Still cold and sunny.
COLD AS DICKS OUTSIDE. I need to run a bunch of miles and it is 0 degrees. Currently sitting on the couch with coffee while the old dog keeps coming over for pets.
11F. Still no measurable snow here.
Ground has the most frost we’ve had in years.
Contemplating a gravel ride, but will more than likely wuss out and ride zwift.
6 year old birthday party this afternoon. Glad I’ve got my booster

Already 40 freedums, doesn't look like it got below freezing anywhere nearby last night so snow conditions for fat biking will be poop.
Either a long "gravel" aka adventure ride on the rigid 29er or indoors staring at a screen. I shall ponder for a while.

Cold again but getting warmer. Not quite enough time to go for a ski with the boys ahead of dose 2. So they sit in the house like beasts in a cage...
I went for my shakedown ride yesterday on the multi use path along the river that gets groomed for skiing (fatbiking is permitted). Felt pretty shit. My fitness is shit, and it felt unnatural to be on a bike. This is the first time in my life (aside maybe from when I first learned to ride) that I felt that way. I was pretty bummed yesterday, that wasn't how I envisioned my first ride going. But in retrospect, the first ride on a fatbike always feels weird, and I may have been overdressed for the weather. Breathing through a fleece buff isn't great.
Still, there's lots of work yet to be done before I get back to normal...

Knee continues to improve but being laid up for three days is getting old. At first it was actually sort of nice to recover and relax after a hectic and exhausting xmas break but now even after doing some stretching but I feel the lethargy is creeping in. Need to do something to flex my body a bit more.
as I sit here at age 65 studying for my 24 hour EMT Recert class that starts on Wednesday.
Always buy skiwear from Sierra. Unless you need it now. Then pay up, sucka'!
You *sure* you're not a 17yo girl??

Coffee poured down my gullet, offer submitted on a home we likely won’t get, I guess it’s time to install the new front door on my current home, wish me luck battling the un-square framing
Sunday ride, como siempre.
But I went solo and skipped on cafe breakfast b/c the kiddo tested positive, though the rest of us remain negative...guessing the vax did its thing. She was only ably to get 1/2 before catching it from some new arrivals, it seems.
Some tweaks to the DVO Topaz made it ride really, really well at speed even though it felt too firm in the parking lot. More progression very welcome. The negative chamber volume spacer might be a little too much. Going to ride again before deciding whether to keep or not...might be better to remove it and up the bladder pressure instead...?
I definitely want a little softer start with the fork coupled with more progression, but I'll need to research how to do this on the simple RC damper in this xfusion. Haven't played with anything internal on it, just the pressure and the 2 external adjusters. And/or if I can drop a better damper in.

What'd you get? I'm getting the urge again to try out some 80 mm underfoot carvy-carvy skis for days with the wife on-piste.

back keeps getting stiff from sitting and studying text books. Funny how the cure is to take a ten minute break and go out front with my 10' fly rod and do 30-40 60' casts on my lawn with a heavy streamer tied on
He is doing much better. The current version seems less severe or the vaccination is helping maybe. So the rest of us are symptom free!
I more worried about my collarbone

12” of snow on the #deck in South Asheville. Man fuck this shit. @jstuhlman i hope you didn’t get a bunch of ice like they were calling for.
That sucks. Can only imagine the chaos on the roads down there...
We're supposed to get a 8-12" early tomorrow morning, right before rush hour. Should be fun getting to work.
hangin out with the kids, managed 20mi on the trainer which is goot but I wanted 30mi. I guess climbing up the thing took some time. Might get more tomorrow.
2.5 inches of ice in the Triad. It's a mix of snow and ice that is really hard to walk on. No chance of driving on it, nope.
bizzard brahma or bonafide?
we got same as this guy:
it rained a bit later in the day. not supposed to get too cold tonight, then sunny and up around 40 tomorrow, so should be fine in short order. i don't think the area got the widespread power outages everyone was expecting. ours never even flickered.
Hmm intriguing per the spec sheet. I should demo something from Epic.
Phfft, turning ...
(I have two skis +30m)
Went for a little ride on MTB's with the wife, 72miles later rolled back into the driveway.
Eating everything not tied down now.

Kids party was at the local roller rink. Honestly could say I haven’t been roller skating since 7th grade. Fun was had.
Fucking treadmills
Went out for a leisurely ride with the wife to the library, then post office. Post office is next to a brewery, so... 
Then up the "big" hill, drop by the liquor store on the way back down, then throw the bread in the oven when we got home.
