Really good ride last night legs even felt good this morning. Kind of a shame I will be off the bike the next two week but heading to Milan first and then directly on to Singapore. I guess a fair trade off.

First time in Italy since 1989 so it will be quite interesting to taste the food down there this time around. I hardly like pasta back then as my mom cooked the worst pasta. Not even sure what she cooked would qualify as pasta. Growing up in a small farming town the selection of fancy food was limited and mom grew up a farm cooking Danish food.

Our foster dog has an application on her, so hopefully she'll be in a permanent home soon. She's a good dog, but high energy that requires constant watching. I'll be happy when I no longer have that to deal with that.

:wave:
fresh cable/housing makes such a difference, I don't know why I wait so long between changes.
3 outta 4 nights without much sleep. I should pop some (more) pills later.

Managed to commute back home in 44 minutes last night- beating what I could do in a car. Yay! That time will drop when they finish the bridge by next summer, which should cut like 5 minutes out of the way. Commute was mostly enjoyable with some hard R regards trying to race me in their pickup truck, which ended abruptly when we got to the next light and I passed everybody in traffic. Then, since waltham has the civil planning of a 2nd grader, I was able to go through the intersection on a pedestrian signal. So Mr. Pickup truck lost bigly and off I scooted. EEB is definitely the way to go, for now.

Popped a disc in my back. Not fully but there is an injury since when I had a minor back fracture 2 years ago I created what usually is a genetic disease of a popped block vessel to a disc. Now my bike trip before new jurb is canceled... ffs. Need to work on upper back muscle for this not to happen... Spent money planned for a trip on a Garmin watch since I'm going hiking with GF soon.
