Cheers. Rain last night was nice. Dogs are walked, kettlebells were exercised, now to make some progress on the Green Egg rolling cart.
Wrapping a present for a kids birthday party with the help of big kiddo. We are listening to Slayer.
Life is good.
I think I need to poop.
I knew I was going to sleep well after yesterday’s soak and cocktails but dayum. Pretty sure I just slept for 12 hours
Thought about taking my bike to work but had to do some emergency plumbing instead of getting my gear ready. Thanks Obama !
I should ride a bike.
one last event for work this afternoon. then to a family friend's tonight to celebrate their daughter's bday with our older son. hope to ride tomorrow if the rain holds off, 'cause the temps are primo right now.
Clipped a tree with the handlebar for an old school scraped up knee. Had enough time to navigate the fall to roll effectively but not to save the knee from the dry hard ground. Not worse than I had a good ride still.

Hey bruhvs. I "ran" a half marathon this morning in 1:36:40 on my bum foot. Goddamn thing hurt every step of the way, but I kept the effort in check and I think I managed to get through the race without making things worse. We'll see tomorrow when I wake up! I managed to finish 27th out of 600 or so overall, and was 2nd in my age group which won me another pint glass to pile onto the heap. Waiting now for Wife to get home from a dog adoption event with our new foster pup.
Afternoon. Getting back into the swing with school and coaching and mentoring and trying to keep everything straight is exhausting. Sqearl's uncle passed so he went to the services and I have been "single parenting" for a couple of days. Youngest had a sleepover last night and Syd & I chilled with some wings before she went to a friends bonfire so I had the house all to myself and it was glorious until damn cat brought n another live rodent. I heard him bright and early this morning. Not sure if it's a big chipmunk or a squirrel but it's in the house and both the cat & dog are hunting it.
Here we go.
That is the coolest and also dorkiest thing I have seen on RM. Well done!
I am resting after loading yesterday’s 6 tons of grapes into the press. Luckily we had some friends and fam stop by to help. We paid them in booze.
busy day. picked up the lawn and mowed some overdue grass. fixed the weed Wacker and did some trimming. rent a stump grinder from HD, got the big one and did 15 stumps in 3 hours. last major project for pool prep. now, time for beer o'clock. hot tub later.
New friends who I have rode with twice invited me over for dinner after the ride. Nice couple. It was cool. Nice folks. He has an incredible shop in his garage.
Those are fun machines to run! It's always amazing to me how much wood chips come out of stumps.
it was nowhere near as difficult to operate as I was expecting. plus a number of the stumps were small and had been sitting for a few years, it chewed right through those. it's been very dry here so the dirt was basically moon dust.
