Whatdaya say there, chief!! I was at the pool for its 6:00 opening and did 2600 yards non-stop (52 minutes). Good swim. Just eights weeks ago I could barely make it 200 yards. It's come back to me pretty quickly after nearly a year of slacking and Covid shutdown.

Also, another day, another cat mess in the basement. Today the puke puddle was half on the mat my bike trainer is on and half on the floor. That liquid puke has a way of finding it's way under the mat, so that was a fun mess to clean.

This month's PB&J of the Month, which Wife bought me for my birthday back in July. The peanut butter is very runny even after a long stir, so I'll need to let it sit in the fridge and firm up for a couple of days before I eat more. The jelly is awesome and is from Texas, proving more than just two things come from there.

Few hours of work, “ride”, and then maybe sprinkler repair dude will fix a leaking valve.

Coffee-ing nao, considering hot lap on the bike before settling in to the working situation. Not a lot (or anything really) to complain about today.

Is there a thread for home loans and re-finances and shit like that there? I have questions. I've only ever bought one house, and am investigating doing my first refinance ever.

I just deleted 72 new users from the approval queue that the spam filter caught since last night. So, while you guys do see some spam popping up here and there, the filter catches a lot of stuff before it hits the forums.

Any way we could speed this along? Asking for a friend.

Theoretically I think so. Since the entropy of the universe must always increase, a localized massive decrease in entropy would make entropy increase faster everywhere else. So preventing matter from entering black holes will help. Making a white hole would really speed things along but you would run the risk of inverting the direction of time. Not so bad depending on how you feel about getting jammed buck up your mother's baby cannon.

Slept like a brick last night. pure exhaustion from drive the horse rig 2400 miles in 3 days. Damn glad I was smart enought to schedule myself as off from work today. Back at the grind tomorrow. Espresso then start in on cleaning the dead bugs off the camper. From the FB RV board everyone swears by rubbing the bug splats with a wet drier sheet first , let sit for a bit then the stuff hoses off. I will give it a try.

Ugh, I just hate it when a white hole prolapses the direction of time.

I enjoy my obese coworker. It's like having a zoo animal at work for entertainment. Right now he's skootching his wheeled chair over to the mini fridge. He has very detailed opinions about the fast food breakfasts available in our area. One of the high points of his year was when he figured out he could buy a sausage biscuit and get chicken on it for a dollar more. Kind of a chicken/sausage/biscuit Voltron that you can eat. Good shit, man.

That first sentence made me think you ate your coworker but seasoned first with some of Florida’s finest bath salt.

I had a morbidly obese diabetic coworker. I did not enjoy him. He wasn't a bad guy but I felt like I was watching someone slowly and purposefully kill themselves. On top of barely being able to move himself between his chair and mobility scooter he had his feet wrapped in bandages from chronic diabetic related infections. He was near having them amputated on several occasions. He had oozing open sores all over his arms and would occasionally pass out from blood pressure problems. He would line up 3 Chipotle burritos on his desk every morning and eat them between his normal cafeteria supplied breakfast and lunch. I refused to touch anything near his desk as I assumed he was just a breeding ground for antibiotic resistant MRSA.

He recently got laid off. I assume this will hasten his demise but I hope it causes him to snap out of his rut and take care of himself.

It's amazing to me how much it parallels severe drug addiction.

My department used to do a weekly lunch at the mexican place. We would all watch him conveyor belt chips into his face with a sort of rapt horror. One hand grabbing chips while the other hand stuffs them down the gullet. Nobody else ever ate the chips. We just watched. Luckily we were able to cancel this using the Rona as an excuse.

Rode for the first time since May, I think. Legs felt very strong but pedal endurance was of course lacking. Cardio wasn't bad either. Been a little concerned about not losing any more fitness acquired from thru hike training. Not sure if hiking with a full pack once a week has maintained fitness or just really slowed down atrophy. Hopefully I can manage one hike and one ride per week during le' pandemic.

A small storm blew though and I can see the horizon and blue sky for the first time in a couple of weeks! Temporary reprieve from the wild fire smoke.
