Dog poop free, so far.
I bet the engine change will still happening when I get to work, which is a whole different kind, yet equally terrible, pile of shit.

Woke up with a deer tick attached to my left armpit...
I got nuthin' .... have a great day.
Saw Coco last night. Incredible for a Disney flic. Kiddo was bawling at the tears parts...good to know he has emotions.
The 20 minute Frozen short was excruciatingly bad...

Did you go riding yesterday?
'Morning. I took the tri bike out for a 21 mile jaunt around town. It's 35 degrees out but I managed to stay pretty warm. Wife bought me some awesome Gore windblocker pants. Thanks to my recent marathon training cycle, my bike fitness has gone all to hell. It's nice to be pedaling again.
Performing tonight. Sold out the space. This sound bath project has been really quite good. We will be in Oakland in early January. Jut sayin.
Smoked a chicken for Football. I used apple and cherry wood I scrounged up. I brined it and put it on for the required time. Came out all dried out and not so good. Tasted funny too....
I had an okay ride this evening but I am not sure how happy I should be about my HR having been pegged to the red line for 32% of the time. I guess I am a bit sick.
Setting up the rollers as it is sleeting out.
Pain cave!

Missing the point of the simple enjoyment of riding, perhaps...
No worries, plenty of fun and air was had. Some days, you just cannot catch a breath and today was like that.
Got a sitter and went to see Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri with my wife. Really good movie. Really nice to get out with her. Was filmed in Pisgah I think. Makes me want to ride there even more!
Went for a ride today. Warm, and a mix of sun and cloud. So nice to get out for a quiet, unpainful ride. À bit muddy in places, but good overall.
Got home and some friends were over with their kids. Had lunch and went to the pool with my two boys, my friend and one of his kids. We went to the university pool as my local pool is closed for seasonal cleaning. It was awesome: there's a diving tower, bubbles, a diving board, a rope swing, a water slide, a warm kiddie pool, swim lanes (and lots of fit university students...
) we will be going back!
Had a great beer and chicken is almost done. Almost time for a second beer. Great Sunday overall.

today was a work on shit around the house day, We got a lot done. Trees trimmed, last of the motion detector porch lights installed, replaced the outside dryer exhaust vent cover, lawn mowed, Took a lot of not worn but almost new condition clothing to St Vincent DePaul Warm Jackets, Pants, Shits and windbreakers.Then I hit the local outdoor store for some new gear. Amazon for some tourniquets and quick clot for my med bags ( new county EMS requirement) and for me some new bike tires for the Colnago. Leftovers for dinner
Your wood may have been contaminated or you brined it too long. If it tasted more like ham than chicken, then you definitely brined it too long. Small yard birds only need a few hours tops, not like turkeys which require brining over night.
Got a late afternoon lap in at Thuper Awethum. Would loved to have gone somewhere further and hillier on my only day off this week, but I needed rest after working 15 hr days. Next week should be about the same.
We adopted a cat for the bongshed. Mouse problem got out of hand. Woodpile was full of chipmunks also.
Roasters from Tops. Should have gone to Wegmans and got a $5 rotiserie chicken.
Fixed a gate, snows on two cars, garage functionally organized, workbench situated, locks changed, kitchen faucet changed, washer/dryer worked on, handicap ramp removed, and the baby room is ready. Go a bunch done this weekend and it feels like I didn't get shit done.
Wifey bought a replacement kitchen faucet because the pullout sprayer wasn't retracting all of the way. I didn't have a chance to look at it before she did such, so I just went along with it. Just a cheap and easy option - $70 off Amazon and it matches. Total PITA to get it installed, but I got it done in an hour or so. After I get it installed, I can see the manufacturer of the one I took out. It's Kohler and it's a $1000 faucet. It just needs a larger replacement weight for the sprayer to retract on its own. I took the weight off the new one just to test my theory and it retracts fine with the added weight. :facepalm: The removed faucet will be staying in the garage until the replacement fails.
Also Haley's sick and has been all weekend. Guess I'm staying home tomorrow and working on things here.

I tried selling one of those antiques on Craigslist. (Yeti 575) I couldn't even get an offer that would cover the cost of the kinda cheap fork I put on it. Guess I'll keep it and ride it once a year with you guys.
I told you that would happen if you didn't put out...
