My kids brought home a baby turkey for some reason. Now they are telling me it needs another turkey friend. How did I go from zero turkeys to two turkeys today??

Just got back from first ride for fucking weeks. Was great, not too out of physical shape thank fuck, but I was pretty slow on my favourite DH sections. It was pretty muddy, acceptable though, and despite the car park being quite empty, I ran into a lot of people on the trails, including a guy who lost his phone and a lady who had a moderate off onto rocks, so I didn’t really get a clear run at anything. Still had a great time, feel great. A couple of sketchy moments to keep me on my toes. Beer o’clock! Plus it’s an extra long weekend this weekend, four days and my wife is out of town. Party on Wayne!

I left my frisbee behind for a Green and Orange Popsicle. No coffee ice cream was to be had. Solid berry gelato either. I suspect they were holding out.
I used to play Ultimate frisbee in a lunchtime pickup game when I lived in Shallow Alto. There was this dude who was so uptight about his frisbees. ‘DON’T BEND IT!’. Lols. We used to get Jamba juice afterwards, but a berry gelato would’ve been better.

The green part was melon. Just nasty. Hippy popsicles. That whole beggars' choosers thing plays out here. I better get my frisbee back. Unbent also.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
What, no new karting stories?!

is this about pulling/not pulling a Toobin?

/me sent elder kids off to walk to their bus stop this morning, drove kid 3 to preschool, and washed the Land Cruiser this morning. Add a bit of borrowed flugelhorn practice in there and I feel like my day’s already been productive enough.

oh, I guess I have to work from 4-10 pm today. Meh. I suppose I have to work sometime.

Whatcha playing on the flugelhorn (I love the sound and often look for things to use it for)
