Excavation contractor is supposed to show up this morning to begin creating a flat spot for the camping trailer.

@dan-o sorry to hear.
Now that I've pooped and had some coffee, its time to load my bike and crap in the car to go to this local bike jam thing. Do I bring strawberry or blueberry jam? I know it'll be some dudes on DH bikes, but I'm bring the trail bike as I don't feel like hike-a-biking. Perhaps the group can split and do a loop around the other trails.
Either way, its been raining over night and its chilly outside, so them rootz are going to be balls slippery.

Condolences, dan-o. Are you in town for any length of time? We are trying to organize shuttle-shenanigans for a weekday this week and would be fun to have you come along.
what @stevew said. condolences.
rode this morning-short ride on in-town trails. these are more about east coast roots than rox, but there are a few jumps scattered along the way to keep things fun. it was my third ride this week. there must be some sort of rift in the time-space continuum.
must find source of rattle on my bike. it's driving me nuts.
I appreciate it but I'm in Detroit as thats where my dad's buried.
I'll be back out that way again soon to deal with her house.
Both brothers live out there too so a monkey connection will happen sooner or later.
Sorry to hear, Dan-o. I dread that time. Wife's father has been diagnosed with some sort of leukemia and at age 85, the outlook is not good. *sigh*
Rode the wicked ride today, co-lead a clinic forintermediate mostly total beginner riders and it was wicked wet and slippery. Why total newbs always overestimate their skills?

dan-o, really sorry to hear about your mom. That truly does suck. 
I raced today (3 mile run, 11 mile bike, 2 mile run)....my hamstring seized up a quarter mile into the friggin race, so I spent the entire race toeing the line between pushing the effort and blowing up my hammy. I did what I could, racing in pain. The race took 1:09:42. I finished 15th overall and 4th in my age group. Hopefully the aching hamstring will settle down quickly.
wife went into full "we've got to move everything around/get organized/get rid of things" mode...at like 4:00, but then also proceeded to second guess many of the things i wanted to toss. also, this is a more than one afternoon undertaking, meaning that it looks like even more of a mess now than when we started. 
i need many beers.

Why in the world?
Wife and I got up high at 11650ft with a great ride on the Colorado Trail, Kenosha Pass up to Georgia Pass and then back down the alternative West Jefferson trail. First time I'd been on the Jefferson stretch, damn that was fun.

why indeed!
I cooked for some really nice people today. Everything just clicked. No Pumpkin was made. I had fun...
cold wet windy day doing the EMT Standby gig. at least I came home with $500 for just being there. I did walk a total of 16 miles for exercise over the past two days so there is that.
Another ride today... 3-Sisters. Goddam are those rocks and roots fun.
And yeah, @6thElement - W Jefferson is a holelotta fun. Was it wet 'n' slippery?

Jam session. So good.
New compressor is lovely.
Robotic synth noises and West African drum samples are fun.

How much snow do you get on the internet?Snow blower internet shopping.
He's riding his snowblower to the store to buy an internet.
I gots some internets you can have for pretty cheap.
One or two muddy spots near stream crossings, but no snow up top at all. Biggest issue was downed trees on the CT and Jefferson trail - a whole bunch of them.
Just a good old fashioned rocky, rooty descent.
Yah - downed trees is going to become more and more of an issue over the next decade as all those old, beetle-killed victims start coming down.
I'm curious if/when the *spruce* beetle makes it up to our neck of the woods what sort of mayhem that's going to create...
