Da Winter Blahs - Page 2

Winter is hitting hard here today. We got around 4" of the white crap while I was in Mexico. The amount is 'meh'. The temps are frigid, though. High of 10 today and tomorrow. Nighttime temps well below zero. Not T-shirt weather. Maybe an unzipped jacket, definitely not T-shirt. Even B-dog just does his business and runs back inside.

After getting back from Mexico at quarter to two Saturday morning, I wasn't expecting to do squat on Saturday. I did do squat, but I did even less yesterday.

Definitely time to get off my backside and do something. A1C is up as is resting heart rate. Surprisingly, my weight is not. I may have to twist my arm and break out a bicycle as the daily mile with Buster and the once a week roller skating does not seem to be doing much.

I expect a butt chewing by my doc on Tuesday.

Nothing happening here. Getting hammered by snow. Almost put a deposit on another bike online yesterday. Must.....get....outside.....soon......

God put it there. He'll take it away, right?
Fires hot, beer's cold, food's good. I can tell you this....being snowed in with Mrs. 2LZ, 30 years ago, was a lot more fun, as memory serves. At least we got the extra bedroom and closet cleaned out and re-organized. Have the donate, garbage, and recycle piles, ready go go. I'm still useful!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's pissing down with thunder boomers this morning. I shouldn't be seeing this for at least three more weeks.

That said, yesterday was really nice and kind of busy. Mrs.C and I took in the youngest grandsons' hockey game, then went out for breakfast. I took Buster out for his morning sniff fest and got the sidecar fender painted. We futzed a bit around the house, then took Buster for a second muddy walk at a forest preserve. We stopped at Culver's on the way home and got some frozen custard. Buster got his own pup cup.

I swapped out my Casio Atomic for my smart watch on Saturday just to see what a lump I've become. Jeezus! I'm fast becoming Jabba the Putz. I have a doctors' appointment tomorrow and expect an earful.

You need a new project.

I did win another 90 pcs of HO slot car track off the Bay of Fleas Saturday, so there is that.

After some deep thought, without booze, I will finish the Diesel Project once spring is finally here but I think I will piece out the Bronda, save for the 18 hp Briggs engine. There's this go-kart sitting in my local kids backyard...

Snow Gauge reads 3.5 as of a half hour ago.

I can relate when it comes to lack of motivation. I leave work with the intension of getting stuff done when I get home, but all those good intensions are gone by the time I pull into my driveway.

I work from home and it happens here, too.

It snowed last night. Not enough to stick long, just enough to make me not want to go spend time in my freezing shop, wrenching. I'd much rather feed the wood stove and pet the dog. As long as Mrs. 2LZ can hear the laundry machines from her office, it's good cover.....

i hope the relatives are not IN the boxes.... just sayin'

The Ranger was not happy this morning.

2LZ · 03-01-2023, 01:16 PM

For the first time in a week....SUN!!!!!!!

**cheesy** · 03-01-2023, 03:51 PM

60+ in Illannoy today. Honda started on the first push of the button. Even got the DeSoto going though that took a bit more cranking.

I was outside in t-shirt for a bit while I was sweeping out the MC side of the garage as the toys were outside.

Not going to last, though, rain and snow on Friday.

**JerryHawk250** · 03-01-2023, 04:20 PM

80+ here. Been like this for over a week but that will come to a halt by Friday when that cold from comes through. Then we'll be back in the 70's.
