Dinner last night with the old neighbors. Lots of good food, some wine, and a fabulous tiramisu. Makes for a pretty rough morning though.
Rolled the shit out of my right ankle yesterday. It’s huge and bruised today. That’s super cool.
It rained last night. Thankfully we only had 12.6” in April, so it was getting dry. I might have whiskey in my coffee. Or maybe just whiskey

I've only ever sprained an ankle once and it never came back to 100%, took nearly a year to get back to its regular size.Rolled the shit out of my right ankle yesterday. It’s huge and bruised today. That’s super cool.

I am a firm believer in RICE and braces these days, old age sucks.
Up @ 0620 to let the DSO out for a pee. Went back to bed until 0800. Caffeinating with NPR burbling away in the background. Supposed to be rainy all day. Laundry day and probably sit around with coffee and books until time to make dinner.
Made TV breakfast; French toast, bacon, eggs, strawberries, apples, blackberries, tangerines.
Kid ate one piece of toast and was done before I sat down.
Anyways, old people.

Race day and it's Miami, so not at 0 dark 30. Wife decided she was too busy to get nekkid, so I started playing video games. 15 minutes later she comes in nekkid, game over.
She said she was glad I stopped playing, I told her I'd be back at it in 10 minutes, so it's no big deal.

busy day yesterday. brushed the pool plaster. finally had space in the garage to break down the pallet of boxes that contains the pavilion and moved them in. had a dive equipment course yesterday. wasn't bad, didn't the full 4 hours. then a star wars / k derby / cindo de drinko themed neighborhood happy hour. twas a good time. more rain today, have to brush the pool anyways. might work on the GG, might start some of the pavillion pre-assembly. probably hit the climbing gym with the kids. but first, coffee.
Drove the van down to Denver on Friday for a friend’s 40th birthday party. What a rager, holy cow. A mutual friend’s band played, tons of people we haven’t seen for a while, pizza’s constantly coming out of the oven, and strong margaritas. Rode an old favorite ride Saturday morning, then relaxed in the sunshine before coming back home to drizzle and gray skies. Bedtime was early last night, slept like the dead. Riding today, not sure what yet but definitely riding. A then gonna try to fix the sprinkler system. Woo!
63 minutes of snuggle time with my sweet middle child this morning. Was even joined by my wiggly littlest one for about 20 minutes, too.
I hope they stay sweet and snuggly forever, even through teenage years and beyond—I can hope, right?

Whirlwind weekend of travels to procure the cargo trailer, decided to grab a load from storage while over the hill, will unload today.
I think the color happens to match well, tows well
7.5 wide, 16' + 2' V nose with tramp door and man door and mag tandems. Just so happens it will fit a CanAm maverick R

$2000 battery powered weed whacker is badass!! Why didnt it come with a charger? Why didnt it come with a string head? The 3 blade metal blade is scary a little.
slept in, skies are clear, I think I'm going to ride some damp dirt for the first time in months.
It's been a productive day already. I did two hours on the KICKR, then made waffles, then did the grocery shopping, then took the dogs for a two mile walk. Next up: Laundry.
The foster pup had interest yesterday but no takers, so we've got him for another week.

my 9 year old is still 80% little girl 20% tiny young woman so sweet for sure
Dragging a wee bit this morning. Small child cried out for me in the night at 2 am. 10 minutes of snuggles later and she was okay.
Dropped the bow off at the shop for it's annual tune, a peep sight swap, and some arrows to be refletched.
pulled out my Mt Bike, I haven't ridden it in a while. Lubed the chain, checked tire pressure, got the dropper working nicely, front shock was good. compressed the rear shock and it felt like crap. put the pump on it 120 psi ... hmm. Blead it to zero, brought it to 100 removed the pump and cycled it to balance the neg/pos chambers then pumped it up to 240 to match me with gear. feels great now. I guess I must go test it in the dirt. see ya in a few hours 
nice workout, I forgot how sticky clay based soils are when wet. The single track was unrideable so everyone was doing fire road loops. I got in 10 miles
rainy morning. took 14yo to his last rugby game of the season in greensboro. he had a great game, with a bunch of tackles and his first 2 scores of the season. got the game ball. wish he'd play that hard all the time.
sunny now. back at home. gotta make a grocery run and then hopefully a chill evening and early bedtime.

Hello there children. Attempted to do a mountain bike ride with woody and some rando, but he broke his frame a the top of the climb and that was that. We had margaritas instead. It was OK.
Now we’re chilling, rainy day and low motivation for all.

Trailer unloaded, tote racks filled, and had room to stash the trailer in storage till all the parts arrive to get it decked out.

Forgot to hit “post reply” on my morning update.
So I found a new chocolate and pastry shop. And I went on a hike.

Mulholland just south of Kanan Dume?
No, but I often go out that way. This was near Mt. Wilson.
hey if you go up 2 to near mt San Antonio if I remember correctly there is a gate for when they close the road. downhill from that is an old abandoned mine that we spent hours hiking though the old shafts. bring string and chalk so you can find your way out
