Weather in the high country looks good, heading up to ride with Teh Spousal Unit™ and a friend or two. Then probably music downtown, maybe fireworks but maybe to bed early.

Ugh, definitely sick. Called in sick to work, because sick (duh), but also because I was up all night coughing, so didn't really sleep all that much.

Luckily the girlfriend has been gone since Saturday and is staying at her parents cottage until tomorrow, so she hasn't had to partake in the festivities.

Just saw our cat Fernie, eating a fern. Figures. And has barfed it up of course.

Here. Sort out post-trip and get ready for tomorrow. Haley has her league race tomorrow night and has barely practiced, so K1 for a while today. Lots of study.

Right now somebody is picking their nose, not realizing it’s the last time they’ll ever get a good deep booger recovery. In mere moments they’ll be blowing their hand off with some multi colored freedom smuggled in from Mexico.

Happy birthday America

Smuggled in from Mexico, and probably made in China. Nothing says “patriot” like exporting dollars to countries you demonize in order to celebrate the greatness of your country.

I will admit to enjoying bottle rocket warfare as a youth, but fuck the glorification of war in all forms...

There was one moment where I almost became one of those x rays. It was so close. I am very lucky!
I was 14 and had a sack of m80s at the beach on 4th of July. I was also drinking and smoking, haha. I was lighting and throwing the m80s, when I spaced out and lit the m80 and was watching the fuse go down. My friend asked me if I was going to throw it, and I tossed it quickly. It went off, knocking my hand back and rendering me deaf for the rest of the night.

Thinking about it still gives me the shivers. I've done some stupid shit.

Made an absolutely hilarious amount of pasta salad intending to bring it to my brothers house, last minute decisions were made and we didn’t feel like going, so I guess I’m eating 5lbs of pasta salad for dinner?

Can’t let fresh mozzarella go to waste:drool:

Started today at 4:30 with a plan to wake up while riding, turned into a flat tube and sliced tire. Glad it happened then because the new tube popped before seating the tire. Road bike plan Xed. Took to the gravel bike I'll be racing next week and put on some bottle cages. Missed the group but had a good ride up to a restaurant which maybe has my debit card. 112 miles 8k ft done. I'm sunburned

The dick show was pretty good. Er, I mean the fireworks show up at Dick's Sporting Goods Park visible from my house was/is pretty good. I stepped outside to see a bit of it. Boom, fizzle, sparkle, etc.
