When we were at the beach they hoisted the dangerous marine life flag and an hour later we watched a shark chase fish for 20 minutes right off the beach. Between the sharks and gators this state is a long pig buffet.
Happy Father's Day, breeders. I've got an 11:30 brunch date with dad-in-law. Before all that malarky though, I ran 10 miles early this morning.
How hot is it?
Rode my skinny tired bike. Garmin says I didn’t. Lord I despise Garmin products.
Not sure what’s up the rest of the day.

Face felt great on a ride yesterday. Had to work through a bit of the yips on the tech sections, but overall felt pretty good. I think we’re riding again this morning, then a whitewater raft run this afternoon. River’s pretty high right now, should be uhhh interesting?
Not as slow as I was expecting. Managed 14 miles and cleaned a few climbs I wasn't expecting too. Homeward and pool time.
porch coffee, quick ride, then taking younger kiddo to a rugby game.
had a nice hike yesterday and trout for dinner in blowing rock. reminded me i need to get back to riding in the mountains more.

Another hot one today here at weathermonkey.com, good thing I’m picking up the girl from los aeropuerto and spending the day inside, eyebrows, nudge nudge
Drove through 10 miles or so of cattle drive on the highway between john day and Sumptner, Truck and trailer are hammered with cow shit and I can smell it from the curb. Better bust out the pressure washer, BRB
Morning Monkeys.
Driving down to the SIL's for some reason. I will just try to hide on the couch for a few hours before we can leave. I may sneak a smoke in the garage if it gets too much. I can usually find my BIL in there, too.

Mountain bicycled one of my mountain bicycles yesterday for 100 miles. So probably not riding today, especially as it's due to rain this afternoon.
Where'd you ride?
Bout to put this pork butt on and I am applying spices with the hyperkinetic enthusiasm of the Allies applying firebombs to Dresden or Tokyo.
I can smell and taste the smoke from all the fires burning. Going to go far a road ride anyways. Afterwards I need to start putting my fly fishing gear into the camper and get ready for hitting the Carson River next weekend
A proper Junuary weekend.
Well, the espresso is likely just n00b incompetence. It’s like most restaurants, if ‘the’ chef isn’t on, it’s a gamble.
Went to lunch at a local brewery with some friends. Was nice
Afterwards we went to their house and swam. Kiddos had a blast

Hey hey hey
ragefest narrowly avoided. Yesterday I popped the tube in my TT bike’s rear wheel. This is not unusual as latex tubes tend to be iffy near the valve stem, and the stupid valve extenders I have are horrendous. I replaced it today with a tube that immediately flatted. Ha ha. Replaced it with another that I had kicking around, which also flatted. OK sandwich, try not to pinch the fuggin’ tube as you push the tire over the rim (idiot). Threw another tube in and went out for a ride on it for the first time in a year- got a mile down the road and this tube blew too. Wife came and picked me up and I hopped on the other bike. Correct size tube and new valve extenders on order…many curses cursed.
While I was out (which was a beautiful ride, btw) I passed a homey who looked to be walking his bike. I asked if he was OK and he said he was fine, so I went out for my TT loop. Came back and he was still walking. Stopped to chat, told him I would have been happy to give him a tube after my ordeal this morning, but he refused as he was almost to the shop. Don’t be afraid to ask for help homies, it might save you a walk.

Took the clown car out on the sand today for the first time with regular tires, so much horsepower it did fine without sand tires or paddles. A little bit of wheel hop if you get too greedy with he skinny pedal but manageable, Think I will run it for a while and shop around for some sand tires and bead locks as I go.
