Whuz Crackin' Homaz?
her is Coffee in styro cups, black as coal, sweeten to your liking.
I am cooking "Dirty Omelettes" today: break the eggs into the buttered pan and scramble them as they cook. add salt and pepper, and whatever meats & Cheeses you prefer. fold messily. eat with fingers
not for the faint of artery, or vegan.
Xmass break is approaching swiftly, and my plans are taking appealing shapes. I have my xmas day morning outlaw climb sites reconnoitered and ready to go...another day planned adding a second crimp section to the dormer area of the attic wallie, a couple sleepovers with pamilu, xmass eve with my kids, a Guitar Ctr day with my son, trip up to my brother's on the lake...maybe a day of snowboarding somwhere...maybe a day at the quarries if I can find anybody else to go.
VERY MUCH embracing the time off from this grind.

Good coffee and I like your approach to the omelets!
Man, I just gotta get through tomorrow and I won't have to come back to this office until mid-January!! Other than the normal Christmas activities my time will be spent doing race car and race trailer work.

I love to climb on X-mas morning. I also like to go for a long bike ride on superbowl Sunday....all of the macho shithead monster trucks are off the road.
No NASCAR pseudo American coffee for me. Make mine black and strong.
(Jet..that was NOT aimed at you.)

Just two days left until Christmas break for me, and today is a snow day. I'm actually hoping we have school tomorrow, the kids bring me lots of presents.
Cheers

Morning yinz.
Another day.
My daughter slept last night, thus I slept well last night.
The cold seems to have moved to her chest, though.
Hopefully not.
My son has always slept pretty well.
Anyway, have a good one.

Buenos días gente.
Jet, can I marry your daughter to my little cousin? He's 12 and races 124cc in MX and Enduro.
Rob, I'll take a XXL bootblack and one of those artery cloggers you have there... just add anything that had a face and plenty o'cheese please.
Arret, glad you could get some sleep, hope your kid gets better.
I've actually got 8 hours before Xmas break begins! Hurray for me!
Company dinner tomorrow, I'll be having sushi and sake to my heart's content.
My mom's car is in the shop $500 to re-fix part of a $3000 repair I had to pay for about a year ago.
Two year anniversary with my SO last night, I had chosen a gift about 2 weeks ago but hadn't gotten around to buying it... of course when I got there last night it was gone... had to brave the mall for about 2.5 hours to find something for her. Found her a perfect match though.
Have a good one everybody...
-F

Jet, that's a cookin' digger ;-) I raced Alky karts (oval and road course) a few years. not quite as highly tuned as your engine though ;-)

Yeah, it is not bad for a 10 year old chassis. I am having the entire thing freshened up over the winter. It is a good car to learn on and I have two more daughters behind her that will run that car.
She took that car to the semifinals for our division in NHRA this fall. Not too bad for a rookie driver.

Morning, folks. I'll have some of that black coffee, thankyaverymuch.
Working today, then off tomorrow, then on duty Friday, then FIVE DAYS OFF!
First Christmas I've had off in nearly 5 years. Plan on sleeping in, making breakfast for the missus, playing with the dogs, and taking a nap. Then up for lunch, back to my nap, and a hearty dinner before turning in for the night.
Yessir, my Christmas plans are set in stone.

Morning folks.
I am snowed in. The chances of flying out of Denver today are about as good as Lindsay Lohan staying sober for 2 days straight. That doesn't upset me so much - I am pissed because I can't through to Frontier to reschedule my f'in flight for tomorrow.  Grumble.
Glad to hear peeps are going on break, sleeping through the night and generally gettin' on well! My cold has become a hacking one and the shit has settled in my chest..not fun.

Well, Wachusett's making snow, and has 8 trails open, so the opportunity is there. Wachusett's about an hour away from me in Princeton, MA.

I could also be of a mind to head up to sunapee uin NH or something, for a day.

Morning all. Coffee please. Been on a tear the last week in the warehouse here at work. I finally got sick of all the crap my bosses have refused to throw out for 12 years I'm taking an 18 foot truck to the scrap steel yard today. chopped up old work cart, rolling lightbar racks, shelving.... Gone gone gone.
Nice to get out from behind the desk a little bit.

Hey guys!
I'm trying to squeeze as much climbing as I can into the next few weekends. I'm getting married in march next year and going to australia for 3 weeks on my honeymoon, right in the middle of the winter climbing season. I'll be missing 5 weekends of prime time so I got a lot to cram in!
Ah well, it's always some kind of climbing season right? May as well swap iced-up cliffs for beaches and barbies!
Have a good one!

That sounds fun Chad! Do you get to bust shit up or just send it away? I always hated being stuck behind a desk.
PLEASE TAKE SOME SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I can get back to Wisconsin if you do.
Denver metro is expected to get up to 2 feet...the mtns could get 4 feet. And these people have NO CLUE how to drive in anything over 1/2". That is the only time I hate this state. I am a GRUMPY PANTS.  Sorry.
While I'm here, can I ask the men a question? Or the women too for that matter. Do y'all remember the X I visited in PHX? We haven't spoken much since I've gotten back. He called once the day after we got back and then said he'd call tomorrow and he never did. I have not called him but I do wonder what is going on his head..why he's been distant. Any guys have insight? The mysteries of men.
