Shit if I know, clear snow off solar arrays...
Mornin!
Gotta do a bit of picking up around here. It's a bit of a mess.

Is it a big deal to clear off your array? Or can you reach up with a roof rake and do a pretty good job of it? Not sure how quickly those panels will self clear without intervention, but it had me wondering if they make defrosting kits to ensure the panels stay free.
39" in 48hrs at my local hill, which didn't even open yesterday, and all I want to do is walk for pancakes.
FTS, imma go ski.
coffee, help fam get off on time to nephews bday party in ashevegas, work event, trailwork
Holy fu#^ing white out conditions on the way home. Big rig was 300 yard gain front of me, both bbn rolling at about 18mph.... his tracks were gone maybe 40 yards behind him.......
I-70 W is crawling in the distance past Genesee.

I am sitting in my condo watching the local Denver news. Holy shit with that ski traffic already! 
They are also warning of large crowds and lift lines at the mountains. We're headed to the airport in a few minutes. I am tired and happy.

I'm already at the ski are. The pluses of skiing at uncool ski areas I guess. Roads were in pretty good shape. Full moon across South Park, was really beautiful.
Until the back side of Trout Creek pass when I hit the fucking deer.
Dude. Fucking deer...I'm already at the ski are. The pluses of skiing at uncool ski areas I guess. Roads were in pretty good shape. Full moon across South Park, was really beautiful.

I'm still shattered. And now I'm hungover, too. Still worth it.
Beautiful day. Can't ride re: commitments but have some time in the garage...lots of moto and pedal bike stuff to do...
Rebuilt my 20-year-old Park pump first and it's a breath of fresh air. (See what I did there?)
Went to change rubber on the Turner's ancient Mavic ust downhill rims (heavy tires are too much for local trails...) and dear god, never seen a bead seated like this Minion. Hands in pain but made it happen. Then decided while the tire was off to try and true out the massive wobble in the front wheel just a little. Currently nursing misshappen nipples with oversized spoke wrenches and taking out the rim/nipple interface cups to slather on anti-seize.
Now just summoned to stand by while wife showers without the walking boot on in the event of a mishap... Nowhere near the fun of what showering with a spouse should be, but sucks for her...she's trooping through this.

A roof rake does it, save that there's a half inch of ice on them today.
Your panels are on the house or a free standing array?
I loved FR. Only "celebrity" death that's ever hit home. I know its cliche, but as bad as I struggled with depression there for a while, Scott's music really helped me through a bad time. His loss really hurt.
Edit:. In retrospect, the Mastersystem album should have been a warning. Shit was dark. Fantastic, but dark.

Eating at WP now. Somehow forgot to put a second pair of socks in my bag so I got to buy a $30 pair today. Drive from Frisco Safeway lot to WP was easy, but the road was sloppy. CDOT is clearly focusing on Westbound 70. Berthoud was a 2.5 lane road most of the way.
Just finished reading Galapagos and now I have the sads. Hopefully there will be a ride in the afternoon and the trails aren't too muddy.
Free standing
It's gutted and in the trunk right?I'm already at the ski are. The pluses of skiing at uncool ski areas I guess. Roads were in pretty good shape. Full moon across South Park, was really beautiful.

slept in, drinking coffee, gonna ride dirt. wife wants me to bathe our rescue dog, my nose agrees. sometime this afternoon I have to throw my med gear into the camper and head off to tomorrows EMT standby
Guess it makes it easier to clean?
Yeah, I use a snow rake. Ice becomes a problem.
That cover was impressive.
Speaking of covers...
The one I just finished is very silly in comparison, which was sorta the point.

It wasnt a huge amount, I'd rather have it wiped out and deal with that. It's not like I'll be bumped into another tax bracket.
That’s not how tax brackets work! Also paying marginal rate x $ABC is far less than earning (1.0 + marginal rate) x $ABC to pay that debt with after tax money.
In other news I am cooked today. Just over 3h to Copper this morning and 8,000 vert under my tired legs. On a day like today one must ski the bumps, and that shit is tiring, yo. Enchanted Forest also remains steep.
Copper’s reported snow total was 15” so it passes your 8” long pole or else don’t bounce purity test.
Ok, let's do this again...
Let's say tax brackets are as follows:
$0-25k - 10%
$25-75k - 20%
$75-150k -35%
If you make $100k:
$25k*10% = $2500
$50k*20% = $10k
$25k*35%=$8750
Your total tax liability is $21250, or an effective date of 21.25%. Your bracket is 35%, but rate is 21.25%.
Capiche?
Riding was not very pleasant. Cold, windy, more wet than expected. Good workout but lacking on the fun side.
16 miles and 1500 vertical feet of dirt today in just a tee shirt and shorts....effing glorious. Beer and BBQ coming up next. Oh and the bike performed flawlessly thanks to the wrench at Livermore Cyclery 
Went to the Community Center and helped my new friend Amy with Her Senior Citizen Nutrition class. It was fun. I had some 1 on 1 technique demonstrations. I tried to teach them about knife Sharpening and the importance of keeping their knives sharp. I just ended up sharpening everyone's knives which distracted from the event sadly. Elderly Jewish Ladies love me for some reason? Somebody at the event had awful BO. We never figured out who. I made BO jokes. I had them in stitches...
