Don't Say I didn't warn you

I finally left my house today after "working" from home for two days. I did get some turns in on Green Mtn. Yeti Betty on Skis

The Green Mountain Glory Bowl 2' plus of fresh with big drifts.

Jaco very tired after chasing Amy, Scott and MFK around on skis.

This is the one.

I have determined we are screwed. This is the big one (as far as October snows go)

Two reasons: I almost go snow tires this weekend, but I didn't and I just lost my marble again.

I found my marble

Some of you have expressed concerns that I have lost my marbles. I am pleased to inform you that I have found at least one of them. A big shooter never the less. It was hanging out in the Target parking lot.

Shodding my millipede

So I have a pet millipede. He lives behind my refrigerator. Since it is getting cold out I got him socks at Veloswap this weekend. I'm thinking of naming each of his feet.

R U Kidding Me

After I predicted an Alabama upset. It was a finger tip away 3 times.

Missed Field Goal by a foot.

Blocked Field Goal

Blocked Field Goal with 1 second left.

How can a team be that unlucky?

The Devil Wears Patagonia?

So I've had a Patagonia Pro-Deal for about 6 years now, and this year is the first year I realized I had a problem. I have a technical outerwear fetish. I've got ski jackets six deep. Beanie hats with the hot new graphics, both colors. Someone asked me if I liked my vest. I said the down, synchilla, or puff? I've got enough web belts to climb the North Face of the Eiger. Lets not talk about underwear. It's bad, I go to the store an talk about layering options. What is really bad is I watched the Devil Wears Prada last night, and I felt I would fit right in except with Ski boots, not heals.

TACOOOOO BARRRRRR!!!!!!

Thats right Taco Bar today at the meeting.

The Great Upset?

Now that Alabama is ranked number 1, my prophecy is falling in to place. I have predicted that the University of Tennessee will upset a Ranked SEC team. They almost had number one Florida. Could the stars align and take down Alabama?

MFK for Africa

So today may be the most exciting day I've had in a while. I committed to going to Africa for two weeks +. Uganda and the surrounding area specifically. The trip is 50% Peace Corps type stuff and 50% survivor man style full on Safari. Don't laugh yet. I need to raise 3 grand, and I'm hitting all you up!

Should be interesting, estimate building and labor materials for an indigenous schoolhouse structure some 8ooo miles away. Is there an app for that?

Taco Bar Supremecy

We often have lunch meetings with various food bars. I have deemed Taco Bar the ruler in both taste and versatility. Please see the matrix below.

Thru-axle Conversion

No its not what the kids are calling it these days, but darn it sounds fun.

What I want to do is get a hold of this hub, only available on teh XT wheelset and lace it to my XTR rim. Does anyone no if you can get a "replacement" hub separate? Or am I going to have to violate a wheel set?

Staring

So I was staring at my wall today, a good hour or so, I finally saw an aardvark.
