Holy hell what a day. Lil Man turns 8 on Monday so we had a gig today. My daughter showed up, haven't seen or spoken to here in almost 4 years? It's been a while. We spoke, it was good. I hope to speak again. It was really nice.

Then we get home and find out the wife's nephew has come out. We've always known, but never said anything. He said he was waiting for his brother to finish high school so his life didn't suck for him his senior year. Being gay in a small redneck town would be rough. Half the fam seems cool so far, dad's side not so much.

I'm gonna have a beer now.

Spent the last few days in Bandon, OR. Sweet little coastal town with killer not crowded beaches and 60 degree weather. Then I found a mtb specific trail system called Whiskey Run that delivers the goods. Very well laid out trails. 10/10 would bang again. This place has lots going for it except jobs.

We took the Leaf. It's good for round trip, plus some moderate puttzing about town with the AC on, without having to charge. I'll keep you in mind though. The round trip is a much closer shave in winter temps. Appreciate the offer, will trade you Thai food for electrons.
Not a fair trade, more electrons in Thai food.

Pipe down, you. All of western Oregon is a filthy antifa infested hellhole. Don't you be telling people otherwise. Nothing to see here.

Rode a new to me trail. Sent a bunch of lines I normally would have never ridden blind, but I was always coming in too fast. Speed is the cause and solution to all of life's problems.

Not yet. But it is on my scenic route to Shasta road trip itinerary for this summer. Assuming that the world out here isn't on fire in a few weeks.
Man it's like Duthie Hill for Coastal Oregon. What a great spot and the Seven Devils beach is minutes away. U R Luckee
