February roundup
looks like nothing happened the first week of February, I did commute 4.5 days and it looks like it was 4* on Wednesday morning.
Sunday Superbowl, I rode around and it was snowing and john said he was going to Harris' to watch game, I rode out thereon the bike trail to Hiawatha and the whole family was there and no one seemed to be in a good mood. I played with the dog outside and watched through the window and went to O'malleys for second half.
Monday 8th- Dark Star Orchestra with John, the snow held off until about 5:30 and then it started to get bad we went anyway and had a good time, only the lower level was open and we went down and got 3rd row seats.
commute 5 bike and 5 commute, 3.5 miles each way.
Sunday 14th, out for a ride and went by Jones park to check out conditions and sledders. I want to get over to Roosevelt sledding hill. I was not going to play as there was 3 inches of powder on top of at least 6 inches of packed snow. JK called and said he was on his way, I refused to play, but we ended up playing about 15 holes. I was wearing bike shoes and thin summer bike crew socks, It was about 23*, It was sunny, To Al's Blue toad for potato nachos then off to see UV hippos at Parlor, they canceled so it was Bryce Janey group, I then went up to Mahoney's for Daddy'o funky posse.

24th WNBC, post said dress warmly, I did and I was the only one to ride, it was about 6*, but it felt even colder. about 15 people showed, I was the only rider. Only had to go over to the Londoner, new fishy fried place on centerpoint road. took trail, most everyone else had been on CRABFART on Saturday, I should have left work early and met them, there were tons of people and they lasted until two A.M.
