In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Holiday pay! Also, only 2 more days of work after today, then I'm off for a month. The temptation to be "sick" is already strong. Must resist........

Daughter hasn't been sittings regularly for like a week. Was up with her from 430 until probably 6. Ugh.
'Morning. Working from home, but working nonetheless. Training class is surprisingly engaging.
Working, no holiday here. Finding more and more black fly bites, damn those things are nasty.
I plan on making an awesome red curry stir fry thing tonight. Can't wait...
Sadly I think I should cut back on the delicious beer intake, if I actually want to lose some weight.

Blasphemer!Sadly I think I should cut back on the delicious beer intake, if I actually want to lose some weight.
What's the point of living if you don't enjoy life? Who cares what you look like? What really matters is your own happiness, not someone else's view of you!
(this is what I say to myself every time I reach for that second beer in the fridge)
Can't believe it's already black fly season for you guys, we don't get ours until July.Working, no holiday here. Finding more and more black fly bites, damn those things are nasty.
I'd like to be happier when I reach the top of hills on my bike.
Drink a beer on the ski lift then.I'd like to be happier when I reach the top of hills on my bike.
I know how to gain weight!
Plus there are arguably better trails around here than the lift serviced ones...
And we have to stand in these god awful buckets on the lift here...not very conducive to beer intake activities.
I have lost weight recently. Would I be excluded from the lifts? If me and your friend Jim Morrison became friends would our combined weight be enough to ride the lifts so I could access the trails? Perhaps there is a trail named the Lizard King named after your friend Jim?I know how to gain weight!

So people don't think I am crazy. Candamos hanging with the Lizard King after a ride somewhere in Canada.
That's mid ride
And about 15 minutes before we were covered head to toe in blackflies.
Wait a minute. Blackflies? You're going to have to sweeten the deal and bring Geddy Lee from Rush along for the ride.That's mid ride
After two trail bike days and a DH bike day, we hit the road. 58 miles, 6350ft vert.
Now eating everything.

had to put off riding. The new puppy is small enough to fit trough some small gaps at the back yard gates hinges so I had to head off to the lumber yard for some fence boards and deck screws so seal things off. its 100 outside so riding will be done much later in the afternoon if I go
Had a breakthrough riding day with kiddo and wifey. He never used to be able to tolerate walking up a hill he couldn't ride, but it just somehow clicked with him that the descent makes it worth it. Did a local 400 foot hill, he was game all of the way.
Good times!
Good times!
Not on Hudson Valley rocks...
Kill it, eat it
Sharp hooves vs. butcher knife. I'm giving it to hooves.
I didn't say hand to hand combat.
Go die under one of your hoarder piles.
Suburbs don't take kindly to use of firearms.
I know. PA is 100 yard rule. Air rifles and crossbows technically aren't firearms.
AWESOME day of downhilling at Thunder. Met and rode with @Woody and his wicked fast friends. Met @splat and his family.
It was still raining in the first two runs, trails were wicked wet and slippery and awesome. Did 12 runs / 20 miles ofvertical descent. Wrecked semi-hard twice when roots or slippery dirt took my front wheel away. I still have mud pretty much everywhere. 6/5, want to bang again soon.

house sat for a vet who lived in conifer....came home to her house....about 15 elk milling about in the driveway....not giving any fucks.
It's stuck under a deck?! wouldn't the adrenaline coursing through it's body make the meat taste shitty?
veterinarian, or veteran (military)? Caus' if the former, that might explain why the elks are
as in, lived in a tree? a tree house?
these are all very important questions. they must be answered carefully and precisely.
Selective enforcement?
against sketchy white trash....yes.
Was walking the dog last week and came up on a group of 5 cops on the sidewalk. They waved me over when they noticed me. One of them asked if they could pet my dog. I said yes but warned them of his "high energy". As the one cop pet the doggo, the other 4 surrounded me. Have to say I felt rather uncomfortable. They asked a few mundane questions and then quickly lost interest and I went on my merry way.
The whole situation was rather unnerving. Not sure if they were checking me out for some reason or were just trying to play it cool, there was a sketchy old lady on the other side of the street screaming nonsense.
