Default to ride or not to ride

should i go riding today?

Pros: its snowboarding, for fkuk's sake


Cons: my defroster doesn't work, so I probably shouldn't drive my own car, which means borrowing my friend's slow-as-hell '85 900 and filling it up when I get back. Also, being peak season two days before christmas its likely to be crowded.


Whatever fresh snow they got last night is probably tracked out by now since I slept in. Things I could be doing instead: go to gym, buy some socks and undies, use GC to pick up a new torque wrench.

:dunno:

I figure i've got about an hour to decide h:

wow! $85 goes a long way at harbor freight! I just got a nice creeper w/ adjustable headrest, a 0-200lb 1/2" torque wrench, electric impact gun, and a compression tester. I still got $15 left on my gift card... I almost bought the $30 radio-controlled electric airplane h:

I can ride a half hour from here, but it sucks balls at eldora. My passes are at Winter Park/Mary Jane and Copper Mt this year... so thats 1:15(speeding recklessly)-2:30 depending on traffic and road conditions.
