we have it on the menu for next week. takeout wings around here are non-existant....have to drive 40 minutes for passable ones. Will cook our own alongside some pizza with the kids
hope to take the TT bike out for a drag today...that's about it!
yesterday i drove to Pittsburgh for the weekend with the kids to swim at my parents. theres a place near here that has good wood smoked wings.
farmers market for corn, then an mtb ride, then swim the rest of the day.
Coffee, yardwork, weightlifting, and hopefully a ride with the kids.
That was us last night. I ate too many wings while waiting for the pizza to cook, so now I have an abundance of leftover pizza.
Took the dogs for a morning walk in the meadow and I am now enjoying a mug of really strong espresso in the camper.
Plan for the day: eat, fly fish, walk dogs, drink beer. Multiple times.

Car is at garage getting front ball joint replaced. Again. Second time in about a year. Mechanic tells me the Mazda CX5 are known for this.
I had wings late night. They were good. Fingers crossed southwest manages to get my bike to CO in the same amount of pieces that it started in.
Morning. coffee on the deck followed by splitting some wood and stacking it. Goal is to finish the woodshed before we head to the beach on the 11th so I've gotta get crackin' Opening night was pretty good. The audience was great and the kids had a good energy (nerves mostly) going. They did managed to skip some parts of a couple of songs, but that's what makes playing in the pit such an adventure! Night 2 tonight...
Had two glasses of wine with Wifey last night. First in months. Really good bottle too. No head ache/hangover, but didn't help my sleep. Started ripping out bushes already and I'm worn out from the get go. Karting for a while now.
had an absolutely fantastic ride. temps were cool, sun was shining, dirt was tacky, legs felt awesome. i guess all the road miles ive been putting down have helped more than i thought. ride that usually takes me a little over 2hrs i blasted through in an hour 45. got my wood smoked wings, gonna eat by the pool, have a beer, them swim the day away.

I actually set the alarm for 5:00 this morning and was rolling on the tri bike at 6:15. Rode 107 miles at 18.0 mph at a fairly easy effort. Nice day for it besides the wind whipping in every direction. It got hot too. I bought three bottles of water a Red Bull along the way, to go along with the four bottles I was carrying.
Neighbor across the street is having about 400sqft of his yard xeriscaped. Guy that he hired to do it, it doing it solo, and it's been beating him up. He took off his tailgate for part of the mulch unloading and while he was putting it back on, it fell open onto his hand. Dude's lucky I was out here, because there is nobody else around and he was stuck, with it crushing his knuckles. It looked bad though. I think he might have broken his hand.
Nice little heat wave this weekend. Went for an early ride to try and beat the heat. It was 72 with 100% hummidity and felt like 95. Should have slept in and just rode when it was 95 and dry.
On weather delay for lap two, might be a permanent cancel. Ask me in two beers.
I had coffee, and did some yard work. 2 out of 4 ain’t bad…
Lower back is proper fucked. Major nerve pain. Hopefully tomorrow’s ride will improve the situation.

Made to the land or Subarus, 4Runners, fuck loads of traffic. . . And I guess mountains too. Really have no idea how you front range monkeys keep your sanity.
Traffic doesn't look overly bad today... Where ya headed to? (And if you're looking for Thai food: Thai Pot Cafe on south Colorado Blvd, Drunken Noodles or any of the curries Thai Hot is the ticket.)
In Frasier at the moment. Might just get pizza in WP tonight. An on fire Jeep was our traffic issue.
Unless you're hankering for pizza, I'd suggest hitting up the Smokehouse BBQ. North side of 40 in town in WP.
Wife's out of town. My buddy just hit me up because his old lady is out of town, so he's watching the fights tonight. He also has a pool because this is stupid hot.
Did it have angry lights and translucent CO/USA flag rear windows? Because those are the best kind to be on fire.
Section 1 of garden demo done. Only a couple bushes out but ~30 cubic ft of
1.5" granite. No easy way to move it other than by hand, so bucket > wheelbarrow> relocation. Still needs tilling to break up the clay, so that I can get the landscape cloth out. Then a second round with soil, but that's closed to planting. Get to do section 2 tomorrow. This is much smaller, but has a lot more organic material mixed in which will suck.

You should visit Boston.
No idea what "time" is anymore but got up pep talked and went out for a great climby ride on the gravel bike. 38 miles. Got home Strava says 1490 miles in July. Slick little lunch and headed out on the MTB and it's gnarly hot. This morning was ultra smooth cool and cloudy. So cranked up 11 miles not bs miles, good mtb earnin miles. Total for July 1501 miles. Gonna spin out tomorrow and rake in 50 more. First goal was the 1500 now I want 50 miles average per day this month. Send it!
Surprise oysters courtesy of our "fish-share". Fingers crossed they are OK after sitting in the cooler a bit.
Call me crazy but I really am not a huge fan of that place. It’s ok, not my favorite though. Were feeding 4 kiddos and Papa Murphy pizza it was. Not good but the kids ate it. This on the other hand, dank af.Pepe Osaka's. Unless you don't like fish tacos.
Get one of their mezcal coins.
