High rate of failure on the Wordle today.

My weekend is here! Headed up to Kingdom Trails for the weekend to ride bikes with the Splats. On top of the amount of fun I'll have, it'll be a nice break from Ironman training.

Awake. Got Xcel bill today - $0 for electricity with only half the month have panels installed. Bill is also net $100 less (panels + gas) than prior two bills. I think this will be profitable.

ADHD Dr appointment in 3hrs.

hello friendos

wrecked today. Rough 24h. Big kid has strep again. Little kid seems to not, but he refuses to go into his gymnastics class because he doesn't know anybody, which is a bummer. Attended the kids' open house last night only to get a migraine just as we were about to leave. Fucking annoying, but at least it's gone before the race next weekend. I am so over this shit. Feel like ass today and ready for death.

Are there old stones or something in the ground there?
No, it’s like a mesh that holds the track together when it’s really wet. A bit like a dry ski slope, but for dirt. They add it the very occasional bit that’s prone to washing out. That section isn’t super steep by any means but it’s still a lot steeper than the photo looks at first glance.

Hello all. Not working today, so errands and the like to knock off the list. Also will likely get knee radiographs and a DVT ultrasound since my right knee is twinging a bit—no doubt negative but probably a good idea to check.

Sweet baby jeebus,

Even at 4am the SLC traffic is an absolute masterclass in chit shows.

couldn’t imagine being a firemedic or cop during real rush hours
i worked in SLC for a while. It's basically LA but with another mountain range instead of the pacific ocean, and mormons instead of scientologists.

Called my aunt in Phoenix for her birthday yesterday (she turned 90!). I asked the weather and she said it wasn't too bad yesterday, just a little over 100° :eek::nope:

Ya. Thus have been Pelotoning one handed with no doubt weird mechanics.

Also possible that the statin I started myself on a month or three ago is causing this aChe.

Chillin in Bandon. About to hit the trails. Ocean air is not smokey.

SLC has no redeeming factors. Even the dust blowing off the lake is laden with arsenic, poisoning the entire metro area.



Next bitcoin? You mean like clean water and toilet paper?

Dr was a no-show. Called me 30min late to reschedule for next week. That's cool. I don't have shit to do with my time.
