5 miles on deep, snowy trails with Tiny Elvis- sadly the last day for 3-4 days, we go back into the freezer with forecast highs at 0

Woke up to a bunch of snow yesterday so had to hit the gym. Did 100 floors on the stairmaster, ran a mile and walked a mile for cool down. Feeling it in the legs this morning!

In negotiations <g> to buy a MTB..... a Specialized Chisel Comp.... excited at the workout possibilities it will open up. The severity of my prior head injury rules out any notions of single-track mayhem, but there's virtually unlimited old closed off logging roads in the nearby Coast Range to explore with tons of elevation gain/loss.
Wife and I are also in negotiations to go for a hike/walk. It's just vile outside. High 30's, windy, and dumping rain. We have this new Frog Toggs rain gear we want to try out though, so...

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I think it's "nice enough". I'm a total gearhead so I'm trying really hard not to go nuts; I'm just gonna be a middle-age duffer riding logging roads, after all. I rode a 2018 base-model Rockhopper last week, and it was shiny, almost-new, and cheap, but it was hard to get excited about the crappy components, etc. The Chisel is a mid-level build...much better components, better frame, also much lighter. The Rockshox air-spring fork is a biggie. Thou shalt not buy a bike with a junk suspension fork! Words to live by. My road bike is badass. A racehorse for sure. Light as a feather, and the frame is highly refined. You can be carving a sweeping downhill corner at 35 mph and it feels like you are on a rail it tracks so precisely. Awesome. My main impediment to getting this Chisel is picking it up. It's a 3-hour trip away, across the Cascades, and I'm slammed busy in the shop. I offered to send the seller a PMO deposit to hold it and he thought I was scamming him. I think I've got that resolved now but I'm gonna need to steal a day and go get the dang thing. These are different, much simpler, parts than I told you guys about prior, but these come in quantity. I pick up 300 of them Tuesday and it'll take a solid week to run them. A $2700 week though.

well so much for going to the gym this evening- started the day with a little over an hour of shoveling, got home and shoveled for another hour; it's deep enough that I had to spend a lot of time knocking my berms down- I couldn't throw snow any higher- the joy

smoke- sounds like fun Jeff- not so much started the day out, just like the last- about an hour of shoveling, -11 w/ a windchill of -30; the joy never ends!

Assault treadmill: 30min iSatori: Weights: Squats, lat pull downs, bent over rows, DB curls, incline BP. Merlot, quick walk: 45minutes
Bluegrass you say? Sounds like a good time.
Jeff: Don't feel lonely with trees being down. We have an ash blight going on here. A whisper wind is bringing the dead ones down. Driving down the road and looking into the wood, it looks like they are timbering. They're not....Good thing is it is opening up the woods more than a little for new growth.

It was a good time. My favorite band did a separate show in a small venue, we were right up front. Seeing good musicians up close is always fun. That and the beer.
