I was in Denver last week and it was crazy cold with a lot of snow in the mountains.  I leave... and it gets warm.  WTF?

I am here until Christmas, looking at the forecast it sounds like I will get to experience the cold anyway.

I did get a Subaru Crosstrek for a rental car so my jaunting around will be less limited by mass transit. Waiting for the ski bus up to the canyon now.

Get a couple of warmup runs in to reacquaint my legs with skiing and then they shut everything down for thunder and lightning. It is snowing like mad too.

Oh well, I guess tomorrow will be good though.

Solitude/Brighton since I have a MaxPass.

Currently stuck at Solitude because the canyon in closed to traffic and the busses are stuck. Whee.

It's ok. I only drove it to pick up my skis this morning. Took the ski bus up to the canyon this morning since they were requiring 4x4/chains.

Ya, snowing like crazy now, really wet stuff too (so not the best for powder skiing). Maybe up higher it isn't so wet.

Freezing rain now and dropping to -8 tomorrow night, so I have a 10 pound duck living in my bathtub until I can get poultry netting up on the back porch.

Trying to catch a semi-wild duck that had gotten scared by dogs on a thinly frozen lake was not my idea of a fun morning, but at least it's done now.

So I went to the grocery store here in Utah to grab a few snacks/beverages after I finally made it out of the mountains. Afterwards I stopped at Culvers to get a sandwich and was kinda disturbed that they didn't have ketchup but they had some weird thousand island looking shit in a dispenser. I am at a restaurant tonight and I heard someone ask for fry sauce.

What the fuck Utah, ketchup mixed with mayo  ACK!

Heh. I sometimes forget that frysauce isn't a thing outside of Utah. It is godly though and there are several varieties. My personal favorite also has pickle relish in it.

There is also a variant that is BBQ sauce mixed with mayo that is dang good too.

Well, today is looking to be a fucking marvelous day.

Mom is in the hospital with a temperature of 102 and that doesn't go well with chemo treatments. Nothing to worry some, they're just being careful with her. Now my sister-in-law just called me and said my older brother had another heart attack last night so he's in a cardiac cath lab this morning but they haven't told my mom yet. They're at the same hospital luckily.

Shit like this is what made me finally want to get serious about my health and losing weight, because of the family history of heart disease. My brother's only 54 and they're already talking bypass for him, to go with the multiple stents he had previously.

Eh, frysauce is a thing outside of Utah. It just isn't called Frysauce because the rest of the world has a slightly larger vocabulary than the mormon vacuum of suck.

Ketchup and mayonnaise should not be pre-mixed in a bottle. What you should do is put mayonnaise on your chips and then add Sriracha on top in a nice squiggly pattern and throw the bottle of ketchup in the fucking bin.

Freddy's fry sauce is pretty decent. I'm pretty sure it's just ketchup/mayo with some seasonings. They serve small fries that just serve as a scoop for the sauce.

The duck has been transitioned to outside, he's living on the back deck, spending most of his time staring in through the glass. The wife keeps saying things like "He looks cold" It's 18F out, of course he's fucking cold. At least he's not pooping up the tub.

Ducks can survive sub-zero temperatures as long as they don't freeze into the ice, and I swear they produce damn near their body mass in shit each day.  Ours hatched out a dozen ducklings in November, the 10 of them that didn't get eaten by cats survived a very cold winter just fine.  Don't worry too much about it.

Fry sauce around here is ketchup, mayo, and usually something like dill pickle juice.  I hate it, but my kids fucking love it.  They have no taste for good food, though.
