I DIDN'T Ride My Bike Today, Cuzz....

I have not rode for a small while, ages for me. But my rental flip is picture perfect and now I can ride. The trails are wet so it may have to wait or it's Space. It is cold outside so that is also a no vote. I am stoked that all my hard work on the house is over and maybe now I can ride, if only the weather will team up with me.
Looking at the north I can see the mountains on the Canadian boarder are pure white, maybe that is why they call that the Alamo Mt.
happy trails if weather permits

 

Cuzz the wife & kid roped me in to helping decorate the tree...




And now it looks like I waited too damn long...

 

Too much snow to play on the mtb, I’m guessing it’ll be a few days before the trails are rideable.

 

Because I just got home from delivering a bunch of crap....

On the bright side the last two days I made almost as much as I do during a normal work week.

 

One man's crap is another man's treasure.

 

Optimal riding conditions in the Valley of the Sun.

Also optimal conditions for scarfing revenue. Balance...

 

Yeah, Don't call my Sh!t Crap!!!


and no, I didn't ride today...

 

Cuz 'tis the season.

 

You look absolutely thrilled to be there, Brown Santa!

 

Overtime season, for your few and far between vacations betwixt January and September.

 

FIFY.

 

We appreciate you Brown Santa

 

Best/Only ornament on the tree!

 

Awesome! Lake Elizabeth may become a Lake again with some staying power! Tweedy also, things are looking up for water around here .

 

I know, it’s awesome! The lakes are looking good, and it’s pouring as we “speak”!

 

Well let’s not get all crazy and resume bathing every day and washing our towels after.

 

While the day is still young, I have a feeling that mountain biking will not be a part of it...

 

Well cuzz the weather sucked pretty much all day and I had a fridge full of beer and a trip to St George to get ready for next weekend. Bike is ready (and stunning looking), truck is ready to haul sum azz & up to 6 bikes, supplies are stacked in a neat pile and the beer supply is getting depleted now. Let's go already...

 

Cuzz graffix.

How about some Brown Santa wrapping paper?

Unless @UPSed disapproves, then it's gone.

 

Haha! That is awesome!

 

I didn't ride today... because I am redoing our master bath and had to re-plumb both sinks.

Nothing like having to cut out 40 year-old corroded brass fittings from under otherwise perfectly good porcelain sinks

And now... ceramic 1/4 turn valves with chrome trim kits... they're like butter... remind me why I didn't do this 20 years ago?

 

Because this:


Strawberry Farm with an out-of-town guest. That's my third round of golf this year (3x my normal amount)! I did something today I've never done before in my golfing life - and I was an avid golfer for 30 years (not good - just avid). I actually hit every tee shot on the front nine - all 7 fairways and both par 3 greens. All pretty good shots too! Only 5 of them converted to pars, and no birdies, but in my 100s or maybe 1000s of rounds of golf, I've never done that. Yay me.

However my swing deserted me for the first three holes on the back nine and I triple bogeyed 4 holes on the back. Oh well. That's golf. Got rained on for two holes too.

I like mt. biking better.

 

Fun in the snow instead.

 

Me too!

Here's my daughter (in blue) and a friend she met in ski lessons, sharing ski poles. (Yesterday)

 

I didn’t ride my bike today.
Raining with large fluffy snowflakes. Time to pack it up and head home...

 

A dusting of snow on the top of Zen Trail.

 

If you hurry you'll have time for a ride when you get home.

 

Or on the way home (Vegas).

 

I didn't ride today because I continue to work on the master bathroom... though I am getting close to the beginning of the end
(1) Installed 3 new vanity lights
(2) Replaced all outlets and switches. 2 switches with LED friendly dimmers. One outlet in the middle of a wall-length mirror was a PIA because I have a mirror outlet cover... and the idjits who cut the mirror (years ago) didn't exactly align it with the wall box. I spend more time dealing with other peoples' mistakes than doing my own work
(3) Installed new wood baseboards (I had finished these a couple of weeks ago).

New ceiling lights were delivering this PM too late for me to install today. Also have to install towel racks, robe hooks, etc.

 

On a short anniversary trip with my wife.


Saw some road bikes - in a restaurant. Check out the size of the chainring on the top bikes
