Today I shoveled snow for 12 hours and still have more to do to tomorrow. My whole body is pretty damn sore. Tiger balm all over my body tonight

Thus far, I've spent the majority of my day in the ER with my wife. No fun.

Hope everything is ok.
BTW, this is what the township I reside in calls a completely clear road...

Today I cleaned up the Nishiki. It has a sweet as paint job that I didn't notice under all the dirt and rust. It's celeste decals on a metallic sparkly black. So sweet.
Broke it down to the frame. None of the bearings were seized, but they all needed overhauling. Only thing left to install is the BB/crank. Then it's time to find some parts for it.
I need canti's, drop bars, levers, tires, chain, and a tensioner, and I'm good to go.
I'm only $60 in after the bike, saddle, and tubes. I set a budget of 150, so we'll see if I can stick to that. It's looking good so far.

Today I rode the roadie and got back home to an unexpected package from amazon at my doorstep which was expected to arrive on Monday but made it to me in less than 13 hours from ordering.

Today I was a marshal and partial leader for a LACBC ride. I have never had to lead a ride of about 30+ people through city streets but everything turned out well. I also decided to use an adapter to go threadless on my Panasonic. Sometimes I can't stand quill stems.

Today I'm hungover. And I have my first of two soccer games in a few hours. And, the girl that I like gave me a ride home, and was hanging out here, until I threw up. So she gave me a glass of water, and went home. I am disappoint in self. Probably won't play Edward 40 hands again for a while.

Today my entire body aches from shoveling between knee and waist-deep snow all day yesterday. This is definitely our last winter here.

I'm so jealous of your snow, scrod! We've had some snow, which turned into slush, which froze into ice, and which is now melting as it rains. YUCK.

This storm totally left a bad taste in my mouth too. I just finished rescuing my car.

I might be the only person in the northeast that enjoys shoveling
Does that make me a masochist?

Isn't it supposed to be in the forties up there the first part of the week???
Won't that melt the snow**********?
Screw shoveling.......I'd just wait, drink beer and make obnoxious posts 'til it runs down the gutter.

unfortunately, if you don't shovel it, all that melted snow will end up in your basement

Today I met up with my coach to get a bike fit.
Good news: It was free
Bad news: It was free because he couldn't dial me in on my current bikes (too small). Not having a huge gut anymore, and being able to bend forward is a thing.
Indirect good news: I get to buy new bikes. ICANHAAV 10?!?!
