FTS starts early today, as usual. I didn't really sleep last night, gonna be an interesting day.
Secondary roads are sheet ice, wet snow falling.
'Morning. Wife is in Florida for five days, so it's just me, the dog, and the two cats. I have to adjust my schedule so the dog is not left alone for 12 hours all day.
I've got two races this weekend...a 10K Saturday that I will run hard, and a 17 miler Sunday that I will not run hard. $7 total in registration fees. Sweet!

Ride night. Looks like its going to be cold and possibly snowing.
Still in a tiff with one of the local bike clubs, who keeps having the trails (on public land) removed from TrailForks, including some that I've personally mapped out. Its a big area with many road crossings, so a map that shows your exact GPS point can be very handy. But nope, they refuse and say to use theirs; which requires you to not only find the map on their site, register and logon to it and in the end it doesn't even have GPS interactivity. Why would they not use an awesome tool that is completely free like TrailForks? Its not like these are some super uber secret private trails.....its all public?
Anyways..... Coffee it right meow.

Maine has been stuck in this weather pattern of Snow a little bit, then Rain a whole bunch and then freeze solid. Makes everything outside not nearly as much fun as it could be. Gonna stay soft this afternoon so I will go and ride it on my fat bike.
Corporate and a contractor will be here today. Finally going to renovate the office/clubhouse so that these college kids feel like they're back home in California but I got the new back flow installed for the spa and replaced all the cracked pipes that burst over the holidays!
is this at work?
Not working today. Dropping off middle kid at preschool then ferrying elder kid to private IQ testing, more or less. Then snow tires for the Tesla—went with Hankooks because realistically how many years will I have this for anyway? 
Morning Monkeys.
This wind is crazy. Found out I am extended until August, maybe longer. I would rather get converted, but a paycheck is nice in general.
Buddy just scored a rental minutes from Post Canyon and I am jelly. I hope the market stays afloat this summer and we can sell. I would love to relocate to the woods.

Upset tummy this morning. Had to drag my arse to work, and now I feel like chit. It was a slushy commute in, but at least the boys were good in getting ready and walking to school.
Are the trails unsanctioned?Ride night. Looks like its going to be cold and possibly snowing.

No, they are valid trails. Signed, marked etc etc.

Control freaks...Ride night. Looks like its going to be cold and possibly snowing.

honestly, it might be worth reaching out to the TF team and explain the situation... these are public trails and a private ride club is overstepping their bounds
Mornin!
While landscaping yesterday, I had a granite countertop remnant tip over and fall, edge first, onto then down my shin. That felt great. So did the hog of a splinter I got from the pickaxe that required some minor surgery to dig out of my finger.
On the move again today, then up to VT tomorrow. Gonna bring a blow up mattress so we don’t have to sleep in the camper when it’s -11F out.

My local Beer store has my favorite beer in the state in stock. Very rare for them to have it and I am stoked to buy some at lunch.
well?!?!
jelly. my local shop has been getting MBC consistently.
Yes. The spa pipes and back flow cracked while I was on vacation. And the other maintenance men I work with aren't cpo certified so they decided to not check on the hot tub for two weeks
Going to start working on installing the front receiver hitch on the black truck this afternoon. First order of business, take that ugly chrome fake push bar off the front end.
I am big fans of Lunch and Another One.
One of the owners of MBC is an avid cyclist. They sponsor a lot of trail work days and other cycling events close to their brewery.
yea i've been to their brewery a few times. it's a rad setup. i also like Mo and Peeper.
random story - when wife and i were in the hospital for the birth of our daughter (2017) there was a brick oven pizza place a block from the hospital. they randomly had peeper on draft. extra tasty.
i have been trying to cutback a bit too. tried wine (meh), tried G&T (not sure that 2 per night is any better than beer). So I switched to small cans. a local brewery cans their beer in small cans. their beer is good, so it's a win-win.
Someone just offered me 250 dollars for my antler knife I made.....
I have a couple more antlers I can use, guess I better start making more

I've all but quit drinking and I've not felt better in the longest time. Sleeping great, losing weight, mellow head. I'll still enjoy a beer or a wine from time to time, but my days of regular drinking are over.
