How it are, bruhvers? I drove to the lake early this morning and swam a mile. The water was beautiful. I didn't need to wear a wetsuit, but I wore one anyway because it makes swimming easier and I am a lazy fuck. Two cups of coffee down, one to go.
Good morning. Currently walking the new pup. Have had my coffee and a good morning porcelain growler session. Once the pup goes into the crate for her nap I can actually go for a ride.
The itch, the ooze.

Have heard anecdotal things about the attitude towards bikes by motorists and officials. This however is pretty shocking.

I propose replacing 50% of toronto police vehicles with bicycles. The remaining 50% minivans.
Dafuq?

Cops apparently suffer from half missing brain in every country.
I used to live in that pink brick building to the right in that picture. I can see our windows overlooking the Chicago river.
This has been your Nick fun-fact for today.
Carry on.
He said sorry, though.
Not siding with the police officer who actually hit someone, but I have a feeling that some of the cyclists down there in that park are trying to get tickets.
If you search for "high park biking" (maybe add toronto) you'll see this has been going on for a while now, in this particular park.

currently debating going to a mandatory fun outing at work. I have an excuse, which is that my family had COVID and I will need to wear a mask if I go, but this is also a good opportunity to fuck off and ride bikes. So, do I go to a place that I don't enjoy with coworkers, show face and bond a little with a free sandwich and beer, or do I fuck off towards mt wachusett on a 70 mile bike ride that might kill me?
How would you know how fast you are going on a bike that has no speedometer? How does the police know?
How is that even a question?
Definitely the bike thing. I mean... it's not even really a close race.
Ipods apparently survived a trip to a bucket of paint without an ill effect, so that's cool. I hope to wrap up this stupid home project this weekend so I can start stressing about other items on wife's must-do-before-vacation list. 
I think I became a vacation hater.

Sandwich without coworkers >>> sandwich with coworkers
Mowed the lawn, cleaned the ho tub filters, cut and glued some post caps, made breakfast for wifey…think I’ll take a nap, and then go ride before the monsoonal rains. (Got up at 4:00 for no reason). At least that’s the plan. Hope you all are having a Good Friday.

Yo. Beach day today, but first need to track down some good coffee and a breakfast burrito.
Man... it just refuses to properly cool off 'round here at night these days. And it's bread day, so oven is going to be deployed. Guess I should probably plan on turning on the
DAMMIT, man. Send that monsoon east a bit, will ya??
Struggling to cool it down below 72 before bed, then in the morning just about getting it down to 70 before shutting all the windows again.

Temps are perfect here right now. Last night it got down to 60f.
Not rubbing it in at all*.
*don't worry I'm sure after me typing that, the humidity will spike next week.
It has been rather warm here recently but still reliably getting into the 50s at night. When I went backpacking last weekend it got into the low 20s at night. Had ice form on my rainfly from my breath condensing.
Got a good post work ride in yesterday. Shit is getting dry and loose, had some interesting yaw angles.

Yeah - we can *usually* get it down to 70F inside by early morning, but the overnight lows have been in the high 60's and even low 70's the past couple weeks. Which means by 5pm it's usually low 80's inside. Which drives us out to the front porch for G&T's and beers, generally. So I guess it's not all bad.
Howdy folks, long time no talk.
Finally tested negative for the Vid, and of course after living with me for two weeks and not catching it my wife started school and instantly caught it, the kiddo too, so back to chilling at home for them.
Yay!

If I die before I wake, I pray to the [aging] indy punk as fuck gods my soul to take

Not going to lie, having total PTSD about going to a show despite the fact that live music and pints are the two things I missed most during Covid corn-teen.
But it's a brand new [to me] venue and they appear to have old geezer seating up high.
Who doesn't love getting high?
