back from a lazy break

Yeah it's been awhile.
And at a time when a lot has been going on.

One word: LAZY

Knee arthroscopy went extremly well. No pain whatsoever and was back on the bike rehabbing it 2 days later. 4 days after surgery i rode outside with the dogs for a half hour.
At the follow up visit, 10 days later, the doctor told me the torn meniscus was pretty extensive and was surprised that I lasted so long with it that way. He was pretty impressed by my recovery so far. Determination
I couldn't have picked a better day week to be off after surgery. The snow pushed in and dumped a few inches. The next day 70 mph winds carried all the snow to Nebraska. It was pretty impressive watching it from my front windows.
winter looks to have finally made it to the area. It's been unseasonably warm. I can't remember being able to ride in 50 degree temps in Decembers past. Like today, before the canadian cold front came, I was hitting the trails at 7000' with the dogs in 45 degree sunny weather.
Unfortunately the snow looks like it will pass me without the predicted 2-4". The temps will be around a high of 10 tomorrow though.
I dislike cold without the snow. It just doesn't make any sense.
