How are you holding up, dude? You doing okay? How's your wife (assuming it was her mum)?
Wife is going through many grieving phases. Mostly sadness, anger and a lot of misplaced culpability. Today was better than yesterday.

edit, oh and thanks for asking. :)

I had to go to My Friend Carols house and fix Her Fire Escape. It was a little more then I could handle. She had to help me. I am going to break some Rules and have Lunch with her tomorrow.

Now that's a poetic expression! :panic: :brows:

Fuck this week. :mad:
Well it was kind of chilly out. She had a wife beater on. Its been a while. I was polite. I literally fixed Her Fire Escape. Pulling up the chain 3 floors was quite the endeavor. 3/4 of the way I ran out of steam. I was stuck. Thank god I had the foresight to empty the counter weight box. I was distracted to say the least... Dropped the Makita Grinder in a huge puddle. Its dead. Needs a new cord. I still have the Milwaukee...

I have no idea where I am
went out for a small hike. nothing else to report.
What do you mean, "nothing to report"? Are you on crack ? Some of us currently have no place to hike. Tell us moar, damnit ! Was it hilly ? Were there rocks and roots ? Were the trees turning green ? Got pics ? Was it a wide trail or a beautiful, narrow ribbon of dark brown dirt winding through a lush green forest ?

Come on man, don't be a Trail Tease.

Buddy used to have access to a cottage right near Rasberry. Good times. I actually haven’t ridden Wilson’s in a few years.

Not bad. Prime's better than nothing, I guess.

:D
I asked the wife to see if they had a brisket. She calls me from Costco asking what I want. They had Choice there for five something a pound and she says the ones that say Prime are $3.49. Confused at first, but I'll take it. Going to drop one off for my parents tomorrow, cook one this weekend and freeze the other two.
