My trip to Sweden was really good. Almost 9 hours on the bike in scenic Sweden. Great company. 185km and ended up with 2900m of climbing and the legs felt good all way. Still sore legs.

Where we stated the had a breakfast together



Ferry to the main land



More off road than gravel at time (here its the only female rider of the day)

In hell. Welcome!
Traffic has been the lightest in 2019 so far today. I have no doubt it will be a different story for the next couple of months. Le tired, need vacation soon.

Same here. Google even told me that my commute should take roughly half of what it normally would. I assume this all reverses next week when school starts. :(


Back in the office. :(

A week off and per usual my desk is all jacked up from people covering me. But I guess on the plus side, this time they didn't screw around with my chair or leave coffee mugs sitting here.

Ate dinner last night. Not planning on eating until Saturday, lunch or dinner depending on my whim.

Haley's bike is largely built. I need to chase the threads on the bb still though before I can put on the cranks.

Went out for a date night with the wife on Saturday, so that was nice. Went to a nice steakhouse, walked around an outdoor mall for a bit and then went and hit some balls at the batting cages. Wife had fun and hit a bunch of softballs. I impressed myself connecting on the majority of balls in the 70mph cage. We ended up getting home around 9 and my mom magically already had the difficult child in bed, so that was the best part. Sunday I ran some parts on the cnc and went a bday party for a 1 year old. Normally I find an excuse, but this is for my best friend. There was a taco guy, so tacos were consumed and it made me partially forget the pain of a child's bday party.

Yes. Will be 6 days if I make it until Saturday dinner. Or maybe I’ll feel good and extend it even more, only drinking water while out to dinner Saturday. Or maybe I’ll crash and burn early.

Not my cat, and I try to just ignore him mostly. The other cat is great. I carry him around cradled belly-up like a cat-baby and he tolerates it and purrs away.

Show me a plausible biochemical mechanism for something and I’ll try it. This makes sense to me based off of what I know of metabolism, whereas calorie restriction in and of itself just leads to metabolic compensation within a few weeks or months.
