Had a pretty good day with the women-folk yesterday. Launch pad brewing would be pretty awesome if it wasn't in Aurora.
Now, MOAR airplanes.

'Morning. Rode 32 miles at Kingdom Trails yesterday. I'm feeling it this morning. My bike is having some issues. I think it's not used to being ridden.
Welp, looks like riding is off the agenda today 
Nice November weather here. Just kidding, it's been awful. Hopefully trails will get a little drier before I ride this afternoon.
@ 8000 feet in the Sierras on the Carson River. It's warm in the camper and 19* outside. I think I will sit here drinking coffee until it warms up a bit.

Super frickin windy last night. Had part of a tree in the front yard come down and land on neighbors 2 month old Chevy High Country pickup. Destroyed hood and a-piller. Front passenger quarter panel looks like a bear was marking his territory. So, Ride is off and cleaning up tree. FTS
Rooney->Box o' Rocks lap. Might have been a bit too soon after my bout with the cooties. Much lung-butter was hacked.
Went to visit the mother in law with the family and hooked up with the local mtb club and did a really fun gravel/mtb ride were ranging from road and gravel to overgrown roads that had not seen much use for years. The others were on mtb and I did it on the gravel bike. Super nice crowd and always a please to go ride with new people.
Went to the new Lego House which was fun. We could have spent a lot more time there and didn't even get to build much.
Volvo is the best car I have had ever. It more or less drove by itself all the way home. Especially close traffic its really brilliant and it did not feel like a 3 hour drive.

Nice hat, but that is not Boston.
Weather report today: 40s, windy as fuck, generally unpleasant - basically my life story. Did over 9.5 miles, had some good fun, bike rocks.

Went hiking. Too many other humans in the woods. Leaf lookers...
Wifey's birthday is tomorrow. Kiddo and I are baking her a cake... She is out with her girlfriends, hopefully she has just the right amount of cocktails...
Hiked 9 miles and climbed up over 1000 feet up from camp at 7000' in the Sierras with the wife and the dogs today
¿qué? - Can you explain further?
I survived my 8 y.o.'s birthday. Chocolate waffles in the morning. escape room with 9 of his buddies at lunch. a little quiet time building the lego sets he was given in the afternoon, and dinner at the indian restaurant (his choice). he and his brother are still not quite ready for fancy restaurants, but in his defense, he was tired and coming off a sugar and post-birthday rush. I still think it would have been better to do the aerial park at the local ski hill, but weather is hard to predict in these parts at this time of year...
I keeps the distance, it breaks, it steers and it even does this keeping an eye on traffic in front and behind the car so I just help it focus on what goes on around the car. It can even start again if there is a full stop. Just not having to speed up and break all the time in close traffic make a huge difference. This car just does much more relaxed than the previous 1st gen adaptive cruise I had on the previous car.
Interesting. I imagine it has to be automatic for all this to happen?
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing from an emissions perspective. Making it easier and less stressful for people to be in their cars seems like it would encourage people to be in their cars instead of on a bike/walking/on a bus... on the other hand, it could make traffic more fluid, and so less emitting?
Yes, with a manual it would not work.
Personally it help me drive the speed limit which help fuel economy and it helps driving less stop and go which should help too.
It does not help me drive less that is for sure.
