Last Nordic ski race of the year for my boy today. He's kinda bummed.he enjoyed his race season despite the lack of snow. Here's hoping for a better winter next year.

My elbow continues to heal well. I'm hopeful it won't impact my season too much.

Awake at 5 for no good reason, cause that's just how I roll.

Going to try and assemble a playset with my dad today. Yesterday's snow and ice isn't likely to help the cause.

Changed the spark plugs on the wife’s 2018 Outback yesterday. What a PITA that was. Took 3 hours. But I figured I saved myself several hundred bucks. Today it’s supposed to be 65 and beautiful. I shall do nothing. Maybe ride later. For now coffee and van trip planning for June. Not sure where we will go.

Hello friends!

Grocery shopping, maybe a bonfire. Who knows.

Shopping for a new fitness tracker. Biggest issue is sorting out what I actually want…

Coffee, breakfast, have the day to myself (mostly). Gonna work on getting the GG built up (including lacing a wheel), might take the road bike over to Valley Forge, then work on meal prep for the week.

7:40 am. On board our little A320, people filing in. Guy across from me orders up a screwdriver.

I order OJ.

Layla woke me up 3x last night asking to go out, but at no point went to the bathroom. Then 3x asked to remove the cone so she could get to water or food, and had neither. I'm fucking dying.

That reminds me. Saw 3 different dudes adding oil to their Outbacks yesterday before they left. I chuckled to myself a litttle.

directly above the center of the earth
it fucking poured last night, overwhelmed my rain gutters (which are clean). Hit the market at 6am to pick up a few items for dinner. Slow cooked beef short ribs in Bourbon and maple syrup with carrots, shallots, and beef broth are on the menu.

espresso, eats, then start cooking. Unfortunately I have to go to the office for an hour at 11 for vehicle inspections with a vendor.

My birthday yesterday was not the best as both me and oldest son were not feeling great. We did do a nice bike ride together around town. First time we have ridden together in years. Pretty much was on the couch the rest of the day.

Slept past 10am today but feeling much better and enjoyed the mild spring weather for some gardening. Felt nice to be able to work out there and only wear a sweater. Already have a couple of rhododendrons in bloom and of course tons of spring flowers.

Bicycled my bicycle all damn day and it was great :)

I want a Garmin version of my Charge 5. I don't need or want any "smart" functionality.

Btw the rod in the cartridge on my dropper bend I found you when I crashed. I have no idea how that could have happened. So bike not ready to ride yet but at least suspension is serviced.

Was $128.50 to upgrade our two seats for that first leg. And that got us free checked bags so it was effectively $48.50 for slightly more comfy seats and snacks/drinks. Coach never got service due to turbulence off and on the whole time.
