man i just got groceries, and holy balls it was a lot colder even on the way back home, it was mostly the wind, but still, holy crap that was cold, i'm just as bundled up as i was before, but it felt like i had shed 2 layers at least...


oh and i would've been there had i actually not had other things to do....

man oh man.

i can't help but worry about everybody, if from the warm confines of my apartment.

i just tried to take my dog out to the yard and she wouldn't put more than three paws down on the cold ground at a time, kept looking at me like she was miserable, and refused to pee.

that's some cold ass shit out there.

good luck everyone. I'm bummed out that I have to ride to work. I totally wouldn't want to spend the day outside.

holy crap. i hate the cold. (as much or more than pigtails...)

my ride (for if i rode to that last night, i will surely flake today) to club underground slacked... so....

must register today...must ride today... will not call realtor afterwards to sell place immediately and move back to oakland.

I'm procratinating on getting laundry in this morning. Mostly because I have to go outside to do it. the dog also needs to go out.

Here are a scant few pictures from last night's hoedown at Club Underground.

I was concentrating more on getting shaky out of focus camcorder shots instead.

Goshdammit, I'm sick as a dog, or I'd be
out there racing! I was so looking forward to it.

Maybe next year.

But I will find a stop to sit at and heckle the racers,
instead. That will make me feel better!

Wish I could've made it last night.

Speaking of dogs.

I took the dog out and all he wanted to do was roll around in the snow after he lrelieved his bladder. Silly border collie husky mixes.

More photos from last night...

ahh yes, nothing feels like s(t)upo/erbowl weekend more than having a small group of friends & other random bikers swing by to change pedals, pee, shove beer down your throat, and warm up for a moment, even though your home isnt on the manifest...sometimes living along the routes is a blessing...keep it up, kids! stay warm!

and the preliminary* results are in!

(dis)spencer, little guy, and the dubsac

[*results are not official until meg and amy say so!]

amy for all your efforts, the sponsors for, um,

this moment on...

Is there any way we can snag our manifests? I had to leave fonudation because I was too wasted and didn't want bad things to happe e:(

sorry.

i took in over 200 manifests and most were a crumpled mess. you don't want 'em back. but maybe hereNT has some extra copies if you want one for the memories.

...

sorry if i was short with anyone when you were turning your shit in, but it was cold and i couldn't feel my hands and about 1/2 of you dumb fucks forgot to put your name on the sheet and hand a reason why.

for the other 1/2 of you good job out there.

...

whoooo.

meg did a sweet job.
