It's Still Butt Ass Cold...and that's cold.

Sounds like another 24 hours or so of this below zero stuff. I don't mind it that much, as long as there is an end in site. I half contemplated sleeping outside last night. Jen stopped that before I could fully process the idea. I have a -40 sleeping bag. Back when Arnie Carlson canceled school state wide because of the cold I was up on the north shore camping. We woke up in our tent one morning to -20...tad chilly.
Zoe and I went snow shoeing yesterday. We hit up the Riverbluff trails and did some exploring of our own as well. I was trying to scope out some new mtb trails for next year...some good potential! Jen bought Zoe some booties but they keep coming off. Not deterred I duct tapped them on. First 100 yards or so the front pair was missing. Later on one of the back ones came off. So she had one bootie and 3 taped ankles, she looked like a race horse. Making your own trail was hard work and Zoe soon dropped in behind me, lazy bastard. We went up and down some of the bluffs, damn are they steep. I was running down one when I thought I should be careful because of my bad knees and down I went. I swear Zoe was laughing. Zoe is getting old and has bad hips. I had to help her into the car at the end and today she is slow moving. Maybe we can be in wheel chairs together someday!
I rode the trainer again this morning and still enjoy it. I can tell that the "newness" will wear off soon and it will suck ass, but we will be out skiing then!
Out.
