Was woken up with a crappy call. I am happy I was able to shrug it off and get a good night sleep. Trying to use that to turn this into a good day being productive. I even ironed a shirt!!

Keep up the motivation out there.

Chatting with a guy who went with the vanlife a couple years ago. He was complaining about it and I said "Sounds like you live like a carnie but don't make carnie money." and he just made a face lol.

Morning Monkeys.

Went to a celebration of life for the guy who talked me into joining the VFW a couple years ago. That was tough. Dave was an interesting dude. I didn't get to know him very well and I would swear he didn't like me, but at the beginning of the last meeting he attended he thanked me for being there and for stepping up taking over the QM spot. I've learned that wasn't something he did often, so it's since meant a lot more to me knowing that.

In the dog house because I was a jackass yesterday. May or may not get out of it, but it's race day (at Spa no less), so at least there is that.

Great ride yesterday with @6thElement in the high country. Probably taking the day off the bike today, thinking we might get out on the river because water flows are chill and the sun is hot. Gotta get Teh Spousal Unit™s new drivetrain installated this morning, and go from there. Coffee, do your thing!

ate too much good Chinese food last night. gonna have to try and burn it off today

Espresso is starting to kick in so now semi motivated to do something. I think I will use some ripe starter and make some sourdough to bake later then perhaps go for a ride.

Looked at some property yesterday, too good of a deal to pass up, meeting with the city planner on Monday to ask some questions before pulling the trigger

What a mind fuck. North Bend isn't anywhere close to Bend, nor are they even remotely alike.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Morning. Watching some Olympic coverage with coffee instead of sitting on the deck with a book today. Last SpongeBob show is today then we break the set down.
Met up with some Monkeys for a fun ride at PineHill Park yesterday. The kids crushed it (two 12 year olds and one of them is crazy fast!). Might sign up to make a fool of myself with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra at their Brass Play In this week (I am a woodwind specialist but I have a couple of students that want and should do it so I might have to practice trumpet a bit this week).

Here. I need to be at the airport around 3pm to get the girls. I'm tired as all hell because I haven't slept well for the last few days. Wifey gave me a few chores to do before they got home, so I need to work on those quickly. Also have to spend a few hours catching up on work stuff, because my power went out on Friday afternoon.

Somehow, despite bad sleep Friday night, a day on Monarch Crest yesterday with crappy nutrition afterwards, followed by a bad night of sleep last night, I PR'd the downhill and uphill on my quick hour long out and back road ride I do all the time (I've been down and up the climb hundreds of times, 13 miles, 1650ft of vert).
