Friday, bitches!
I signed up for some OT tomorrow. Feels like about 70/30 that I don't go in.
Hello, beautiful friends. 2300 yard swim before work, after a 3000 yard swim last night. My shoulders were feeling the burn this morning. Bike ride tonight, but boy is the raining coming down right now.
The fridge sounds like an alien spacecraft this morning. time to call the repair guys. Taking the first sips of coffee, motivation factor is very low.
Morning! Rain. It's been very dry here for weeks, trails should be h.e.r.o. quality this evening.
Apparently a lightning hit one of the commuter rail switches so the morning commute was a little more entertaining shitshow than usual.

Mornin!
Actually slept last night, not well mind you, but not poorly. I'll consider that a win.
Now off to day 1 of a 3 day all-day no computer no cell phone training class. I predict serious boredom and day dreaming.

Mornin. wife's birthday today. she took the day off, and I'd like to as well but work is ridiculous. Managed to make it in early and got some good work done though, so maybe I will be able to at least join her for lunch. lobstah tonight!
Morning Monkies! There is sunshine on one end of town and a straight line of dark black clouds rolling In from the west. I'm off at noon so here hope against experience that this too shall pass in a manner convenient to me.
Good morning! In line for Heady, planning to install stairs to beach at camp, which involves winches, chains, rope, and a rock bar.
Mmmm.....Heady! Good luck with the stairs. If you ever need a hand with those things, let us know!
Morning. Supposed to rain so I am sneezy and stuffy....I could predict the weather just by waking up these days. Had a fun flute lesson this morning, but now I am brewing some more coffee and doing some paperwork. Yippie! My goal is to NOT bring any work with me this weekend!
please stop posting this unless you intend on sharing with the rest of us plebes

Smells like reefer to me.
Reefer I tell ya.
Or does skunk smell like coffee?
Holy shit is this day over yet?
Wull, if you had managed to get to Coopers or Allegrippis, you would have some now... I gave a four pack to a biker we met at Coopers...
had family in town this weekend.
Here's the salt in the wound: the fellow normally drinks Millers.
maybe for you.
Odds are now 100/0 in favor of not going in. I reached this conclusion by multiplying tomorrows potential workload by # of fucks I had left to give, and then divided by new dog at home + tomorrows forecast, to reach greater than 100%. Need to stock up on sweet vermouth for Manhattans on the way home.
Playing the new 5-string eviction cannon last night and loving it, when my neighbor sends me a text... Telling me it sounds pretty good.
Got the car back from the bodyshop having winter storm damaged repaired on Thursday.
It's now hailing golf balls....

Ahhh, Spring!
Blue skies to the west ... hero dirt with icebergs, right ahead!
edit: some hail from the deck, dime for scale ...

The weather here is the best. Raining cats and dogs, hail, thunder - the whole 9 yards. And it's bright blue sky and sun shining. All at the same time.
The weather around here cleared up enough for about an hour road beginning in 24 minutes. The wind is pretty light so it looks like I will escape the second coming today. Light rain now but no clouds overhead... no hail. Getting caught on a bike in the hail is the suck.
Was going to do a short road/dirt ride this afternoon, I'm thinking the dirt will be pretty nice after the moisture though so might go all dirt...
M y ride was all road, 15 miles in a little under an hour - for me that's a good afternoon wookout. The weather stayed clear with blue skies and clouds. No spandex was used in the process.
I did decide to leave on my winter tires but take them to 115 instead of the 70, the reduced contact patch ,are for some awesome speed but, sadly, no one took up the chase.

Got beer.
Got lumber.
Went to camp and started to tear into the shed porch to replace some rotted landing tread boards. Discovered that the fellow who built the porch used half pressure treated and half untreated lumber for joists and skirts. Guess it's back to the lumber yard tomorrow. Note: It's a bitch to unscrew Torx head screws that have been over driven and covered with paint.
Managed to get the galvanized steel/pressure treated wood steps from the seawall to the beach in place and secured without any disasters. It really helps in work like that not to have any onlookers or (not fully vetted) assistants.

Had I been available and in the vicinity I'm sure I could have been very helpful...
Dropped the Turner DHR frame off at the powder coating shop tonight. I was going to go with a very dark blue, but came out swinging and went with.....purple. Not Barney purple, but a dark purple, which to my feeble mind looked blue at first.
And due to a timing screw up, there is no ride tonight.
Front left strut on my car is clearly completely gone now and is feeling a little crunchy. Friday can't come fast enough, when we put the Bilstein's back on. And then timing belt on Saturday. Friggin' dollars just flying out my asshole.

Did you make a right on a red light in the city?

8.5 miles this evening. Then late chores in town - thank god there are pubs with Lagunitas IPA on tap there. 
black skies overhead and hail starting to fall ...
Diversions aplenty when I left the airport this afternoon. It's not summer until half of a given days DIA arrivals wind up here.
Got vermouth. My evening is now rad.

May or may not have drifted the company rental Jeep Cherokee down the dirt roads of Labrador City at 60/70 km/hr. In my defense I have no idea what km/hr means.
I just wanted to see how hard I had to drive it to make it break traction.
