Grateful for the fenders today. We got 10” of snow Friday. It was 53* Saturday and 65* today. Needless to say, the bikepath was a swamp of standing water, walkers, runners, wanders and cyclist all trying to use the 8 foot path instead of the stand 14 foot path.

Gravel shirts? Just stop the madness….it looks like the Partridge family bus

Ok…the egg shortage is now hurting. My close to the office taqueria has raised prices $2 on breakfast burritos since last summer. I DEMAND ACTION ON LOWERING THE PRICES OF EGGS! There were promises made….

As seen on the mean streets of Salida CO…early 80s Rockhopper. #TownieBikes

Anybody ever heard of Lunch or Dinner syrup?

Getting some culture in tonight…should be some fun clips and tunes. #ColoradoSymphony is worth supporting. Last night we listened to the Littleton Symphony doing Rachmaninoff concerto’s…

There in lies the rub…”Nobody gives a damn!” The GOP doesn’t give a dam, the Democrats don’t give a dam….Dems won’t even fillabuster nominees, they just throw their hands up and go #DemocracyDies

On this day in 1986, after leaving a doctors appointment, with snow coming down, my 2 best buds from high school, ditched our girlfriends and cruised in a 1976 Buick Riveria to see a half house concert by Rush…life was never the same again! www.setlist.fm/setlist/rush...

Everything is a joke to these asshats…this is gonna be the longest 4 years that has ever happened.

A single night in a hotel during ski season in Silverthorne runs a minimum of $250…if they triple taxes, locals will no longer have ski weekends. Traffic is already horrific. Want to see an industry die…do this.

Gringo tacos, queso and a margarita tonight while watching hockey. It’s new one of those days. #EatMexicanFoodEveryDay

The FAFO crowd should have listened to anyone other than the guy who screwed them…

Crutches not included…

Our weekly indoor hitting session. Youngest is up to hitting 65mph curve balls now. Big baseball season this year. Last year in our conference and HS fall ball inbound. #AlwaysPuttingInTheTime

See…it’s getting worse on the streets!

Out of the dog house this morning. Accidentally washed the only car fob for Mrs FMVC’s Nissan. Stuffed it in a bag of rice overnight and it fired right back up. Note to self…don’t drive her car anymore.

See…even a peasant like me can get things done within government. Just 8 years ago, how times have changed.

And with that…here is my new sleep kit for our bikepacking trips. Nemo Tensor Trail and 30* Disco sleeping bag. Will still use my 32* Thermarest Corus quilt for most trips. First trip on the books for April.

Have a feeling that I’ll be doing a full transition over to here for most things. The USAID lock out by a non federal employee is enough. I’ll continue to poke the bear as always…

Eggs are the new 11 speed chains on the barter market…

Elon Musk….The Kato Kaelin of the 21st century.

This would have hit harder when they were in a different century…but once again, American Somoa is a day late for everything.

Me after a night of 10% Christmas beers with the fellas…

Guess I’m NOT going on the wagon this week…Mrs FMVC found this gift set in the states for me. #BelgiumBeers

You’re god damn right I’m watching this tonight…it’s a shame that the only way to watch this now is on AppleTV+. This should be free over the air viewing by an amendment to the constitution.

While having 1st breakfast last night at The Waffle House…they have Touch Tunes. An app can be downloaded and you can choose songs to play on the jukebox. When the food arrived, I busted out Last Christmas to a few groans and laughs. Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

The Big Man’s chair is prepped and ready to go. He comes the last 2 weekends before Christmas to our neighborhood. Gonna ask for more free time and larger travel budget this year.

These two….what a win tonight! Let’s keep the pressure up boys. #COYG

Mrs FMVC made homemade pavlova for a party this week. I could eat these every night and follow that up with a N’ice Chouffe and I’d be 300lbs before New Years…

Sweet baby Jesus! Jake’s Brew Bar always has Duvel on tap. But this year they also have Karmeliet and St Bernie’s Xmas Ale on tap. This might be the only place in Colorado with these offerings. My burrito allowance has now been shifted to the beer fund.

Happy Thanksgiving pocket friends!
