the market, then sneak one of these into the basement, drenched in blood.
The irony is all my accountant/finance/trader acquaintances are always needing my hands on car/house help fixing their Mercedes and $1mil+ Boston condos
I need to start charging the fuckers....

I'd rather work for it and not have my health fucked, though.
I'll fuck it on my own plenty well.
Visiting my parents with the kids. Rode bikes today. Cold n frozen, a few spots with leaves that were soft. Light snow started when I got to the trailhead, really picked up halfway through the ride. Made appropriate clothing choices for the conditions and didn't get cold. Even remembered a spare pair of gloves to change, first pair got soggy about 2/3 into the ride. Was nice finishing the ride with warm dry hands. And tasty beers.
True, PPIIITTTT VIIIPPPEEEEERRRRR
+rep for that Maine Beer Co
but what's up with that stem? is that a custom?
