it always feels fast when you dont notice it happening.
But kneeling on ice covered fine gravel for 3.5 hours isn't going to do anyone any favors. They are lots better today. Most of the muscle soreness in my back and glutes is gone which is a blessing in itself. Can't wait to put the new roof on carpet stripping it! Fml

I had little choice, the current vehicle’s lease was up and it didn’t look like a couple month’s extension was going to make a difference.

There must be heated steering wheel covers out there. At Pep Boys perhaps.

Not necessarily. We have the top model because that’s what was available in last year’s model. I do like the bells and whistles but could just as well do without them. Except ac. Is ac considered to be a bell or a whistle?

I must have taken too many drugs because in my stupor it sounds as if you are complaining that winter isn't more awful than it currently is.

"While the Andretti name carries some recognition for F1 fans, our research indicates that F1 would bring value to the Andretti brand rather than the other way around."

I hear the Chinese intel agencies pay well for that sort of thing. I got my clearance to protect your ass from the terrorists and I guess I was successful.

note, coldest morning of the year, this morning, until tomorrow morning. I have to come up with something to keep me warm. I stayed in hammock until after 7, and immediately upon arising put on my blanket lined Carharrt. Still wearing it.
I might have to break down and sleep in a bed, and hope I don’t wake up crippled. A warming trend over the weekend and then more of the same. By then step daughter and grandson will be here, occupying both beds

We don't really have winter here but we are supposed to get a big rainstorm Thursday and maybe more Sunday. It never gets really cold. Summer is the long season here. Way too hot for months then less hot for a while. Then some nice weather and some cooler weather, then hot again.
My friend from Tahoe was here yesterday and she said there has been very little snow this year and skiing has been crappy. This coming storm may help that area.

Yea so if I am home 4 days. I am going to attempt to do this 2-3 out of 4. I felt really good. The 20/40s were way too easy the way garmin layed it out. It was something like 320-360 watts target, I did that the first step and didn’t feel like I was doing anything so I bumped it up to 400. That felt more better.
Got a flat on the number 2 of third set. So once I got that changed started the third set over.
