one Paczki down

two to go...

riding in was great - cool, but nice... Clear crisp air - new Coal bulker unloading on the waterfront...

one to go...

more coffee and soon, factory training...

nothing like sitting on a new bit of equipment learning from the 'factory' guys how to use it...

actually...

pretty GD exciting!!!

its gonna be cold tomorrow...

but like Alaska Jill has discovered, staying warm when its dry and cold is a piece of cake (for the most part). Stay'n warm when its wet out is different.

Sounds like she's got it figured out.

I wish there was a way i could say for sure that the little one would be warm in the trailer in the single digits...

at this point i know she's very warm down to 20°F but so far everyone's balking at letting me see if i can test the envelope a bit further. And i can't as a good dad push much more myself...

Couple things may need to be addressed a bit, potentially the wind screen and the amount of air it lets through. On the other hand, she'll get colder prolly in the car initially (until the car warms up enough to re-heat them).

So, begging the question, its it better to be cool for 40 minutes or to get really cold for 15 and then warm up?

And those who caught the nod-cast from the weekend. Yes, Solobreak is in possession of my powertap. Plans and hopes that i can grab it Saturday morning and have some nummas on monday... at which time i'll be freaking TAPPED... no more pluggin in funky guesstimates at analytical cycling.

That and i've been thinking about the bob beal race... and when i got popped and why... fitness #1... i was okay going over the hill... but hitting the down hill side and the next slight rise when the pack juiced it, i wasn't recovered from the hill effort and had dug in too deep on the first 1/2 a lap chillin up near the front and then for a moment sitting there wondering WTF am i doing breaking the fucking wind for the whole fucking pack... race with brains... need to train the brain now as much as i need to train the legs... the legs can get me over the hills, but will the brain not fucking sabotage them?

Oh and when making glass knives for trimming the blocks doing ultramicrotmy every once in a while ya make THE PERFECT knife... only to use it to trim down the face... but with the perfect knife, trimming the trapazoid (0.5 mm x 0.25 mm) is pure bliss...

peace,

and remember... its not if your food has meat or what not in it, its about the quality of said food you are injesting. It will probably take me a couple months to blow clear the paczki crap from my system... i don't suggest you try these at home folks...

peace, smile, say hey to folks... be a good citizen of this planet of ours!
