I get it, and I agree (athough I don't entirely understand the details). I'm just being a mildly sarcastic ass.

Pedaled with friends for 30 or so miles. Was underdressed. My nipples will be hard for the rest of the day.
Go over the interior with a black light eh
I skied with my eldest. Two hours, 8k vert. Hit some sweet jumps and improved her carving
Well my week of non-COVID (six fucking tests) bizarre headache and fever seems to be over...a ride was possible and I am apparently able to function med-free.
Got a rider out who hadn't been on an MTB in 18 years which was fun. Trying to get this Canfield sold to someone smaller than me...not gonna argue about my ulterior motives...)
But can we all pause to give a moment of respect (tm) to these Time Aliums, my first quality clipless pedals? Never maintained, just ridden and beaten and beaten for more than 20 years, and still smooth as silk and clippy as ever. That's a quality fucking product.

…and the plates were off the bumpers, but in the car. Looks like they mostly took the stereo and maybe the speakers (missing door panels but I didn’t look for the speakers).
Nice. I just threw out my very first pair of atacs yesterday. I managed to wear through the spring clip on one side of the right pedal - almost exactly like you are just about to do on the lower pedal in your picture. Rode and raced those pedals on three continents.
Cut a hole in the side of my house and installed a new gas exhaust on the new gas stove. Last thing is getting the LP guy over here for a new regulator and re-routing the gas line. Then I can leak test the gas valve and get some heat that isnt coming from my electric furnace.

Nice! North America, Africa, and Asia for me. If only Central America was separate from Real America I could claim that, too..
Bicycles ridden, drove to the bottom of the mountain with hardtails on the rack. Bicycled up the road back to home and swapped onto the fat bikes for the descent back down to the car. DH trail conditions are still running good despite the warmer weather to the extent that the strava says I PR'd a couple of sections as the snow has filled in all the rocky chunk so you're just blowing through it. Mucho fun.
hell of windstorm last night. Been cleaning up blow down in the yard. Glad I moved the camper out to the front driveway. This branch came down from high up in the redwood and would have punched a hole in the camper roof if it had still been in the side yard.

finally struggled through my peer review. Very challenging to professionally say you don't enjoy working with somebody else's direct report.
and the next storm front is moving in. Wind is picking up. Currently under a flood warning and as of 2000 hours we go into a high wind warning with gusts to 50mph here and up to 80mph along the coast and the hills above 1000'.
Was a weenie today and did not play outside in the cold rain. Took a 3.5 hour nap instead. I regret nothing.
didn't get on the trainer, but I am almost climbing 5.8 again. also started pasta sauce with last summers San marzanos (which had been in the chest freezer since harvest). cheesesteaks and the eagles game. Lego castle building time after the game.
I used to have a problem with this until I had a few shitty coworkers that made my professional life a living hell.
Skiing was cold... and soft. Took the youngest to the Chutes because they were open and he wanted to hit 'em. I really should get some shorter skis for that shit.
Consumed spicy tuna nachos and Baja fish and shrimp tacos. Then spent 2.5 hours in Hell. Home now and super-knackered.

Winped out on riding today - non stop rain all day. Pulled a bunch of fence posts out of the ground with the wife instead. Not a euphemism; just an extremely satisfying task!
Also walked around neighbor’s property with him and discussed options for conserving / restoring his native oaks.

On my end it probably sounds much worse than it is- our interactions are minimal because of her attitude and I prefer to keep it that way. Still, I get along with 99% of the company and she's in the 1%. Other manager asked me for feedback, so this is it.
Spent all day on the toy hauler mods and feel like I haven't done shit since I have to drive to a home depot every hour. good thing phoenix area has about 20 of them
