W.T.F... 12° F this morning. Seeking motivation to venture out.
Waiting on da coffee to be ready, dogs waiting on breakfast.

resting heart rate is now 49 bpm down from 70 when i was at 275#

Morning Monkies, it's raining so no ride before work. More,sleep.
'Morning. Looks like I missed quite the basketball game last night. It's been fun this morning watching the clips online of the players and fans completely losing their shit.
Did the Pistons beat the Celtics?
man do i wish it was fuckit tuesday....
There were no NBA games last night. You should know this.
Mornin'.
A couple days of spring skiing behind me.
Now t's time to get back to the grind and watch the world burn.

I wish I could have made it. Fantastic plastic is fantastic?
If it wasn't clamped to a stand I'm afraid it might have floated away. So light.
Also, got some tools to do Deutsch DT connectors. I greatly appreciate their cleanliness in making connections.
Half a pot of coffee in and I just want to take a nap
Morning. Stupid winter finally arrived.....5-6" of snow and it was 5....5 FREAKING DEGREES this morning. I'd love to ride my fatbike in the snow instead of on the ice, but I have NO time this week and the rain comes on Thursday 
Off to assist with state tests...yeah.

It would seem from the data that you will be getting fucked about 20 times.
any day is a fuck day it if you are thinking right.
titty bit niply outside right now....only supposed to get to 60...
My new grill was delivered last night. Had to sell my double chariot and some old mid-century modern shelving I had lying around in the basement in order to break even on it. I'm quite stoked. Looking forward to grilling burgers on it tonight.
That should offset the pain on not going out for a ride with the boys tonight, which might be the last opportunity to ride my new bike on snow till next winter. but the lungs just can't hack it. (see what I did there!?) I woke up this morning with a fit of coughing that made my bronchi hurt. The congestion in my nose just won't go away despite rinsing with saline 2x/day, and the hacking cough is painful. I think it's best not to ride and rest up in advance of solo-parenting next week while my wife is in Paris....

Here. Just found out that the XTerra I signed up for in June is not a sprint distance (500yd swim/8 mile mtb / 5k), but an Olympic (.5 mile swim/16 mile bike/10k). I really need to train, as I was planning on a sprint and training accordingly... So Nick, FT, Adventurous if you guys feel like riding, I'm probably game.
@Adventurous stopped over and helped me get started on building my new ex–girlfriend. Finished her up about 2:30 AM… I am not a fast bike builder, but I'm really confident she won't fall apart. You guys, so black. Meet Felicia.
I did some home-improvement this past weekend by mounting a bike repair stand to the fence on my patio.

Part of the dentist thing...You need that as a motivation to ride bikes?
No. It's about making time. When you don't have very much, things fall off. Most of my time is accounted for.You need that as a motivation to ride bikes?
My life:
5:00am Wake up
5:00-7:00am Work on CFP study or swim, eat breakfast, get ready for work.
7:00am-6pm Commute, work, commute, pick up Haley, get home
6pm-7pm Dinner, Haley shower
7pm-10pm Work on CFP study or bike/run, chores around the house
10pm Hopefully get to sleep
I don't have a lot of free time, so getting time to ride means something else gives. On the weekends I have a bit more flexibility, but not much. Most of my life gets done on Saturday, which only leaves me Sunday's to do rides. Wonders of having a kid with an active social life and activities.
It's nothing compared to the guys with multiple kids in [insert sports] or Toshi for example, but time is a valuable thing and sometimes just sitting on your ass watching F1 at 5am with a beer is totally worth it.
We should totally ride on some Sunday coming up. Been too long, man.

Hello.
Why was it -10 this morning? Did winter wake up drunk?
Working with a shitheel co-worker today. I need a map of the building we are in, to do a survey, but he "doesn't have time for that". No map means I either hodgepodge this together or don't do it at all.
I also asked him about some other trouble he has been having, along with some basic troubleshooting questions. He doesn't have time to do troubleshooting or at the very least, answer my questions.
I want to solve the problems, I really do. But his solution is to just replace the equipment. Umm, yeah sure go do that, but I am guessing it won't solve the problem. It took everything I had to not walk out of the building at that point.
Back to work now that I've downed this delicious spinach salad and even more delicious Pink Lady apple.

Howdy all. Academic day, so coding and writing and perhaps some more of both. I started out at a relaxed pace, at least: dropping kid off at preschool, taking car 1 to carwash, then taking car 2 to carwash before ambling into my office. Brain needed a respite.
Once it dries out I'm game, as long as it's not NTM. There is no positive aspect of NTM. Maybe H&O this weekend?
In-laws water heater is blowing fuses in redundant fuse box. Like everyday. Box gets hot and is sketch. I replaced the heating elements, no fix. Unit is less than a year old. Tonight I am going to trash the fuse box and install a receptacle/plug and see if the issue is the fuse box. They're gonna burn this house down pretty soon it seems.
Gonna be on the front range tomorrow, visiting a few customers. Don't plan on going south of Longmont. What's the word on rail trails/greenways? Have my bike but can't play in dirt...

I could say for sure for that far north, but it's been sunny and dry down here for days. Unless it's deeply shaded and on the north side, should be good to go.
Another day in the revolving door.
why would we do this?NTM is better than Green Mtn.
Not "riding" per se, but I went over to the Golden Bike Park yesterday. Holy balls has that place been reworked over the winter. If any front rangers want to meet for post-work twilight jump sessions I'm down to clown.
Yeah what's with all this white crap? I been needing to mow my lawn back home for weeks...
No worries, I ain't training for anything and just want to stretch my legs out. Been riding in cars a lot the last few days... I really don't want to get into the heart of the range, rather stick to the northern edges so I can escape quickly.
My thoughts exactly... I just simply can't go for that. No can do.
Who the FUCK rides NTM? I've lived here for almost 25 years and NEVER EVER EVER even CONSIDERED riding NTM.
Except that one time they did it during the P2P. But I was busy and couldn't attend.
So fuck NTM.
I got my package btw. Wifey was very confused as to why random people were sending me things. Much appreciated!
H&H my bad.
