whatta let-down

my current workspace is a complete letdown but its better than working in the rain. the winter maintenance has commenced and the list is long. the stakes are a little higher than usual because i now work for a company that gives a decent amount of PTO. Soooo.... hopefully the summer will be filled with above average amounts of pavement pounding. 

Day 6

The coveted season pass has been acquired and Shop hook-ups remain intact. Thanks Gravitee.com

Buffalo Mtn.

went for a nice hike the other day, i think i topped out a 12,300ft. 

i got a package in the mail today from my friend currently serving in the sandbox. i am truely touched by the gift. you don't need a special day to thank a soldier.

hmm...

i don't have a garage at the moment and that totally blows. i have a ton of ideas that i want to pull the trigger on but adequate shelter prevents that. but on a posi note, i am becoming reacquainted with some fun. in this case: Loveland Pass. i went out to shake up my memory of this place. mainly on how silly the weather can get, where the rocks are and how the snow is settling. i took a short walk around but a time constraint forced a premature return. it was just below zero with a steady 30mph wind and a soupy sky but it felt so good to be out there.    

don't judge me

radium release hitch as a safety...

 the ramp to get it to the floor...

 the bike is harnessed

 the compound 5:1 up-haul system to raise it up to window height...

 and when all that silly shit became too complicated, this is the the way it happened. with a boring-ass hand truck and an unhelpful room mate.

 i need a new hobby. needle point seems nice and light...

The bane of my existence

when you've already asked for help from anyone who cares and they can't help with what you have, what then? fuck the world and fuck you.

smile for me daddy...
