Happy 4th of July, I guess.
Making espresso in the camper then walking the dogs then the horse. Ruth competes at 0820 this morning
Did some gardening and fixed a broken stone wall and now its pissing down. My hope for some freedom BBQing looks lost :-(
So upset I missed Trumps Mount Rushmore speech last night...NOT!
My Garmin told me I needed 3 1/2 days rest after yesterdays ride.
So I shall go ride today just to annoy it.

FDR?
yes sir.
I just ran a 10K time trial in 39:59. Not bad!! 400' elevation drop the first mile, although that wasn't exactly easy on my quads. Looks like I'm being roped into some mounting biking now.
61 miles yesterday with 4800 vert. White trash neighbors partied well past 3 am. Holy balls am I tired.
Felicitations on our liberation from our weak tea loving overlords!
Spent yesterday building 50' of rock wall. Reclaimed 4' of driveway in the process. See
Now, it's off to my parents for a cookout.

where'd you ride?
after spending the day up on the blue ridge parkway hiking, hanging by creeks, and seeing those synchronous fireflies (which were pretty cool, even if it was the tail end of their season), got a whole lotta nothing on tap today other than grilling some steaks later.
Feeling free, haven’t put on pants yet, but have had a bourbon. Wife’s friend is pissed at us for not attending her kids birthday party today, and being a real cunt about it, so I’m celebrating the freedom of probably never having to attend her shitty get togethers ever again.
Did the fireworks burn the place down? Rarely do I root for wildfires, but there are exceptions

Anybody in the market for a 10yo, wrong-wheel-size frame in slightly used condition? Buyer pays shipping.
Ironically, they sent me a front triangle 4-5 years ago when a rock punched through the top tube. Must have had to search the warehouse and dust it off.
That frame has been through some shit. Definitely got my money's worth considering I think I paid $600 for it new and lasted 10yrs...

Happy indie day 'murcan cousins!
I'm at the beach with the family. I fucking hate the beach. Shitty ass techno on Bluetooth speakers, sand, packing the car, stopping the car caus the kids are being a pain in the ass. No amount of thongs can make this worthwhile.

The trick is LSD. Powerful LSD. The walk across the sand to the water looks like a million miles of baking heat, the water cool and inviting. The gulls pinwheel across the sky in slow motion, their eyes wise beyond their evolution. The sun makes the water into a hundred thousand glimmering diamonds. The seaweed touching your foot stops your fucking heart.
Ruth kicked butt this morning. Riding FEI Intermediate 1 in front of a Olympic Level Judge she got a 75.588%
With that score she moves up to the number 2 ranked horse and rider pair in the USA. (Open level ranking for horse of the year)

Still enjoying those flashbacks I see.
I live by the beach it's not bad. Quality pizza, draft beer and always something to look at ;-)
Don't get me wrong... I'm really glad lots of *other* people like beaches. 
Haven’t been on a beach since the late 90s. Keep saying I’ll go, but somehow I always end on top of a mountain. Go figure.
I loved the beach. Early in the morning, while surfing and nobody was there yet. Then leaving once the wind picked up and people decided to show up. Then you go ride when everyone is going for water because it's too hot to ride.Don't get me wrong... I'm really glad lots of *other* people like beaches.
I've hung a half and half combo Union Flag/Murican Flag the last few years to annoy people.
At this point the only country I think is winning freedom is NZ.
Rode with a friend I have not seen since covid started. Good ride & post ride beers. Stayed a little longer than expected, now wife is pissy. Covid makes it hard to recover with a quick trip to a beach town or our favorite bar.
Izzat a whole mess of Chinese Titanium?In contrast to CBJ (who is located farther East) it is pissing down since really early today. I got cheered up a little by these goodies though.
