Iggy only just recently got a cellular telephone. Give him some time before he gets on the GPS tracking game.
I'll post it up later, my garmin is at home and I did'nt download it yet.

What newer music do you listen to?
Lately I've been into the new Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats album, Hozier is solid, I'm going to see Hurray for the Riff Raff later this month, then Wilco in beginning of February. Also I'm a fan of Beirut, the Decemberists, Grimes, LCD sound system...
The beauty of music is mixing in classics with new, like college radio stations do. Good music never goes out of style. If you have Spotify, this playlist is good .

Woody and I got out in the snow last night. It started out with a wet snow but as we got up into the mountains of somo thing got colder and the snow got drier. The whole snow event did not last long,it was just enough to make the ground white, which was nice since we got away without having to turn our lights on a bit longer.
At one point we came out of single track with our lights on to find a county sheriff's car parked in the lot. We rode past him and headed toward the trail, ready to bolt into the woods like deer if the cop told us to hault. He never said a word.

Yeah, I probably would have stopped and listened to what the cop had to say but to be honest part of me likes the idea of fleeing from a cop on my bike. At 50 yrs old being an adult is overrated.🙂
I have passed law enforcement multiple times in Somo and they never say a word.
The ice flows are back at CR, it's not winter until Gilbride is a sheet of ice. For the most part conditions were ok yesterday, but with 50 degrees today and more rain predicted things are gonna turn to poop at CR. If it's raining tomorrow I'll probably do yoga with Mary. While I have a trainer and rollers the thought of using them is so foreign to me and yet I can't bring myself to sell them...it's like I have this fear that if I get rid of them I will probably need them. Someone should offer to buy them from me...I'm of the attitude that if I can't go ride outdoors I should find something else to do.
The house is nice an quiet now, Mary just went off to exercise . She has about 3 cups of coffee in the morning within 20 minutes and then starts talking to me non-stop. Usually I do most of the talking but after those 3 cups I can't get a word in. In the morning I like to talk less, if that's possible for me. This is the time of day when my thoughts are the most clear, I am the most optimistic and feel at my best...its a shame this is when I'm usually at work. Today I have off for MLK day, when Mary comes back from the gym we will probably go visit a museum but a lot of them are closed on Monday so I'm not exactly sure what we'll do. Originally it was gonna be Grounds for Sculpture but with the cold temps the thought of milling about outdoors is not inviting. Anyone have any ideas for cold day activities?
So I've been meaning to talk about my goals for 2016 for awhile. For me its always been tough to define goals, its seems like a homework assignment to me. Also the whole process seems a waste of time and cliche. Its a new year, time to write down my goals...loose weight, drink less, be less stressed, learn something new. Well I don't need to loose weight, I've been blessed with good genetics. I probably should drink less but I do have a good time with alcohol, maybe I should drink less frequently? I do believe in learning something new, for me this means doing something new. People can get hung up on choosing the perfect new thing to try, I believe in trying a bunch of new shit and seeing if anything sticks. I've used the term opening doors to describe new experiences, you don't know what's behind the door or where it goes but the exploration can be just as much fun as getting there.
My goals also tend to be loosely defined, which allows for flexibility. This falls in the category of being open to new stuff. For example last year my plan was to race the H2H in my age group, however when I broke my bike and could not get a new one in time for the start of the races I hopped on my SS and raced in that class. As it turns out I did well and got to spend some quality time with Schilling & @Mitch...and line up against some other people that I've never raced before. Let me go off on a tangent here and say one of my more memorable moments of racing in 2015 was the ride home from the Bearscat 50. Mitch drove and me and Schilling were passengers, while in the car his wife called and he put her on speaker phone. I'm not sure why you put your pissed off wife on speaker phone when your 2 hours late for a dinner party but Schilling and I were entertained for about 10 minutes of that phone call, then we laughed at him for the remaining ride home.
One of the new things that stuck with me a few years ago is doing arts & crafts. I liked drawing when I was in grade school and enjoyed art class even though I was not that good at drawing. As an adult we tend to put away our crayons and consider Martha Stuart activities as stuff women or gay people do (am I allowed to use the term gay?). While making trophies for one of our races several years ago I realized how much I enjoyed myself, making 27 trophies is a challenge but at the same time rewarding. To be honest making less then 27 of anything is way more fun for me. I enjoy the creative process, it starts out as a general idea then along the way it becomes more defined. With each detail I feel a sense of satisfaction or failure based on the outcome...but again its all a part of the journey for me.

Ha, I forgot about that phone call, there have been so many and Schilling was in on quite a few of them.
I wish I had the time for woodwork and stuff. I just have to many things of interest and not enough time in the day. I love the Kingdom Trail sign, good stuff.. if you're bored today come over here and we can shoot the breeze and talk about beer and girls and bikes. No naked kits flying doe...

As a follow up to yesterday here are some pics of our visit.
The museum was not too crowded which made it nice for peaceful browsing.
Part of the beauty of the museum is the building itself and it's grand scale.
I like Van Gogh
Christianity is to art what the mafia and Vietnam where to movie making. So much beautiful artwork was created during the renaissance depicting religious themes. It's amazing how powerful the colors of these paintings are over 500 yrs later.
