He said I've also got a sinus infection (I manage one of those every time I'm sick). That's where the antibiotic comes in.

I just hope I can find the snow shovel when disaster hits here.
Just hunker down with some hot chocolate and wait until midday. It should all be melted by then.

Yep. Now I need to pick up a new set of headlights so they shine as brightly as the utility lights...

I'm not an electrician, and really not all that secure in my handyman skills, so I'm pretty proud of it.

If you're talking about VV's post, then yes. Except less plow, more supercharged blower.

We'll see. I'm probably going to a party in the afternoon so less available time.

The normal high this time of year is 50F, so this is ridiculous.

Yuck. It's going to be warm enough here on Sunday that we're supposed to get rain.

I see a 70 degree day there Gator. It's not even 70 in my house during the winter.

That makes sense. Zmax will squash a sinus infection.

No word from the club ride leader so tomorrow's ride must be on. 20's when I start out and high 30's by the end. Very tolerable. It was 6 degrees this morning. I haven't found a good combination of gear to stay comfortable below the mid teens so I wimped out and took the truck to work today.

Razor, make sure you post your ride data in the Garmin thread.
