Smokey outside can barely see the mountains, then t-storms due by lunchtime. Given I'm still not supposed to be riding properly not sure what today will bring.

Can't do painting, so might have to be garden work....yay

Buy a house they said.

HEY rofl. I woke up as ass o'clock to get my ride done. 65 miles on the TT bike with some effort, averaged 19.5 mph. Not bad. Followed it with a 3 mile brick run. Stay crazy, monkeys.

Raining now, but clearing. Hope to sneak a ride in between storms. Got some chorin’ to do as well. Paint store, lumberyard, random projects. Boring.

When I read your posts I feel like the laziest, unhealthiest guy on earth. The leftover pizza I had for breakfast probably didn’t help that.

If it helps, I am feeling the same way.

Rode with three colleagues the trails close to my place. Took the bike to get there, which added 10+k to the ride. @AngryMetalsmith : no car was involved although an enduro bike was ridden. It is not a myth!!!! ;) :D

Drivers around here would most certainly change your mind. And I would have to ride at least 10 miles on a two lane road that has semi trucks ripping down it 24/7 just to get to the trail where cars get broken into, people shot, bodies found, etc. The other two trails are even further. So please continue to enlighten me.

Hot as F here in the sun. Should have just taken beer to the lake.

Oh well, it'll be a ride and then the lake. :)

Sausage, eggs, espresso in the camper. It's 37°F out so I think I will wear my down jacket while taking the dogs for a walk. Fly fishing shortly thereafter.
You are getting swings from near freezing to 100+? That's not fun.

Wife's out of town and it's Portland Burger Week so I think tonight's dinner will be the Big Nick from Nick's Coney Island.


Cake was superb last night. The tree giveaway has become epic. It was a ponderosa pine last night. They promoted it's fire resistant properties being advantageous in the coming heat apocalypse.
Burger week would be awesome!
I like this one, there is a layer of bacon fat over the lens acting like a silk filter-
