24 degrees F. No wind. Sunny. Temperature supposed to reach into the 30s this afternoon. There is snow on the ground.
I hear a little voice calling to me.
Steeeeeeve, it’s getting a little lonely out here in the garage. Let’s riiiiiiiiide, TEST THOSE STUDS!!!
Thus the conflict, albeit minor and nothing life threatening. There is this little thing called work getting in the way, as well as a task or two or three that should be done. Ahhhhhhh, but life is short and is meant to be enjoyed. Problem is that one of those tasks is way over due and my reluctance to perform that task is tarnishing my stellar reputation as a dedicated hard working individual. If I put it off for tonight, I likely won’t do that task out of a lack of energy (combined with a lack of enthusiasm).
And there is that snow on the ground. It might make that ride just a bit challenging, potential injury looming should my siren bike successfully lure me out for that ride.
The bike on the trainer is happily warm inside my house, content for the half hour jaunts I have been taking. Riding inside sucks. I need to spend the money on indoor bike classes, something that keeps me on the bike and motivates me to do real work when I am on it. Either that or I need to listen to my cold, whispering friend out in my garage.
Take me somewhere, Steeeeeeeeve.
There is also the fact that I am the only person in our three person office this week. My associate and boss is in the southwest right now, making calls with our sales reps in New Mexico and Arizona. Our office manager is in Budapest all week for training. Drat.
Hmmmmm.
Argh.
Aughhhhhhhhhhh.
Errrrrrrggghhhhh.

Gotta get the work done so we can afford the nice bikes brother, that’s literally how we roll. 😉 Git ‘er done.
LOL — you are so right. I stayed at work and am still at work. Good thing. It has been a busy afternoon that included a huge opportunity that may be a huge boost to the new year.
And dang, you are right about paying for that new bike!
Sorry man. I feel your pain. It’s all good though, land that new deal and treat yourself when it pays off. That’s a win-win!
For sure. Our company was in start up mode last year and still was the #1 subsidiary world wide. We are starting off with a bang this year. Maybe I will be buying a new Venge WITH the high end wheels and components…..
Now that’s what I’m talking about! Don’t get the S-Works frame, they’re notiriously stiff and unforgiving. You want the 10R carbon fiber.
put in your time, do the work, get the bikes, get on the road, stay happy.
