Rainy.
Riding a larger trail system in the north west of Denmark where I used to go to the beach as a kid. It was super windy but despite the cold Danish "summer" trails were in great shape. Rode with the local trails builders so it was the royal tour
Hellacious week trying to get things wrapped up before going away at the end of the week.
Good thing the weather isnt cooperating so shit will likely go sideways fast.
We have a 13yo japanese exchange student staying with us for the week as well, just to keep things extra interesting.
The kid is awesome and we're communicating well through an elaborate version of charades.
He's running around like Wang in Caddyshack taking pictures of everything and upon seeing my truck when we first picked him up declared 'America!' before insisting on many photos in front of it.
I fully expect a GTA5 derived international incident at some point as my boys and he are like brothers from another mother.
In other news, 18yr anniversary yesterday. Fuck I'm getting old.

i second this. depending on your time zone, you might make first call
You know your on vacation when you wake up to a barfing, feverish, teething baby.
Ow....my liver.
Taking the FIL up to Golden for the Coors tour, so in addition to abusing my liver, I will now abuse my taste buds and sense of decency.
well the good news is there's no chance you'll wind up too drunk to drive hom

Unless you remember that there are three other micro breweries withing walking distance of there (well, the far one is a mile or so) which will be open and serving "beer" flavored beer!
Drinking beer at the oyster bar. Rum in the paper bag. Rum punches will soon be made. Beach...then drinkorama.
Or GCB or Mt Toad.
'Morning. Training officially begins today for marathon #7. I came so close to qualifying for the Boston Marathon last time...so close I can taste it. I just need to improve by a couple of minutes. I need a 3:15. I'm thinking 3:10.
hey noob...it's nice you're figuring shit out.
Well it's a fucking Monday. ..
This is hilarious.
After work today I'm taking my mangled tire (no chance of salvage, IMO) and mildly mangled rim (maybe?) into Discount Tire for them to have a look-see.
why not go to a left coast beach.....hell of a lot closer?
Those beaches are fucking cold.
just buy depends for the drive home...no sense pulling over every 10 miles for the beer shits.
being a east cost resident for half my life....i find that hard to believe.
It's true. We have tried Santa Cruz twice and oregon. Fucking cold.
Of course, we did Texas and FL gulf beaches and they w we really cold too. We suck at beach vacations
I can escape on my bicycle when they take a nap.
For certain values of "escape"...
Anywhere above VA = cold on the East Coast. NC and down you're good. Thanks O'GulfStream.
I don't know how i grew up swimming in the ocean in Maine. I stick a foot in there now and it instantly turns red.

sissy. i still swim in the ocean in Maine
You just need more antifreeze in your system as you age. After a few dark and stormys I'll stay in for hours.
My youngest will swim in Casco as early as May. Little fucker is part harbor seal.
Fwiw, this beach is cold too. But I am in bfe Idaho.
My escape by bicycle will be so on several levels.

We used to go wakeboarding in the ocean all summer - lobster boat wake was excellent to launch off of.
Now, I am indeed a sissy and have no problem staying shorebound and drinking beers while my kids swim. In fact, that's what I plan on doing most of next week.

Another cold rainy day in Denmark. Took my sister in law out mountain biking teaching her basic skills and getting her bike setup correctly. Mountain biking has gotta a huge new following in Denmark that last 5 years.
Bought local stouts and drinking them now.

ahhh off work and home before noon. this is good
One tasty fellow who should have lived much longer.
Afternoon. Took the girls to the local county fair on Saturday and they had a blast. Ripped up landscaping and worked outside yesterday with a few cocktails and floating around in the pool. Got up to go blueberry picking this AM, kids in car driving along, pull into the blueberry path and youngest vomits. Clean her up and the car, she cries because she wants to pick blueberries...swears she's all better so we start pickinng and she vomits again, a lot, looks at me as says "sorry...I am not ok, let's go home". Good times.
The upside is that my car is now very clean.
