Merry Christmas Monkeys!

Low key the wife and I agreed no presents, then I ordered a photo book of our wedding pictures that have been online for like 8 years, so that went over ok.

Imma go play free golf in the rain at my local goat track. Should be good.

Also doing traditional white people ordering really good Chinese food for dinner on Christmas.

Howdy. Small child got a balance beam and floor mats, in addition to a lot of shit. Large child got a lot of shit, in addition to karting stuff, a bunch of cash, and an amazing hand embroidered hoody from her aunt. I'll post a pic of it later, but it's a stencil from a picture of her in her kart. The colors are right to her kart, suit, and helmet, and it even has the right number on it. Really fucking cool. The cash will be going towards her team race suit - because that's no difference than everybody kicking in $50 to the race suit if she opened a box with it inside.

Edit: here is the sweatshirt Haley's aunt made.

On pause for the winter. Will pick up when the weather breaks to do the steel and pouring for the deck and patio, maybe March but probably April

Woot, rode dirt and didn't have a heart attack. day 30 on thyroxin and Lipitor. I was going to tke it easy and stay on the flats but we all no how that goes when you know that at the top of one of the climbs there is a sweet single track descent. Anyhow I opted for the second longest but moderate climb in the park and amazingly enough I made it 90% of the way up before I had to get off and hike a bike the last 200'. Pics in the last bike ride thread

Are you trying to stay under a particular % of max heart rate? What’s the rationale?

no just the fact that the doc said that right now I am at a high risk for stroke or heart attack until I get my cholesterol down and my fitness back up so I am keeping myself out of the max HR range , so basically trying to stay under 140 bpm. On that Climb I just ran out of gas. I was back to normal in less that 2 minutes after getting off the bike and walking. The last bit of the hill gets effing granny gear steep even when I was fit I would still be in low gears grinding it up. Damn happy with todays effort.

The green beans are incredible. The sesame beef is pretty good, the wings are great, the northern fried rice is meh but goes well with my beef. The wife got the zhen bang chicken and it's also pretty good. 7 of 10, parking isn't great (it's nw 21st).

Ate there on my last visit two springs back. Excellent!

But I enjoyed this place (Vietnamese) even more! Went back several times during my stay.

To be fair dietary cholesterol has only a small effect on serum cholesterol unless one is a hyperabsorber
