I'm one of the safety parents accompanying a group of kids doing their roller ski practice for my kids' nordic ski club. It's a nice day to be farting around on a bike in the forest. Even if I'm on parkways.

Edit: only one accident in my group.
A girl busted her binding and skinned her knee. Tough as nails she was: when offered a lift back, she declined and ran back in her ski boots. She's 12! I'm impressed by the grit and determination.

Was supposed to be rainmageddon starting at lunchtime, looks like that doesn't begin until this evening now.

So I guess a bicycle ride is in order.

@Toshi The wife’s brother-in-law’s visiting from Japan. One of the first questions he asked was, “doesn’t anybody here use washlets?”

Feeling like a shitheel as I sit here on my ass watching the team pick grapes, bc borked-knee is still borked. At least the weather and view are nice…

Kart decided upon. New motor ordered.

The guy who said he was going to buy the old kart changed his mind, so I get the fun of selling the old one open market now. The only thing I really have going for me is that her motor is super strong, so people are already asking for just the motor.

Celebrity sighting. I saw him at the post office. I couldn’t bring myself to interact and request a selfie. He looked busy pulling stuff out of a garbage bag and stuffing it in a self-service window slot.
