Airplanes. Ugh......
Hella rain. Powers out.
Rain so I cancelled the DH plan. Maybe tomorrow.
The Solo movie was good! Pro tip: You'll enjoy outer space shoot 'em up movies a lot more if you go into them not expecting to unlock some deeper meaning of life. Loved the character cameo near the end too.
I just got back from running six miles at the track.

Most of the major assembly on the swing set/playhouse is done. Some stuff to be moved from the garage, but that will wait because of the rain. Put a tarp over the big portion that's already outside because there's no sealant on it yet.
a silent movie in space would be fun!
We really like this one: https://www.costco.com/Novaform-14"-Serafina-Pearl-Gel-King-Memory-Foam-Mattress.product.100153895.html . Probably will make you sign in then click on the link again. In 2015 we paid $800 for the King, so it does go on sale periodically (or inflation is a bitch).
Soon I will have to haul myself into a pool for the neighbor kid's birthday party. My gut will be modestly hidden behind a rash guard.
Then sashimi tonight sans kids.I actually looked at that one when I was there a few days ago.
Jessica concurs with me. "Yeah, I like them a lot", she says. I flip often during the night and with memory foam it doesn't disrupt her, plus with the gel it doesn't sleep overly hot. We got another one for the guest room, even (thus "them"), both because we have sympathy for guests and because I end up sleeping up there often when it's hot or when I snore.
Attending a celebration of life get together with immediate family today for my grandma. Pretty low key, which is cool. My dad has explained that she didn't want a funeral or anything, which isn't shocking.
After this, maybe perhaps a ride. All I know is that it's balls hot out. Yesterday's ride felt like we were in a damn jungle with humidity.

Look at the I comforts...... Not the cheapest, not the most expensive...... Amazing to sleep on
We made witches bleed last night.
I wrote and performed the music for this one. I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Ate breakfast. Rode for hours in the rain. Got lost. Found our way back. Ate, talked, drank beer.
Uber slow day here. Cats made me sleep through most of it. 5/5, I would bang again.

He is a fucking perfectionist.

oh neat, shaker boxes
spent most of the day cleaning up my truck, camper, and Kayaking gear. 9 days on the road and everything was absolutely filthed. They have vessel inspections here so my boats needs to be spotlessly clean if i want to be able to launch. I had to wipe don the inside and outside of the hull, clean the mirage drive, wipe out the inside of the paddle shafts and dry my PFD. It took hours to get all the bug splats off the front of the truck and the camper. Haven't even really started to wipe all the dust off the inside camper surface or the truck cab for that matter...oy

was not expecting to ride this weekend since I was solo parenting, and it was supposed to thunder-shower all weekend.
But it didn't rain today, and my wife got back at 5. I had already prepped dinner, and she asked if I wanted to go biking... twist my rubber arm!
It was awesome out. despite pouring rain yesterday, there was no mud today.
I'll take it! it was cool enough that the bugs weren't too bad, and given that it was Sunday evening, the trails were mostly empty. And I'm not sure if one workout (on Friday) made the difference, but hotdam was I feeling strong and confident. I need to work out moar if that's the case...
Had the remaining tacos I'd prepped for dinner, and two beers.
I'd say this was a solid end to what I was expecting to be a pretty meh weekend.

Stopped by the Bongshed today, First time in a while. Did not partake. Contact buzz was had. You folks are all goofy when you're all stoned and shit.
or could it be... eBike?! That's a whole hell of a lot of vert in 3 hours. sounds... painful.
congrats (I guess?)!
Day 4 of our 5-day SW Colorado camper trip. Didn’t ride today, truck is having issues with the ignition lock cylinder and there were lots of neat things happening in town so we spent a day chilling out. Managed to remove the lock cylinder, so the ignition key is now a pair of pliers. Gonna ride in Ridgeway and Cerro Summit on the way home tomorrow. Camped up on a dirt FS road off Hwy 550 about 40 minutes north of Durango for the night, girlfriend is making fish tacos, and I’m drinking a Marble IPA and watching the moon rise. We’re at high enough elevation I need a puffy and a beanie. Good times.
I have back problems and need some serious support. Got a Saatva and sleep great.
Had a bumble bee fly into my car and down my shirt on the way to Thuper Awethum. I swerved while swatting, it stung me. I pulled over and yanked my shirt off. Little fucker fell out on the ground.
There has been torrential rain recently resulting in a lot of debris from water run-off, blocking several sections of trail on that slope. Took the Rogue Hoe up there and cleared it all. Even re-arranged some rocks for better bumps. Also cut some branches and dug a drain. Did about 4 hours of trail work total. There were no other people on that section, perfect gnome session.

3 hours of moving time... there were some breaks in there. Probably an hours worth.
Still pretty pooped.
Angry Midget is a bloody great trail.
Lippman Park in Wawarsing, NY - nice stuff.
Windy and rooty iirc. Some fun little sections up with great views through Minnewaska to.
That's gold. It's the first coil bed that's not super expensive that we've come across. Thanks.
