From a great little restaurant mile from home. Bbq sauce, bleu cheese, smoked applewood bacon, And a side of homemade slaw. And an Alaskan Amber.

21 on Brutus. 2600 ft of climbing. It was cold. Patches of snow at the top. I got a massive ass kicking from my husband. I am destroyed. Seeing the truck was a most beautiful sight. Now, we are on our way to eat taqueria. I am slightly bonked out at the moment.

My lunch date today. She wanted to go to Buffalo Wild Wings.

2.5 hour ride. The trails were in decent shape. I saw 4 other riders out there.

Happy Sunday. Today is church, watching football, laundry and hopefully an hour hike. My zero carb breakfast is sauerkraut and Vienna sausages. No eggs in the house. Low carb diet is getting old, but it’s working.

Son got in yesterday. His friend, Randy helped transport the Jeeps using his Ram 2500 and a 34 foot gooseneck trailer. Here's a pic from West Virginia. They dropped off the JK in Manassas at Mark's place for the axle swap. The XJ was pushed off Randy's trailer and winched onto son's trailer. Randy, his wife, two-year old daughter and two dogs left from there to drive back to TN. Two year old was getting cranky so they changed their plans to head back right away. i think Randy and his wife went above and beyond the call of duty. We'll send them a nice gift for Christmas. Son and I are going to take the Jeep and trailer to a storage lot nearby this morning.

oddly I feel I had more fun

another 8 miles for me. Rode the fatbike to the ATM and dinner

Here I was walking from the guard shack to the gym and I thought I heard something. I didn't stop to check it out but when I got to the gym, I realized I lost my little wad of four tightly rolled twenties. Eighty bucks I will probably never see again. I bet some jerk water is out for beers on my dime..

Those guys are not using the best electric mountain bike equipment now?

Those fricking liquid grains are bad for that!

Are you now flying somewhere? Tom

No chaos required. Keep it simple and don't get anyone anything. Kids don't need more junk, and adults can buy their own things.

He's on the road to nowhere.

Well it never made sense that a Lone Wolf would post on a forum. Especially with no opposable thumbs, although I guess technically you don;t need those to type.

Went to beer club tonight. Of course I started with an IPA... The beer style tonight was a gose. Great, that's an icky beer. But it turns out it's not bad. One was more on the sour side, one had a more citrus and lime profile, and the last one the decided was more complex. I actually liked the lime one best. Then he had a hefe to compare all these with along with a couple other close styles. It was Ben, our president, who did the presentation; excellent as always.

A Wilbur losing four twenties is like a smudge losing four ones. "Hey, where the heck is that little bunch of bills? Crap, musta lost 'em. Bummer." And the day goes on a little sadder but no real big loss.

I raked the lawn

We should remember this is only hearsay and nothing is proven unless he admits to being nice

69.2 miles @ 18.1 rolling ave on the club ride this morning

I think the theatres are finally conceding that people don't want to watch the crap that Hollywood is putting out these days. So, they are recycling the classics. We rather enjoyed it.

Vanilla Bean Stout from Avery Brewing Co. 10.8% ABV 50 IBUs. Thick stout aged in bourbon barrels w/ heavy flavor. I'd recommend it.

In this case one of my mom's Sunday traditions...Gigi..I know all the words...

I didn't hear no silly soundin Texas voice. I want a refund.

I need to finish a chapter in the new book today and get another page or two done on a short story, but my brain is locked up. I think I'm going to take the 3 speed out for a spin. That usually gets things working again.

Maybe some hard working member of the cleaning crew will end up with your money.

Already rode (in the basement) for an hour, got laundry in (at least 5 loads today), making pancakes now, picking the wife up at the airport this afternoon.

You aren't cool unless you have an SS avatar. They cost a lot more than a regular avatar, but they are definitely worth it. Besides, I just recently found a wad of twenties while on my way to the gym. Eighty bucks (Canadian) should cover the usage fee for at least a year, I think.

I ran 3

Shirley you jest!

Everyone is stealing SS's pics without attribution.

Ran 4.8@9:15 pace. Had to run after work. 40 and cloudy and dark was settling in.

I didn't notice the little bike, but I like it. On a different note, RG's puppy avatar made me smile.

May I come out and ride with you a couple times? I need a babysitter with me the first few rides. I'll buy lunch. I'll MAKE lunch. I don't care, either way. I just need a sitter. sigh.... You've always got such nice scenery!

Being productive is highly overrated. When you are on your deathbed, you will not look back and say, "I wish I had been more productive." You Canadians are weird.

We have similar stories, PP. The night I was born my father was in bed with another woman. Mom left him and there was no man until I was 7. She married a man then who had a boat load of issues. She eventually left him too. Fathers are not something I ever put much stock in. BUT, @Further, we choose to ne better that whatcwe had modelled to us. peace

Tom Hanks is just another creep! I saw on TV that he dressed up like a woman just to get a nice apartment, and to get close to Donna Dixon!

Do you mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?

Are you on the way to Minnesota?

You should have told him how you felt about him before he died.

Gym. Ocala. 10 minute dreadmill warm up, one time thru the machines, once thru the PTs, extra fly & ab work, 10 more minutes on the dreadmill. On the down side, cigarette smoke infused clothing stinks worse when sweating. YMMV

I did five miles on the stationary bike and four miles on the hand bike. Had my heart set on the hot tub when I got home. Got undressed, took the cover off, put my foot in, WTF? Error code 4, water temp 50 degrees. I hit the temp button and it kicked on, now I have to wait for it to heat up. I couldn’t remember the settings on the different PT machines. I might have used too much weight.

All but one of our dogs are shelter rescue dogs so they are used to this and they all get along very well

I love the cold. Always have. When it's cold, I can add all the layers I need, but I have only so many clothes I can take off when it's too hot before I'm arrested for indecent exposure.

You need to either quit smoking or smoke naked.

My dad died when I was six months old. He was 48, I don't know how old my mom was, I'd guess in her 40's. She was a saint, I don't think I've ever heard an ill word about her. I was a handful, she did her best but I needed my ass kicked and she couldn't do it. My personal philosophy of life came mostly from the music I listened to. I liked folk, a lot of Simon & Garfunkel, Kris Kristopherson, Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, John Prine was a big influence. I wonder (hate to think) how I'd have turned out listening to todays music.

You're worrying about nothing and all planes are much the same.....I know about these things. Forget the studying....I'm sure that you'll pick it up once you get your paunch behind the controls.
