Default Not bad for a snowy day

Got a good weight lifting workout early this morning, followed by an 8.5 mile jog (treadmill), a light lunch, then put the new Lyndall Z+ pads on and installed the Smart Siren II and got the pager working with it. All the while big fat sloppy wet snow flakes falling. Suppose to be nice enough tomorrow for a ride and a good test of the new brakes. Whiling away the day in the garage was way nicer than sitting and watching the snow fall. Ended the afternoon with a few beers and a good home-made Mexican dinner....only thing that woulda made it better would have been a nice long ride....maybe tomorrow.

I think my day beat yours. I got up took about an 8 mile run outdoors (unless it is sub zero I will not run on a tread mill), rodeto a buddies where he just finished up his new build while another did some work on his new barnett clutch then we all took about a 100 mile ride, came home and found my wife was boiling up some king crab legs and had cold beer waiting for me...pretty good day indeed.

Boy, I can relate to your plight. It's in the mid 40's this morning and not a cloud in the sky. The grass is green, the roads are clear, the trees are blooming. I guess I am going have to layer my clothing again for today's ride.
