Good morning and Happy Turkey! I absolutely crushed my 5K race this morning. CRUSHED! 19:12 and won my age group. That is a 33 second personal best, which is a LOT. Finished 21 out of 618 overall. Fast field, as expected.

Howdy all. No snow overnight, contrary to prediction. It is bitterly cold, though.

We're headed over to my sister's place in swinger-land Highlands Ranch. The infant decided to sleep in--she never sleeps in--which will push departure plans back after her nap.

I'm thinking that taking the Land Cruiser, what with its non-negligible fuel costs, will be the right call since it's supposed to snow all day. Both vehicles have the same Nokians on them but the RAV4 EV is merely FWD...

Front Range, dude...
Dislike Thanksgiving intensely, souvenir from a dysfunctional family/childhood, coupled with reading too much Howard Zinn. Trying not to pass it on to gromms. Going for first ride today since achilles surgery in Oct. IF I can get a shoe on...

Late night Settlers of Catan and alcohol 7 person death match. Pretty sure alcohol won. 10k around the Pasadena hills this morning sure was peaceful. Pancakes and coffee now. Let the eating and drinking games begin!

Settlers is probably my favourite game ever. That game becomes so good after a trip to the bong shed. Things just fall into place.:brows:


FTS today though. Got notice that they are shutting power off at work tomorrow, which means I have to wake up at 7am to shut my shit down. Thanks for letting me know in advance dudes!

toshi; snowing here so it's coming your way, and roads are ice all over
Land Cruiser windshield when I moved it inside a few minutes ago:



Reminiscent of this outer coating on the LEAF after a rehearsal last January:

Thanksgiving buffet at the country club 5 minutes from us. Kid was well behaved, food was kick ass, and Dogfish 120 was on draft. Home now, time for more beer...

I told my Brother 4 times to close the lid on the weed container and to not leave the bong on the Counter right in the open. Because the Cat will fuck with it. 4 times. He said I was being a dick the second time. The Turkey isn't even close to being done. All the snacks are gone. Happy happy.

Fucking Eagles... Gah they suck...

Rode. Went looking for all sorts of off camber shiz and left the forest smiling. I think I even poached two new trails, the dirt was fresh and loose.

Tricking riding today, though. Hero dirt in half the forest and slimesnot dirt in the other half.

Can you tell where I lost all traction here? :D

Got one of those windshield cover thingies for the too-big truck. Delivered day before yesterday...just in time to be ice-rain-snow tested.
Amazon link? I have sunshades for the inside since I don't want my previous dash to fade. Anyway, come 6 weeks or so I'll be moved in at the new house, with enough garage space for both vehicles in theory.

Perfect timing for the installation of the shitter in my man cave. For the past two days I have been afflicted by a stomach bug: I am inaugurating the throne as I type this.
