Drama at home, dealers at work.

Piano Day.

Tha 'Rents had grandma's piano delivered. Stoked to finally have it home, but it blew the day. H down the hill in the AM to pick up the Subie after a $3400 wiring harness repair. Nothing but bad news.

Best friend rolled in from Vegas with the wife and new baby. H down in tha OC for work left me rolling solo. Good to see him, but pure chaos with the clones.

Covering Malibu for the Woolsey fire. Left home at 0330, made it to the office about 0430, wheels rolling for LA at 0505 exactly....only it's raining and the worst traffic I've even seen. Rolled in to Malibu around 0845...seriously.

Coming back was just as horrible: left at 1645, back to the office by 2000. Holly calls and says it's snowing and the chain controls are up. FML. Over to WalMart for some cables because there are no chains for my tire size *sigh*.

Finally headed home and...no snow or chain checkpoint. I think I rolled in the door around 2200. Garbage.

Garage trainer session. 48 deg

Warmed up easy in Z1 for 15 mins, then 3 x (5 x :15) with 5 min recoveries. about 490-ish avg.

Work paddle. Howling wind exactly 90 degrees from where I was trying to go made for very tough conditions. I phoned it in a bit after battling a while.

Easy from the office, out to LGHQ and back. Pre-work session.

Work PT. From LGHQ, out to the ADA dock and back. Pretty mellow conditions.
