I accidentally a whole bbq chicken pizza last night. Downhilling will do that to you. Hung out with the kids and chilled in the hot tub while the wife was out with the neighborhood milf club.
Garden stuff today. Maybe a bike ride this afternoon? Probably do some grilling tonight

Lawn activities planned for today. Rode yesterday and managed a good crash down an embankment about 10 feet. Shoulder is a little sore.
At my mother in law's. Yesterday we celebrated my wife's birthday, her mom's birthday, her dad's birthday, her brother's birthday and two of his kids' birthdays. We call it the "super fiesta".
Will take the kids to go the Biodôme in downtown Montreal as soon as she gets back from her walk with her mom.
Missing a return visit from one of my buddies who moved away last year. A bunch of the guys are at another buddy's house at the hill for some riding and some grilling (Mont Sainte Marie for those that know it). Kinda bummed to be missing it, but it's nice to see family too.

get car back from shop tomorrow with new tire and, according to them, no other damage (hit an exposed-and non-flourescent-painted) manhole cover the other night in the rain where they had the street ripped up).
writing deadline on weds; should then be able to chill for a bit, fuck off and ride bikes a bit, and start work on future projects.

You still planning what you texted me about?
yeah...will figure that part out next...looks like we'd be driving up thurs/fri/sat (?) and pick them up on sun...
Iceland on the way to München with initial destination being Berchtesgaden.
Went to the Blue Lagoon today - that's a pretty good way to spend a layover...
So not Iceland the grocery store then, got it.
if only i knew....

PSA for all the coffee drinkers.

6th overall and won my old bastard age group. I cranked the five miles of running, and my bike was acceptable. 800' of climbing for the 10 mile ride. Splat was there too take lots of pics and join us for breakfast after.
No photos... so you'll have to take my word for it. Also - jetlag sucks. Trying to stay up until 8pm local time.
@jonKranked Continuing form yesterday's 'retire early' conversation - reduce spending on core expenses.
Phones are an easy one. Most major carriers are super expensive. We switched to Google Fi a couple years back and are paying $80/m for four lines.
With utilities, it's finding efficiencies and using outstanding discounts. Xcel here will do a household energy assessment to help identify where you can drop energy usage . Everything from using LED bulbs (sold for almost free) to insulation improvements (with huge discounts) and identifying things like leaking windows and offering super low rate loans for windows and solar.
Then coupons too. I use apps for Cashback, store apps for coupons, and old fashioned paper coupons.
A budget will do far more to get you to be able to retire early than just about anything else. Preventing impulse buys will save tons too. And every time you save money on something, that money automatically goes into savings.

Why were you logged in from Iceland? Dumbass.
Never a bad idea. Definitely one of the best tools available once you’ve achieved a certain level of income and wealth (probably a given for most of us on a mountain bike forum).
To a point. There are people who are in situations that can’t be budgeted out of. But I certainly agree that for most people it’s still good to have a budget and be aware of spending habits. Maybe not always for the goal of early retirement, but just life in general.
Why though?
They invested in toilet paper futures.Why though?
SMRT
what about avocado toast tho
You would enjoy driving my EQB btw. Nice and zippy up GGC Rd (paying much attention for bikers climbing, of course).
Rode at Maryland mtn. One good lap while the crew took 1.5, still haven't tried the new dumb trail. I am le tired.
