DH with a buddy today. Cooler is stocked with beer, water, candy and one root beer. Skies are blue as blue can be. Should be a great day.
Also sliced the tip of my index finger open on my bike pump last night. I'm such a wimp when it comes to slices, it looked like a mouth and now I'm refusing to look at it.

Slept 9.5 hours last night. I needed that. I would have kept sleeping but the cat had decided it was time for me to get up. Kind of hard to sleep with a cat clawing your face.
Got a big family picnic to attend today. It'll be nice to see all the aunts and uncles again.

Took the family to The Wild Center in Tupper Lake yesterday. It was fun...hiking, seeing live river otters, cool history museum with fossils, bones, games, painting, etc. kids loved the giant tree walk (spider web up in the air and birds nest). Firewood today.
House type work then trails by 2, had a great ride yesterday and my legs still feel fine. 
Durango trip was rained out, much to the surprise and chagrin of @Nick and @SkaredShtles I'm sure. Technically, those fools in DGO are still riding, but 70% chance of rain, with possible lightning while we're above 12k all damn day did not sound appealing. So I opted to fix my patio fence, then maybe go for a local ride later this afternoon. Dad is helping.
got home late last night. unpacking, laundry, grocery and beer getting, etc. ride? watching WC at some point.
I just wanted you to know the weather was moving your way.
better safe than soaked.
How do they fix those dents anyway? Big vacuum suction device that will take the chrome off of a bumper?
We are completely covered by darkish clouds but it doesn't smell like rain and its only 82 so... sammich then ride.
My new handheld GPS showed up last night. Ton of features and so far all I have figured out is how get back to a starting point. That works for me
I have not ridden since Sunday, Sunday !
Crankiness is reaching a dangerous level. Must ride after work today.

Well it did not rain and I got a nice 90 minute trail ride in, while out I ran into the usual hacks and some guys from Texas who thought our little system was pretty bad ass. Having spent most of my riderhood in the PNW I know our trails are not bad ass but they are close to town and interconnected enough to ride a different combo everyday of the week. I made it 6 out of 7 days this week with 5 rides so far in the month of August.
Winning is more ride time than drive time.

Oppressive humidity here on the Cape. Morning ride was good. Beers are good. Steaks are on the grill.
Btw. big shout out to Town fair tire. They fixed my tire today (two nails) for whopping $4 - the cost of balancing the wheel.

Finally got a trail ride in. Sauna like humidity and hot, but I'll take it. Nao Tacos Mexicanos.
All's right with the world.

This morning, at camp, Hilarie opened with asking what I wanted to do today. Proposed driving around playing turista, she said good, meet you at home in a short time. I did some errands, went home, watered plants, mowed some lawn, no H, so I started fiddling with the camper, finding all the hidden access covers for maintenance. I eventually emerged to find H in the house, grumpy, no, I don 't want to play turista.
I said fuck it and headed out for what turned out to be a four hour ride, Got rained on a little, which was refreshing, went back to camp, we went out to supper. Turned into a good day somehow...

Another 70km day of DH is in the books. My hands are cooked.
Not sure what the hell happened, but midway through a trail I lost THREE chain ring bolts at the same freaking time. Ring was just hanging there by a thread and wedged itself into my chain guide, which also got pushed out of alignment. What the heck man.
Otherwise what an awesome day. My new tires need to get here right meow. Skating around on marbly and dusty as hell trails with missing knobs on the back tire is fun, but sketchy as heck.

Grilled salmon is le tasty. 6 minutes skin side down over medium heat then 2-3 minutes on each side with the searing burner on worked great for my wife's preferences. Perhaps I'll shave a minute or two off for me, as I like things closer to sashimi.
Doing the EMT Standby gig, small show not much happening. I did manage to get in over 7 miles of walking for exercise. Steak and a salad for dinner.
chill time

It sure makes it easier to cook with the skin on...Skin Side? learn to properly filet and remove that stuff

Been Fileting and cooking fish since the early 70s. I prefer to season both sides. Cooking fish is easy with the right pans or racks, Whether its BBQ grilling, pan frying or broiling, So when was the last time you had fish with the skin on in a nice restaurant?
Hell, no.
Skin comes off after cooking it that side down.
Eat the whole goddamn thing you heathens. The skin is the best part.
