I had a great weekend, have no idea why but the sleep Gods were good to me, rode about 60km over the weekend.
Today I went for a walk with the camera, then did a couple of hours of Lantana removal, after that I went for a ~2hr ride then made lasagne, ended up making a couple and had enough left over to make a little one for the neighbors.

EDIT- A back tooth fell apart on Friday which will no doubt cost a fortune to fix so I'll just go hillbilly and get it yanked, bike parts are more important than good teeth.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
We survived the party! Didn't sleep well...too many teenagers in the house, but they are a good group of kids and it was so nice to see them hanging out together and not getting into trouble. Off to make them waffles...

came back from dinner to a hord of ants invading the camper. all over the bathroom and kitchen area and in the truck cab had to run to the store and get some ant killer spray and bait packs. They seem to be all dead now. still wiping up little dead carcasses

Espresso, eggs, and bacon, then do the 50 foot walk to the ems station for the day

Did a quick local 10-miler. Fuckin' hot (79F) and oppressive humidity (45%). Probably start day-drinking while I'm doing touch-up of drywall and paint around the house.

And probably more sweating...
that's some weaksauce weather complaints but sure, have a beer or 4. painting and beer go hand in hand.

I interrupt this poo flinging to introduce two new vocabulary words to this debate:

empathy
the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

hostility
feelings of opposition, unkindness, or unfriendliness toward something or someone.

We call that Fall, when it’s time to throw a sweater in the car just in case. Lol, “Fuckin' hot (79F)”. Oppressive humidity is double that number. It’s when you need both hands to pull one ball off your thigh at a time.

Well... About to do the best man speech. Here we go. Hopefully I don't fuck it up too badly.

Attempted Green Mountain with middle child. She decided she does not like to climb and does not like to be towed. So that didn’t work well :D

So, do any of you who ride road bikes know if anyone is buying 10 speed stuff ? I have three NIB Campy cassettes to get rid of.
I read this as "I want to make a difficult sale - 10sp road equipment. And just to make it even harder, Campy. Anybody know an elitist roadie ass who doesn't go dentist and buy bikes regularly?"
