TAN #203: TANese New Year - Horsing Around (Page 72)

I'm sure I'll have fun - I usually find a way to

And I think I'll be far out of reach. It's been quiet here for a week or so. Looking forward to more of that.

I've been carefully making myself useless at work over the last 2-3 weeks, so I could probably go now if I wanted to, but it's not yet 10am here

Should be the first triple-digit day of the year here in Tucson!

It snowed here.  That's right... SNOW.  

Right about now, I'd move tomorrow if we could swing it!  

This is what we're leaning towards... if we can rent Tony's place furnished, great - we'll just leave everything here for the tenant and charge slightly higher rent.  If they want it unfurnished then we'll go the CL route and try to sell/give away everything.  

Basically all we REALLY want to bring is the cats, the bikes, our clothes, and a few other things.  

snow in MAY?  you're kidding!?!?

The sun came out when we got to the lake. Too cold for a boat ride. Wine and cheese on a dock pitching gently in the wind was our boat ride this evening.

back from vaca, hiking pics added to my training log!

Great pics meh! 

I believe we had a snow in May last year or at least very late April. Right now it just feels like fall... in the 40s in the mornings. Supposed to really heat up next week yahooo!

Getting ready to ride for a few hours, only 15 mph winds gotta take advantage.

it was beautiful out.  we got in tons of hiking in the mornings, then it rained, then it stopped and we grilled out dinner.  i think it was perfect.

first day back to work after vacation..........blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yikes - this is EXACTLY when i am motivated to change my life, though!

Did anyone see the Michael Jackson performance on the award show last night? Think it was the Billboard Music Awards.

It was called a "live" performance and it was awesome, weird and creepy at the same time, but it was by far my favorite! He was a hologram dancing live? I know, sounds wierd right?

We taped the show and fast forward to all the live acts because I do not know half the people winning the awards anymore...

everyone else totally distracted by the rubik's cube on google today?

Got one layer done.  Too hard to do much more.  The control seem sort of random.

I USED to be able to solve it back in the day they were huge.  Can't believe how popular they used to be.  Speed solving championships and demonstrations on "that's incredible".

I often think about getting one at the dollar store. 

i have one at home, i fully plan on working on it tonight.  maybe while running? ha.

i just got invited to do a "mudderella" race with a college girlfriend.  untimed.  last year she walked it.  it's 5 - 7 miles (tbd - race is in 3 months).  and it's $96.  holy crap.  i do NOT want to pay $100 to drive 6 hours to pay another $20 to park and then WALK for 2 hours with some mud pits.  i do, however, want to understand the marketing genius that creates these events and sells them out!

Tough mudder series was developed by a couple ex military to raise funds for wounded veterans.  They simply copied the obstacle course (maybe a slightly reduced difficulty) they used in basic training and people love it.  Raised a ridiculous amount of money so far (as well as put plenty in THEIR pockets - which is perfectly fine by me - if you got a good idea, make some money off it!)  

Rough week.  All the drama at work and the worst news?  I went to the dentist and the pain I was feeling was a rare-ish thing called root resorption.  I think I take reasonable care of my teeth but there was nothing I could do.  They say it has to do with trauma (which I don't recall) which results in some kind of PH imbalance and the tooth basically dissolves itself from the inside out due to some kind of chemical reaction.  They will have to remove it - I'm sad.  I can get an implant, but my plan was to KEEP all my teeth...

The dentist was a little off-putting.  He almost sounded excited to see a case of this but it's MY tooth.  I also have to increase the times I get x-rays because there is no other way to tell if it's happening.  He said that it happens to one tooth, you are predisposed to having it happen again.  I need to do some research and see if I can do a diet change or something.

Sucks, you take care of them and some weird imbalance happens...

Did a 24 hr walk relay to raise funds for cancer on Saturday.  Pretty cool.  My last shift as at midnight, but walked till 1:15 am because I just wanted to.  Was pretty tired and still feeling it a little.  ALSO, actually two days in an HIM plan.  Curious to see how long THAT lasts... 

So I skipped the wine last night as a scientific experiment to determine the source of my headache by the subtractive method.  Miracously, no headache this morning.  I think I need to add the wine back in tonight to confirm the results, purely in the interest of science, of course.
