Welcome to Rates and barrels Monday, February 15th.

Eric Van Riper here with Inoceris.

Part two of our starting picture preview. It was two parts when we started. It's already three. I'm looking forward to it, though, because talking pitching with Eno was one of my favorite things to do. You know, how's it going for you on this Monday? Just make it a pitching podcast. Just make it a pitching podcast. I don't think anybody would turn that down we're in the middle

of a three-day weekend for the boys which is not a three-day weekend for the adults which is

always a barrel of laughs yeah you go back to work on tuesday depleted from the long weekend

not rested whatsoever i imagine at least I went into the woods last night.

My friend has a cabin here in the Santa Cruz Mountains,

and it was just deliciously spring, just so wet and just smells amazing.

You know, just a wet pine forest is just, you know,

just really, really nice, you know, made a little fire in the cabin, played some clue, and drank some craft beer, and the kids had a really good time.

So it's good to sort of get out of the house for a second and get into nature,

even if it was just, I guess, sort of dabbing a pinky toe in the nature.

Yeah, just getting a little bit outdoors probably makes things feel a lot better,

at least when it's not negative 8 degrees the way it has been here.

Yeah, for you, I guess that's not really an option right now.

Not yet.

Not quite yet.

Not without eight layers.

Yeah, I love taking the dog out almost all the time, but I don't think Hazel even likes going outside.

It was minus 27.

The wind chill was minus 27 this morning.

Did you say that once you went out and your eyelashes froze?
