Got our first 2 days of skiing in. Now my pass price is down to $250 a day. Today was also onsie day. This usually happens over Christmas break but the snow has been horrible the entire season so this was the day. A Christmas Story bunny, Grogu and a Llama meet in a bar…

I’ve seen this shakedown in every mob movie made the last 40 years. Time for the #25A for anyone who has a spine and loves this country.

Today we celebrate The Epiphany! As the story goes, the three wise men have found their way to Bethlehem to bring gifts to baby Jesus who is also baptized. And with this, the holiday season has come to a close…

There are 8 congressional districts in CO, split down the middle R’s and D’s. There are 64 counties in CO with 40 of them won by Trump in 2024 election. Granted the front range of CO is Blue and popular, but to say he has no representation or can’t win here is laughable.

Finally finished up Season 5 of @strangerthings.bsky.social and we have tix for the final tmrw morning at the movie theatre. All shows at this point are sold out for tonight.

Got a few bikepacking trips in CO and WY. Also watching my youngest finishing top 30 in all his freshman high school mtb races this fall with ZERO racing experience in fields of 80 racers.

Day 13 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. Couldn’t let this one not be included. De Dolle Stille Nacht, brewed by Oerbier and very hard to get in CO. Bought this one at The Sovereign in DC last summer. 12%, no head, sweet throughout the swallow and a full of flavor. Merry Christmas!

You’re GOD DAMN right I’m watching this tonight…along with some claymation ones. #CharlieBrownChristmas

Day 12 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. Delirium Noël is a great finishing beer for this advent. Amber color, fruity flavor once it starts to breathe and warm up. But who don’t love a pink elephant wearing a Santa hat? Even the big elephant made an appearance this year at Denver Belgium Beer Week!

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Day 11 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. A 2021 Straffe Hendrik Xmas Blend. An oak aged quad that is smooth at 11%. This beer is aged in either bordeaux, rum or calvados barrels then blended with a younger quad before another fermentation happens in the bottle. Truly nectar of the gods….

🚨🚨NEWS FLASH🚨🚨 Race bike that was last used in 2013, when I was 43…doesn’t fit in 2025 by yours truly with old man back issues. Reach is to long, stem is to long, steerer tube is to short, gearing is to big, angle is to low….that ride was a shit show today.

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. Originally brewed only for Christmas, Stella Artois, brewed in Leuven, is now seen year round. A Pilsner that is golden with a light fluffy head that’s easy drinking. The glass has a star in the stem since Stella is Latin for star.

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Day 9 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. The weather was good so this became my bicycle trail beer. St Bernardus Christmas Ale. 10% love of the greatest works that monks have ever done. For some reason in the US, 4pk of cans is $10USD cheaper than a 4pk of bottles. They can never put out a bad beer!

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers and this one that I’ve never heard of. De Ranke Pere Noël. A carmel colored, fluffy head that is hoppy! An unfiltered and unpasteurized ale. Not something you get from Belgium normally. Brewed in Dottignies, southern Belgium in the Wallonia region.

040

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Day 7 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. La Chouffe N’ice. A dark 10% holiday beer brewed with spices and gives you the warm fuzzies on a cold night. You can always count on the Gnomes of the Ardennes to create something good.

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Day 6 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. Just happens to be another De Halve Maan product. Straffe Hendrik Brugs Quadrupel Ale 11%. Opening in 2016, was a 3K pipeline from the brewery to Zee Brugge where the bottling plant is. Another amazing wonder of the Belgium Beer scene…

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. Bruges Zot, zot is Flemish for Idiot or Fool. A top fermented beer from De Halve Maan located in downtown Brugge. Served today in my Brugs Blond glass that I got on our honeymoon back in 2003. De Halve Maan has been around since 1856.

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Day 4 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. The gateway beer for most of us. Duval is the OG Belgie. Blond strong ale, big foamy head and they offer some of the craziest painted glasses around.

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Day 3 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. Maybe the coolest Belgium glass to have, Kwak! A big strong amber beer with malty flavors, a hint of spices, carmel flavor and sweet after taste. This was part of last years Christmas present that is just getting used.

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Day 2 of the 12 Days of Belgium Beers. A second year collab from St Bernardus and Weihenstephan. Kombine is unfiltered Helles beer, full bodied blond. Not an easy find here in the states. Had this in June at Belgium Beer Weekend here in town on draft. Knew then, I had to have more.

011

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Today starts my 12 Days of Belgium Beers. Of course you have to start with St Bernardus Abt 12 on 12/12 day. I don’t have this one often but I do love the full flavor that it has…

Getting a bit of culture tonight with the family. A full performance with the tv show, with actors and the Colorado Symphony.

Probably the last day of riding in shorts. It was 60* and blue skies. Rode home from City Park, 25 miles on the path. Now dressed up like Nanuck of the North for the tree lighting in downtown Littleton. Either way, the margaritas are always tasty regardless of the weather.

You know when you have your first beer at 10a on the annual Thanksgiving ride it’s going to be a GREAT day! Love hanging with fellas, riding, catching up and seeing others in the parking lot doing the same. Had some Westmalle Triple, Val-Dieu Winter Ale and Screwball peanut butter whiskey shots.

3rd beer was not holiday. It was an amazing brown sour from Liefmans. An amazing beer called Goudenband. I would drink these all day if I could.

2nd beer of the night was local. A Colorado favorite of Odell’s Isolation Ale.

#DearLeader can’t get his way so now she’s old and sick…She was tried in the reddest county in CO, by a trail with a Republican DA, majority Republican voters and they saw the crimes and lies she told. She provided false creds to an individual to access the voting machines. Enjoy the holidays Tina!

Ponied up for some new #45Nrth Wolvhammer boots for fatbike season. You gotta break them in just like any other shoe. Too bad it’s 70* again today with no snow in the cast for town.

And we’re done…suspension is in the park but will have to bracket it next week when we have time. HS mtb training will start in June for Aug races. Those pedals are for test rides since he won’t ride clipless.

A MILESTONE has been achieved. My oldest is graduating today. I graduated at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 1988 and he will walk across the same stage. He’s already played here 3 times with the HS band for graduations past. So proud of him and what he’s grown into. #ProudFMVCParents

As a parent, it’s my duty and obligation to make sure our boys have culture in their lives. Concerts, musicals, plays, traveling to foreign countries…and movies. Also, I’m 1 degree away from Kevin Bacon.

Went out and did some casting today. It was a brisk 40*. We didn’t even see a fish so no fishing happened. Did enjoy Reubens Fest Beer from my home neighborhood of Ballard.

Before Blauw, I had a 2007 BMW 530XiT wagon and that was an amazing car for the time. KFM is a bit shorter and has more giddy up power. Can’t wait for the first real road trip to happen. Already have my Thule box installed.

fritesenmayobe.bsky.social @fritesenmayobe.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

About 10 days before Blauw was crashed, I was finally able to find a car for myself. I’d been searching passively since early 2020. Took a week to get it lined up. Say hello to KFM (Kung Fu Moose) a 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country. 42k miles, all options with the City Weave interior. Gonna be fun!
