Two airplane calls before I even got to my breakfast this morning. That how it's going to be today?
I think it's a little past due to haul the lawnmower over to camp and address such lawn as there is...
A rather odd remembrance ceremony last night for a neighbor who died recently; did not participate in singing a hymn or the Star Spangled Banner... did meet another local mountain biker I did not know about.

After sleeping it off, looks like my left hand has a deeply bruised palm, right in the meaty area below the thumb. Pinky is also bruised. Right hand has a semi-swollen and very tender area, right where I broke it a bunch of years ago. Left knee also took a good hit, of course right below where my kneepad ends. All in, not too bad for barely being able to grip a beer last night and for going mach chicken right off that bridge into the bush, I'm glad there wasnt a hooooge rock pile hidden there.
Needless to say, not riding Bromont today. I think I'll just dick around camp, sleep in my lawn chair and drink beer while my buddy cfushes laps. Maybe go for the a spin on the donkey gravel bike...
But first, coffee.

'Morning. I slept 20 hours the past two days including naps. I needed that. I just got back from a brisk 10.5 mile run. I ran 'em fast....figured my legs would have been more tired than then were, or maybe they just liked the beautiful weather (65 with a 60 dew point).
4th day in a row of unhealthy air quality due to forest fires, the air feels dense and low - visibility in town is about six blocks. Have not been on the bike since Thursday, the smokey air, lack and lack of wind irritated my eyes. Breathing was fine since I kept an easy pace. Do not like but will try again today with a wet cloth in my pack.
I went to the mall. There was people there. I got scared and had to leave. It was awful. The stores all had things that I can't imagine anyone ever needing. It made me cry.
The blue lagoon is an obvious must. Read the beer cans, you got to drink a lot of 2.5-3%ers. I just drove around for 28 hours, slept like 4 in the rental car. Drove on a dirt roads for like 8 hours and saw one house. The big water fall is rad. I hope you do more and have less rain.
If you simply continue to mow, other grasses will dominate over time.
Sweeeet. Went and rode the bike for a bit. Hands are bruised everywhere BUT where the bars make contact. I suspect my right thumb got fuxored by the paddle on the shifter.
Found some neat trails beside the campsite.
Derp derp derp @Dirtrider here's your cheesy action shot.

Smokey as I have seen it. No bueno. Crutching around the grocery store is sketchy since the floors have been polished recently.

I gotta order firewood.
You should aim to get the originals... Or at least watch the original series. It's much better.

Any recommended beers stops, that are accessible via bike and not road?
There's actually quite a few. This a daytime thing, or an evening thing? Beyond the Pale brewery is downtown, right on the bike path at City Centre avenue. They close at 9 and no food though. Tooth and Nail is just over the bridge and is pretty decent too. And they have food. The Third is a small local bar that serves my favourite Ottawa beer: Three Flags by Dominion City Brewery.
You riding here? I'd love to show you around, but between my infection, jetlag, and going back to work, it's going to be tough...
Sweet, thanks! We'll be parking along the river somewhere and riding. So most likely during the afternoon. Not really sure on timing, we're a case of beer deep and just started the Canadian Open DH replay......so...haha.
Don't worry about coming out. Get some rest. We'll be back to your land of awesome.
Busy getting in fights with an Arduino Mega 2600 and an SD card module.
What are you building, more shimz?
It is pretty bad here, I can only imagine what it is like when you have smoke coming from the west too.
A most excellent morning on the West Fork of the Carson River. I fished for 4 hours caught 4 trout, saw two Osprey and a Red Tail . It was just what the Doctor (me) ordered
^ holy fuck, that's beautiful landscapes
Eastern Side of the Sierras at around 7500' about 50 miles SW of Lake Tahoe
I drove from Mono Lake to Lake Tahoe once, the vistas were amazing. That's the part of California I could deal with.
Visibilty is at 1/4 mile. Everything smells like campfire. Sucks!
