Hey look! It's snowing sideways! Just in time to start my workweek!
Still waiting for a morning without frost... That said, jackets are becoming unnecessary.
Hello.
I was forced out bed this morning and now I'm sitting here wondering what to do. I think I might go wash the car, get a hair cut and then go hiking.
Need to also stop at the bike shop to see where the reducers are for my shock. Need to ride already!

Somebody sure thinks so. Cancel all the flights! It's a god damn scheduling disaster here right now, and it's liable to get worse.
Coffee, then go get my new Minions dirty. this afternoon its off to the Archery shop and then over to bass pro. Yes I have the day planned for minimal contact with my visiting mother in law.
Power has been out all morning, which means I still have not received any coffee.
This is not a good start to my day.

Did some safety third live wire lighting fixture replacement this morning. Thinking of heading out to ride some farther from home trails but wondering if it is worth it with a sore back.
Power out after zero accumulation...I fear for the north end of town once snowpocalypseageddon truly gets underway.
Had that yesterday, all the mountains are now pretty white and I predict green everywhere by Wednesday.

I don't believe you've been here too long, but storms seem to follow about 12-16 hours after when the forecast says.
I walked into town go hit up the diner for coffee and breakfast. Guess who else didn't have power?
(I'm not a bright man)
Found a coffee shop that had juice, had a fantastic ham & potato breakfast burrito and coffee, walked home to find my power back on. Boosh.
I am basically toast today so no ride, even on pavement. What I do need to do is clean out my bike rolly chest which has become covered with cans and bottles of stuff. It took me almost 20 minutes to find a 3mm hex wrench to put the bars on my new bike. This morning I could not find my chain tool but I know its in there. I'm pretty sure most of what in there is garbage... I have unused tubes so old they will never hold air.

Success. I emptied half the contents straight to the dumpster. I seem to buy a lot of battery jumbo packs that I never fully use. 3 shock / fork pumps, I knew I had 2. No chain tool.

Just got back for 3 hour mtb ride. My bike is so damn dail its so brilliant. All the small refinements are felt on the trail I had so much fun. One thing I noticed today was how much better I can get the bike in the air which is always fun times. Finished off with a good lunch and beer.
Off to Dallas tomorrow.

Sorry but that's unpossible.
Ha too funny, seriously almost zero accumulation by me. Maybe an inch in some spots, but it's melting on most surfaces still.
If I was stuck in Dallas for 5 days, you god damn well better believe I'd be looking to hang myself from something.
Most of our accumulation is well on it's way to Raton at this point.
No precipitation here, but likely to have a .25" of pine pollen accumulation by morning.
geez-ours is about done. bout time to was the car, finally.
Yup.
sounds like someone's headed to benny's
86* here, rode dirt, shot arrows, went to bass pro, and now BBQ in the back yard
"Is that a #dentistland or do you ride like a pussy?"

looks cold. i'm out.
Got behind some slow poke who decided to merge onto the Highway at 30 mph, which freaks me the fuck out. I gunned it and whipped around him, catching the attention of a Sheriff's deputy. I explained what happened and he let me off with a written warning and some sound logic. He did say that there is unfortunately no law against going too slow on an on ramp.
Got a lazy sub two hour ride in after that.

That's why horns and gestures are so handy.
Nice flow trail.
Kidding! That looks like fun terrain!
Next time try pointing the view a bit farther out, not so much staring at your tire.
NASCAR style advertising on the bars...Nice flow trail.

Looked at future house today. Pretty exciting to see muddy mtbers riding home past my new home post-ride...
Might sneak out for a ride late tomorrow after I earn my "good hubby" points earlier in the day. I plan to get my older kid out on his bike and the younger one on my bike (ibert) for some practice pedalling.
I am missing out on a kickass group ride, but, such is life. Not all bad, I guess.

All the Ginseng in my little plot has been affected by the late spring frost/snow. Ramps are fine. DEC boat at the fishing spot pulling apart the Beaver Dam sadly. Baby Beavers were fun to watch. I could feel the sun for the first time this year. Considering going back out..... My bike is ready. Just need more Stans... New tires, pedals, shoes, brake pads, hub service. Need Fox blue stuff to finish the job.
