Happy 'I Bred' day

Slept better. Wife is making me corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast, then off to ride some DH laps. a bit more vaca packing and prep. Filet and scallops for dinner. I do need to mow the lawn at some point.
Walked the dogs, coffee, walk the horse, watch Ruth ride the horse, load everything into the trailer, drive to home bard unload all that shit. Go home drink beer and BBQ that is my day.
Yo! My triathlon yesterday followed my usual script: Average swim, good bike, strong run. 2500' of climbing on the 23.5 mile bike course...tough one. I finished 45/157 overall and 8/21 in my age group. I need to be a better swimmer if I'm ever going to be competitive. But, whatever.
8 mile MTB ride done early this morning. Heading out for brunch with dad-in-law at some fancypants French restaurant. Meh, give me bacon, eggs, and waffles.

I kilt a rattler on the back porch yesterday and built a bunny hop bar last night. We gonna host a bunny hop competition on Tuesday. Should be fun.

Favorite coffee shop opened up this week after being closed for the pandemic. Decided to strap the boot cast on my bad foot and suffer the pain to get some espresso. I roll up to see they are closed today. I guess Father’s Day is a thing.
At least there were multiple homeless camps around it. Particularly depressing after watching Decline of Western Civilization III.

Speaking of breeding, wifey is actively researching Golden Retriever puppies. I have always had Norwegian Elkhound/Shepherd mixes, so this would be new territory. However, I would like an ‘easy’ dog, as the NE mixes can be a serious handful. We are not really looking for a trail/ski dog, but more a companion who loves everyone, doesn’t bark, and doesn’t need a leash (excellent voice recall).
We will get by, We will survive
Dh laps accomplished. Time for Focal Banger. Kids are gonna wash the dh bike. Then some corn hole and hot tub.
Lucky.
I had forgotten what the summer sun smells like when it cooks dog piss in your yard. Thanks to my neighbor for reminding me, as my kitchen window opens right into that now.
This would be the time to start a hog farm like you have always wanted to. And no, I am not searching 'hog farm' on UD.
Well this was surprisingly pleasant. The food wasn't great, but we were outside under an umbrella on a hot sunny day, sitting in a roped off section on a street.
Shot another chipmunk this morning for a total of 60. They just keep coming. Let a colony of ants harvest the carcass for a while before burying the evil little bastard. Recycle...
BBQ rattler tastes really good
drove from old greenwich, ct to sebago lake, me. ate roast pork and had drinks on porch overlooking lake. horseback ride tomorrow...maybe find some trails for a bile ride too.
Wait, are we a fly-over country now?
Friends of mine bred those things and Christ they were dumb, friendly things that smell, drop lots of long fur and some barked quite a bit. They were also inbred as most expensive dogs are so they had to have small ops to fix weird eyes and shit up before the potential buyers got to see them.
I'd never have a pure bred because it doesn't mean shit to me, plus, mixes live longer and the parents didn't screw their cousins. Rescue dogs FTW!
lol we were making a beeline for the house, didn't come near the city. MA is usually the worst part of our drive - 90 and 485 in the summer (and especially on the weekends) can eat a bag of dicks. also, no way you'd want my whole crazy fam descending on your peaceful abode. next time i'm up that way solo . . . beers and bikes FO SHO.Wait, are we a fly-over country now?
hey @Rockland - ever been to Blackstrap? Libby Hill? worth it? May also go up and check out the new dh park at Mt. Abram. we'll be up closer to you later in the week. maybe finally hit up the ragged mountain area...
Dammit... now I'm hungry for *that*...
Gravedig. Hope you had a good one. I was out of state on vacation myself.
