Holy winds! Barely slept last night. Time to go shovel snow.
Supposed to be flying for work this evening, waiting to see if I can make it to the airport through the snow. Then wondering if the flight will go.
Twenty degrees when I got up this morning. Coffee has been consumed.
I hear there's alot of snow out west - 60s here (I would rather some snow)
ahhhhhh...sunny and 50. kids off to school, me off to work, coffee in hand. planning friday mtn ride/leaf surf. is it friday yet?
nothing of worth to report.
bowling league last night. been rolling above average last few games. which isn't saying much since my average is an 84. but i've been consistently above 100, so there's that. went out for wings afterwards. got home late, basically straight to bed. was too lazy to stop for gas on the way home after wings, so had to fill a bit from a jerry can. hands smell like gas now. oops.
kid is still sick. diarrhea thurs-sun, now a head cold. mother in law is up to lend a hand, which is helpful.
still waiting to hear from HR. clock is ticking.

Is that a Konabumm sighting???
'Morning. 4 mile jog before work. After last night's swim, my lungs felt tight and I had a hard time sleeping due to labored breathing. Not the first time that's happened after a swim. So, time to call the doc! I think I got the black lung, pop. Google says I need an inhaler.

Candlepin?
Morning.
Hotel breakfast is 60% salt. I can't eat this crap.
And why can't I get a decent cup of coffee?

nope. standard 10 pin. i really just go to hang out with friends and drink.
Sounds like you've got the bowling thing all figured out.
pretty much. my average has been going up this season. i've never been much of one for sports that involve spheres. put me on some wheels and tell me to go fast, that i've got.
36°outside, flannel pjs rock. coffee then off to short bus land

Well that was a dud. 5-9" over night my ass. Put away your Pinkbike rulers.
having a hard time acknowledging that I'm back at the [cube] farm, and not riding bikes in AZ. On the plus side, the renos are coming along. Hardwood floors and slate have been installed. Kitchen cabinets are being delivered today and installation will begin. Then paint, then finishing touches on electricity and plumbing. It sucks that you can't order kitchen counters before the cabinets are in, but it is what it is I guess.... Now we need to decide: Lapitec, Quartz or Granite. I prefer the look of granite, and it's cheaper. I don't really get why this is an issue...
Oh, and no ride this week, it's parent-teacher night... maybe post parent teacher beer and wings will be in order.

Boooo, no snow here...yet. I'm ready to ski. Guess I'll ride today instead. Tonight I'm meeting some friends for a winter beer tasting. Happy Tuesday!
Well well well, looks like a good morning so far, coffe in, poop out, kiddo is following suit after his milk, time to try and sleep some more before shift.
The corporal testing and homework is rather tedious but unlike being in school because I have to, I have a goal and reason to complete the tasks. I am up against two others for the position, think I am going to do well.

Couldn't. Garage had 3 feet of snow piled up against it and wouldn't open. I spent 45 minutes clearing the driveway. I'm the only person from the north side of town who made it into the hangar this morning.
Also, hauled my french press out of the tool box to make a cup of coffee. Epic poop is brewing already.
///M with snows > FWD with all-seasons. Took me almost an hour to get in this morning. My normal commute is 23min. Had some near stuck moments, but made a point of carrying momentum up any hills. I should have driven to the airport yesterday to steal Wifey's car.
Why is only one car covered in crap? Its a conspiracy!
Good morning. I arrived late to work this morning because I received some panic calls from one building before I had a chance to leave. Its always fun trying to deal with shit early in the morning, when you're barely awake.
Its time to go find some coffee and eat this apple.
I think its about time to book a Whistler trip for next fall. Gotta break that cherry at some point.
50 and sunny. Foothills are snowy. I think that last gulp was mostly grounds but should provide roughage to aid digestion.
Heh. We only got 4"... WTF?Couldn't. Garage had 3 feet of snow piled up against it and wouldn't open. I spent 45 minutes clearing the driveway. I'm the only person from the north side of town who made it into the hangar this morning.
We had an easy 6-7".
Any car with snows > FWD with all-seasons. For propulsion an AWD with all-seasons will often beat a FWD with snows, but everything else will be worse. And often MUCH worse.
That said - still have never run snows on the Subaru.
It was an abysmal drive it. As for snows on the Subie - DO IT! You become a hero.
It doesn't get driven any more. Currently needing a new battery, tires, registration, and a teenager to get old enough to drive it. Truck needs new tires, too.
What the hell? Didn't you just buy the truck less than a year ago?It doesn't get driven any more. Currently needing a new battery, tires, registration, and a teenager to get old enough to drive it. Truck needs new tires, too.
We got about 5" of slushy, disgusting snow. I set my alarm early, shoveled the courtyard path out as well as to each house's steps (noting the footprints of lazy dog owners who didn't shovel shit for anyone else, let alone their own walkway), cleaned off part of one of the nice neighbor's car, and cleaned off my Land Cruiser.
Land Cruiser + Nokians == possibly the ideal vehicle for this weather. I was driving out of the grooves intentionally and there were a few loose moments. Fun. My usually 7 minute-per-Google Maps commute probably took me 10 this morning--tough life.

Afternoon.
I wouldn't mind some snow here either! Taking a group of 80 students out to march in our annual holiday parade this weekend. Yes, I am crazy and am consuming some sugar now so I can keep up!

27,000 miles on it. And yeah... these tires suck. I guess the silver lining is that they have pretty much sucked since new, so now I have an excuse to get some decent tires... but... fuck these tires.
Heh. I didn't even have to put it in 4wd even with the bald-ish tires until I got to the business park - for the last 1/2 mile to the office. This storm was teh suck.
E-mail popped up that a package I have been waiting for was delivered. No sign of it outside. A quick tour of the neighborhood showed a package on a neighbors porch. Quick commando mission showed it was indeed addressed to me . Walked out of there with it under my arm like I owned it (I do own it). Hopefully no surveillance equip.
i once had a bunch of brewing stuff delivered to another street in my neighborhood. i called UPS. while they were investigating, said neighbor just swung by my house and dropped off the package. didn't get to meet them, but they were awfully kind to do that.
