Truth is that I’m not thrilled about the upcoming snow β˜ƒοΈ

A certain amount of snow riding on the trail is fun but it’s going to be deep and my skis snapped several years back and I tossed them in the fire and was surprised how much fiber glass was in them. So it’s going to be road riding with all those harsh deicers, walking or staying home.

Plus I’m well aware of the fact that if we get a bunch of snow it could put my President’s Day Weekend trip at risk that I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time especially if we get another snow storm and a lot of cold next weekend. And I really need a few nights in the wilderness so I can sit by the fire, smoke some grass and burn up the papers. It’s tough being at home all the time in my moldly, cold apartment. Plus if the trash cans are covered with snow, and my parents yard deep in snow it will be a pain when it comes down to emptying out that five gallons bucket full of apple core, orange peels and other compost.
