The Cold - and adventures in loading a car

Got up this morning - hearing the wind howling, i turn on the TV (after showering and making coffee)... WholyFUCK its cold out there 17 degrees... damn... that's some right nipply weather... top it off with a bitching head wind ride to work.

Got worse tho - checked the TV again... just before leaving... its 16 degrees... an hour after the sun rose (yeah - i was running late)...

But the littlest didn't feel so good this morning - so she's staying home with everyone else (day off for my other two girls) so at least i wasn't draggin the trailer into a 20-30 mph wind... Gale warnings are great ain't they?

Loading the car last night with our house guest's stuff at the airport was an adventure... woulda been cake without the carseat and the littlest one, but... well a double bike box and a wheel box + car seat... its a tough fit in a Golf... but everything got home eventually.

Tomorrow morning is gonna be hard for those who can't take the cold... its gonna be cold... i'm gonna maybe even be cold for a change... or not... i have yet to put a base layer on under the skinsuit... might do that for tomorrow... we'll just have to see what the temps are when i'm suiting up...

Coolest thing brought as a thanks for letting me stay gift was a Set of team trading cards with Erwin vervecken, bart wellens, and Petr Dlask's team... I got Petr Dlask's trading card... WOOOOOO

I got the Fidea Cycling Team trading cars... *big grin*... not only that but it looks like Bart pulled off an upset win over Nys!

I'm geeked for this week... and next weekend...

This one looks to be complicated further by the youngest feeling under the weather and a just announced today holiday party that the director here is throwing... sigh...

once through the weekend i think it'll be okay...

weather at least is supposed to get nice and warm next week...

gonna try and do the rest during the week thing after two weekends - work next week on skills, and letting the legs recover after the double (assuming i survive the first day and make it to the second intact)...

okay...

Coffee time... over...

peace out and waffles and all that jazz
