Getting cold

It's cold. My eyelids froze shut as I walked back up the hill from getting the girls on the bus. It's cold like 300 weight fleece on under a heavy down puff ball jacket. It's cold like my cats water bowl was frozen solid- IN THE HOUSE this morning.

So with that said, no desire to go out on the bike. I'd be willing to get out on by skinny skis, but the bike doesn't offer much appeal in these temps. That being said it should warm up (to the teens) by the weekend, so maybe a quick spin on one of those days.

Working on my cross bike for next year. Big Al at Team World HQ is helping me with my sizing. I think I was about to order to big of a bike, so I need to do a bit of math to make sure I get the right size. Looking at the Chilli Con from Salsa- nice ride.

Ok, back to work.

Ride safe.- DEA

Blue- it looks like you're dealing with this same cold air. Fun, but should be gone by Sunday.

Cold as in -31 when I went out to start the trucks this morning. Then had to put a tent heater under mine to thaw it out, cold as in should have plugged in the diesel but Ford (when I called this morning) said they did away with block heaters cause the newer model diesels (mine) don't need them, that cold. Or that the additive that I put in the fuel so it doesn't freeze was frozen in the bottle. Cold sucks, skiing tomorrow though. It should be a balmy 10 or so.

King Pine. Was there last Tuesday, Saturday and just got back in from there today. Shawnee some night? Was supposed to go to Wildcat tomorrow but plans got changed due to a tree coming down on one of the roads we plow, time to break out the saw instead.
