Tired from a good ride last night. Felt my strength training helped me better steer the bike but now I have tired hands. There is always a weak link.
Nice summer day. I think I need to use the grill to cook some food and enjoy the last bits of real summer.

Rode my bicycle yesterday on some rocks. Will likely stay home today as news indicates Trump is coming to town and already shitty traffic will be shittier.
Woke up t 4:30AM with a decent headache, near 18hrs later it's almost gone.
Not sure why but over the counter drugs do nothing for headaches.
Might wear my oximeter tonight to make sure it's not the apneas being a dick again, fun times.

Dude I ate half a container of chili garlic yesterday, I can assure you that is not the issue. Actually I don't even know what the issue was. I wrote that post when I was younger.
Wife got home from Italy last night and brought a case of COVID back with her. She was snoring so bad last night that I had to go sleep on the couch. Poor wife.
Our couch is about two inches too short, as I can't quite fully extend my legs when I lie down. I've been wanting to get a new living room set because ours is 20 years old and the couch is wearing down (I spend a lot of time on it watching sports and playing with my laptop).

Another ride in a deluge of rain yesterday, it’s like the fifth one this year. We’re have an unusually wet summer, and I’ve been caught out in it more than I’d like trying to sneak rides in between storms, before storms, or just thinking the rain was done for the day. I’m feeling good on the pedals, but my descending has been suffering since crashing on my face. Just can’t seem to focus and I’m botching stuff I haven’t had issues with in a long time. Riding too slowly, too much hesitation. Trying to be patient and maybe cut myself some slack, but dang is it frustrating. Maybe getting older is factoring in as well, but just before the crash I *think* I was riding about as well as I ever have. Anyways, lots of people in this world struggling with deeper shit than just some silly “I can’t ride my bike as fast as I used to” issues. Like, way deeper shit. Thanks for coming to my pep rally.
They used to run a commercial at 10 pm "Do you know where your kids are?" cause people would straight up forget. The parenting bar was really low back then.
Morning Monkeys.
No idea what today holds, but the knee isn't great. It's not terrible by any means, but I'm still maybe 70%. Maybe that's where I should be, my post op is Friday, so I guess I will know after that. I am hoping I just way overdid it this weekend.

what kind of moto goodness did you get? eh?
Soooon. Wish it was sooooner.
Hands down the best part of my childhood was being able to disappear into the woods for 12 hours a day.
Hit the shed before ya send.
BB gun fights where we try to shoot each other in the eyes! Rule was no more that two pumps but you know I didn't follow that rule much. I shot one kid in the forehead and the BB was half embedded, he picked it out with his fingernail. Good times.
This is slowly creeping in for me. Last time I rode Deer Crik I didn't ride down The Wall - 1st time ever. Just didn't feel comfortable at the time with the chance of crashing.
And so it goes...
i did that with a rock that got embedded in my scalp one late night during a bmx street ride in college. 4 staples to close my scalp. i wore a helmet after that.
Yeah man, I just don't feel comfortable post crash. Maybe it's all the wet? I've never been a fan, that's shit is slippery! Freaks me out.
@Full Trucker - i hear ya. i'm generally a bit more cautious nowadays...partly because i've been riding less. on dh days it definitely takes me 4-5 runs to find my speed. same on most rides, especially in the hills like where we were.
It's understandable, for sure.
Could be. Wet shit is definitely a different animal...
