mow the grass then get a quick ride in before heading out to the backcountry for some native trout on the fly rod. Be good out there my fellow internet friends and try to be nice to others.

I got up at 4:15 this morning to get my run in before sunrise. It was still very warm and very humid, and the fucking BUGS were relentless. I had to stop my run at 7 miles because I just couldn't take the swarming bugs any longer. I'll run a few more miles later today on the high school track where bugs are minimal but sun is 100% unshaded. In the meantime, it's another Saturday in the office for me.
would run in plastic bubble to avoid bugs.
Spent the night in the hammock under the stars, glad it has a fully enclosed bug net. feeding the dogs and making coffee
yesterday's ride drained my tank. going to have some breakfast and maybe try for an easy pedal then do pads/rotors on my car.
This morning's ride started just like the last night's one ended - hot, humid, with bugs. Thunderstorms in the forecast will put a cap on house projects today.
Mornin!
SLC in July, in our camper, with no hookups, made for a rather uncomfortable night.
Now we wait till we can check into our campsite and 3 PM and enjoy the sweet, sweet AC.

Cloudy and rainy, very PNW up in this bitch. Sore and pretty beat up, coffee was 11/10 this morning. Gonna be a lazy day.
Are you ever going to join the 'real' world again?
All packed up to be heading out at the butt crack of dawn Sunday for some fishing from my kayak
I will in September
Wifey and I will be in Colorado through July, then work our way east, up into Canada, then drive south through Maine and into MA where we commence living with my in-la....err, roomates.
All in all I will have been out of work since last June. No regrats.
Flying to my hometown for grampa’s funeral today. My girlfriend and her sister are driving from RI, so they dropped my gal off in IN with my P’s this afternoon since it was on the way. Now I’m at the gate before they started boarding... Having a beer, collecting my thoughts.
Got a 24 for loan if you're interested...
And you never made it through here?I will in September

Or did you?
I'll come get it tomorrow.
BOOM.
Because I want to be like @AngryMetalsmith when I grow up, wife, myself and dog shaped object did a 5hr hike, 10 miles, 2500ft vert.
Wifey wants to do an 8 hr, 4000 vert hike in August.

We passed through last summer. Spent maybe 3 or so days in the Tetons before jetting up to Glacier.
We did the Lake Solitude hike into the Tetons which may be the most incredible hike I've done in my life, replete with appearances by a griz and bull moose.
Got a 3+ hour hike in this evening followed by tacos carnitas. Freaking hot out there today.
walked a total of 9 miles today. finished off with a brisk hour walk. My ankle is pissed off at me. It's not bad for 14 weeks after breaking my ankle I just wish the stupid thing would stop hurting. I can push though the discomfort but damn is it annoying.
Chilling in Boise, this place, LOL. Eating food in prep of a hopefully good and large ride tomorrow in the foothills.
I was disturbed by the number of people at lake solitude. However I will argue that the hike from Death Canyon Shelf to Lake Solitude is pretty damn awesome.
Go in late October.
I have a love hate relationship with the Tetons. One of the coolest places I have been but everything within easy reach of the masses was overcrowded. Perhaps off season is the way to go.
Yes, it is.
But there is also a few million acres of national forest and wilderness to get lost in and see not a single human soul, even on the busiest of tourist days.
You just gotta get a few miles away from the Valley.
How is your thumb?

I did a 6 day backpacking trip through the Tetons a decade ago. It was possibly the best week of my life. Would have stayed there had I enough food. The back country was amazing but the solitude was broken when we skirted the edge and were within a day hike.
Thumb still sucks but I can at least now do short rides.
Dip your thumbs in Tabasco, should correct the thumb sucking issues.
YNP is the same way. Day hikes and asphalt nightmares but walk away from those scenes and find solitude, endless solitude.
