Going to doctor to attend to infected elbow.
Morning Monkies! My parents sent me a Fitbit for Christmas but it did not have the features I wanted and was not water proof. I was going to return it and get some fancy gloves I saw yesterday. Instead I exchanged it for a Garmin that is water proof and has satellite tracking. It seems cool and has a lot of features for a reasonable price. I'm going to test it out on a hike along the river this afternoon.
I'm still waiting on a casette to complete my new wheel set. Maybe today.

Here. Swam 2250yds this morning 35:45 pace for race distance. With altitude benefit that should put me at around 33:00, so where I need to be. Bike pace has me as expected at 16.5mph for the distance on our local hilly routes, so that should increase to probably 17mph on a flat sea level course. I suck at running, so a 10:00/mile pace is the best I can assume I'll maintain. I'll be lucky to beat my Austin and Boulder paces, especially given I am struggling to hit all of my workouts because of life. Ugh. I don't think I'm going to sign up for another one of these (at least half distance) until Haley is a fully functional child.
Otherwise, work. I get to spend who knows how long trying to fix a corrupted Excel file. Ugh again.

We have a file that's current as of yesterday morning, it's just finding the source file is the problem. It's such a regularly used file that everybody opens it from quick link. Nobody knows where the original is located except one guy and he's on vacation...Just restore from backup.
What time you thinking? I need to pop into work from 11 to 130pm but likely free after, could possibly arrange to be free before. I'm around the rest of the weekend too.
It's good to see industries that are still ripe for improvements to IT process. Should keep me busy until my departure from the rat-race.
Rode this morning, we're back to frozen dirt, yay. Winter storm incoming - looks like little snow and some rain in coastal areas. Le sigh.

While waterproof, not ideal for swimming. $200 at Target compatible with both Russian and US satellites.
Sore, but not as bad as I thought I'd be. I take joy in that both the women folk seem to be much more hobbled than I am this morning. I guess all that running has been good for something. Probably spend the day soaking in various hot springs and/or drinking beer. Moar skiing tomorrow.
I have that one, and I think stoney got it as well. Approve.
I rode in in the 19 degree weather this morning. 'twas actually kind of nice. Very busy day ahead of me at work: understaffed on vacation week and very long worklist to start the day.
What 70.3 are you doing again? I've got three on my schedule for 2017, all Rev3 races. Not that I intentionally signed up for that brand, but that's what fit on the schedule (in order: Quassy, Williamsburg, Barrelman).
2500 yard masters swim before work at a slower-than-Stoney pace.
Morning Monkeys.
Blah day today, at least I found my sun glasses (I actually needed them yesterday). Should be a good day other than doing math. Motivation level -2.

Gave my bag lunch to a presumed homeless, gnarly looking guy at the off ramp. Turkey sandwich, brown mustard & pickle, apple, and protein drink. He was half through the sandwich before the light turned green.
The optical sensor doesn't work in the water, that's why. IIRC, you should be able to get the Tri or Swim chest strap if you want that information.
I looked at it, but ended up with the 735XT because of multisport. The Vivo doesn't allow for tri-mode, so it was either the Fenix or 735XT. I went 735 because I don't want the weight and didn't need all of the extra options on the Fenix.
It's actually a 70.4 (http://www.bayshoretriathlon.com/). I might do some Sprint and Olympic distance over the spring/summer though. While my swim is faster, you kill me on the run and bike. It's just these wookie arms.
I could place a Easter egg macro Rick Roll, but fixing stuff isn't my wheelhouse.
Cleaned the studio (living room). Gonna try tracking again. Spent some time yesterday working on EQ and DI sounds. Think I figured out what I wanted to figure out by stealing EQ plot ideas from some popular devices (thanks, Google Image Search).
Good on you Nick.
I see my mentally ill brothers face every time I look at a homeless dude.

Nice salary bump
Grrr... Ten days of antibiotics. So much for my internal microbiome...
Snowing some here, the stupid crew are throwing their cars in ditches all over the place. That or driving at a retardedly glacial pace.

if I was offered a salary of $2M I'd have a 3 or 4 year escape plan and check the fuck outta there.
best part of getting old and grouchy is realizing that I don't need much to be happy.

Right?
Stop, drop, and do the twitch.You don't need that kind of stress.
I can live like a cheap bastard. Buy a small place, stash 80% of it and be done in 2 years. But I am guessing they enjoy that sort of thing...
80% of it? That means you'd be spending $400K per year. You, sir, are no cheap bastard.

He's coming off a $200k salary. I meant 80% of take home.80% of it? That means you'd be spending $400K per year. You, sir, are no cheap bastard.
<edit>
Exactly.
I like money too...
My new crabon wheels have arrived so I will swap them out tonight and try to get 30 road miles in over the next few days.
Now I am going to make biryani for dinner and lunches this weekend.
