Shit son, welcome to my world.looks like this get up at 0330 shit is my new normal. out the door by 0410. Might need to make 4 shots of espresso instead of 3 as my new necessity .
This was supposed to the rescheduled Boston Marathon day. You guys would have been able to kill some time tracking/stalking my progress online during work hours. Sad!! Hopefully next year.
I'm here. "working" from "home".
this mornings espresso was extra tasty. got some new beans, nothing fancy, but something specific for espresso machines, so roasted and mixed as such.
i once ate an entire sashimi boat by myself. and this was after sharing a large sized sushi boat with my wife and cousin.
yes there is. When I worked for Casio the Big Boss came in from Japan. We went to this unmarked Japanese restaurant in San Jose. near the end of the meal they brought out a 3'x4' tray of sushi. there were only 9 of us. The had to be over 250 pieces on it. Half way through we were stuffed. then the head guy says we must honor host and eat all of it. with a 3rd left we are dying. He looks at me and George and says you two are big, you finish. it was the sushi version of the cool hand Luke hard boiled egg eating contest only with Conch and Octopus sushi . George and I did it. I thought I was going to hurl, I ate 80+ pieces of sushi. It took years before I wanted any again

What a day to be alive. Nothing like waking up and taking a deep breath of 'very unhealthy air'.
Working from home today. The air matress I used in my tent the last two nights has apparently fucked up my back. I had it pumped up way too hard.
Tomato plants seem to be on their last legs. Tried that baking soda and sulfate free soap mixture to combat the spread powdery mildew and it seems to have made the plants even worse.

We plantred eggplant in the spring - the first one just flowered. Somehow, I don't expect any fruit from it.
Big ride yesterday, bigger than the numbers would suggest. 26 miles with 3500' vert... but the first 15-16 miles were all the climbing. Then 9-10 miles of rowdy, technical descending. I'm whooped. For the CO folks: Spring Creek > Flash of Gold > Grouse Ridge > Ditch Trail > Spring Roll in Steamboat. Was supposed to ride with @rideit but he broke hisself off. He did oblige us with a couple of shuttles on Saturday, which was awesome.
Dad turns 76 tomorrow, gonna have him over for dinner and beverages. That's gonna be awesome.
The local land manager just implemented sensible use policies on a favorite local trail a few days ago... haven't yet sampled the directional, bikes-only goodness yet but will this week. That's gonna be awesome to let 'em eat at full speed and not worry about murdering a family of five walking up the trail in a blind corner.
That said... the main trail bike needs some love badly. Cables are worn out, she's got some creaks, rear wheel has become somewhat detensioned... yeah. Gonna need to spend some time in the shop soon. Good thing I bought beer the other day.

Ooh, fancy. Why did they rename Apex to Magic Mountain? That's goofy.
whatever happened to your supervisor job?! I thought you'd put the working stiff life behind you?!looks like this get up at 0330 shit is my new normal. out the door by 0410. Might need to make 4 shots of espresso instead of 3 as my new necessity .
I am working from home with my wife, and without kids in the house for the first time since all this baloney happened. I'm having a hard time keeping it in my pants. All I want to do is head to the bedroom!
buddies on the CO/UT road trip liked apex apparently . . . the starvas and the social medias indicate that they did a shuttled ride at pikes peak yesterday.
And tire on the car has gone flat, and is now leaking from the bead significantly enough that i cannot reinstate it. Lame. Good thing I have two vehicles?
Its near the site of the former Magic Mountain amusement park. Not sure why they decided to change the name, but here we are.
Covid happened. A lot of employees quit including EMTs. So back into the field I went.
Lots of particular mushrooms on said mountain??
Here' feeling the weekend of moving couches.....
Bike assemblage to start tonight, hard tail for the flow trail.
After 40 years of backwoods camping - The trick to a camping sleeping pad is all in the amount of air, and it can be a bit of a pain to get it just right, but when you do, they are surprisingly comfortable, even for somebody with Facet-Joint Syndrome.
Basically, you want just enough air to suspend your body just above the ground when laying on your side. Your hip should be just above the ground so that if you reposition, your hip should just brush the ground.
This give the most support and comfort.
No, I'll have you know.I did a 3 mile loop yesterday. 1st ride since (I think) you and I did Staunton/Cub.

Shades of Tsali...It is directional?
Becuase Magic Mountain is a roller-coaster amusement park in SoCal that rolls shit FAST?
I'd prefer a pop quiz if you don't mind.
Oh, you're not broken? You chose not to ride with us this weekend why again? What I heard was "Something something can't lift my arm above my navel something something ow something poorly built hip jump definitely not because I'm an old talentless hack something something"...
