HAHA. My ass is kicked today after yesterdays performance. I will still exercise to appease our Dear Leader @Square Wheels Is this Day 12? Today will mostly be playing around the house. Bread making. House cleaning. Food prep. Some planting. There will also be yoga, and taking Eleanor for a bike ride. There is a kids ride that I did last night. I would love for Eleanor to get strong enough to go with them. Then she will really advance being around the other kids.

I've got you penciled in for 680 miles in that window.

Will go down something like this. Layoff week of July 6 I guessed this was coming. My last time getting a week lay off was July of 2009. I hope the china virus bonus is still a thing...I hear end of July. I had that week as a vacation, so I shifted it to the next week. I'll be off from July 3 - 20

I flirted with the nurse through her mask.

The best way to keep strawberries fresh is to eat them all the first day and buy more tomorrow.

I did my first DC to Pittsburgh ride during a one week unscheduled shutdown. I was on vacation the week they dedicated the connected trail. I saw the dedication on tv, it was the first I heard about that trail. I said I need to do that ride. My wife just rolled her eyes. She knew I didn’t have any vacation left. I came home from vacation and went back to work. Over the time clock was a notice that they were shutting down the plant next week for maintenance. I told my wife I was going, she had a fit and proceeded to tell me why I couldn’t go. 1. I didn’t have anyone to do it with. 2. I needed to plan something like that months ahead of time. 3. I didn’t have the right kind of bike for that unpaved trail. 4. I didn’t have panniers. I called around and found a shop in Boardman, Ohio that had one set of panniers. I drove over there and bought them and went on the trip, it was awesome.

We made some pretty good ones for dinner. Not the very best but damn good. Grilled dogs. Brioche rolls. Chili (no beans). grilled onions, peppers, jalapenos, chopped bacon Mmmmmm. So bad. So good.

You should have gotten the three orifice option.

Sunday I filled in for a store manager at one of the LBS. Felt like crap most of the day as I stayed up too late the night before drinking beer and sleeping in a tent. Suck it up buttercup. So I work from 12-5 doing the best I can. This morning the Manager I subbed for sent me an email. It’s long so I had to split in two.:

Entry level. Her first bike. Sold her a good helmet too. Didn’t push the extended warranty; it’s useless on a bike like this,

Last night I was having a delicious glass of caramel flavored iced tea and some of those leaf shaped bakery cookies. This made me feel sated and happy. Then it occurred to me I could be having some of those bakery cookies shaped like little people and with a layer of chocolate filling. But I didn't have any and this made me sad. The leaf cookies were good, but not as good as the people shaped cookies. This afternoon during lunch I brought some bags of food to the food pantry at a local church. This made me feel good. Then I realized I was near a bakery and I felt very eager. I quickly drove over and went in. But they didn't have any of the little people cookies. This made me so sad I left without getting anything. Then I got home and realized I would still like to have some other tasty treats from the local bakery but didn't have any. This made me even sadder. I still want the little people cookies, though. The End

Yes. They found nothing.

Wear a mask.

You should call a ride home.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!!

I don't believe he really missed our feces. I think he was just talking shit...

Once we get Grandma out of the pool, we’ll never need it again!

I can do Friday or Saturday. Even Sunday. I'm easy.

23 miles with 2700 feet of climbing on the e bike then 8 miles and 800 feet of climbing on Brutus. Be careful with that slacker word.

Our 2 dogs are soooo different. The Jack Russel (Parker) a rescue dog about 12 years old must have been trained to walk. He just walks... and a few times he may get distracted, bot not very often. Bella our 4 year old Beagle (also a rescue dog) is constantly distracted, runs here, runs there, stops to smell, and recently just lays down in the shade. Parker gets a 1 1/2 mile walk. Bella must walk / run for 2 miles. Today Parker surprised me... WoBG put a concrete bunny in our landscaping. Kind of like this... Today, Parker started to walk past the landscaping along our driveway. He stopped for a bit, then ran full speed to the rabbit. I had to stop him just before he ran into the concrete rabbit.

I worked for a while as a commission salesman in a big box store selling stereo equipment. I tended to avoid pushing equipment with special deals for the salesman and instead tried my best to get the customer good equipment that fit within their budget. In spite of ducking the special commissions just for the sake of the money I did better than the other salesmen. Treating customers right caused them to tell others to come see me. It's always a good business to treat customers right.

Oh, and the electricity for all power tools used in today's project was generated by the on board solar system. My hippie friends will be so proud of me.

Here’s one you can appreciate: My son was playing in a summer HS scrimmage once. He had his morning workout followed by a game. MIL was visiting and wanted all of us to go out to lunch. Coach said fine, just be back in time to warm up as your starting. He wolfs down lunch, grabs a handful of cookies from the bakery. Wife & MIL stay and & he & I split while he wolfs down several cookies on the drive back. I ask him if he’s going to be OK playing so soon after a big meal. Yeah it’s fine... It wasn’t fine... During the second inning he’s clearly uncomfortable, burping & pausing between pitches. I shout at him from the stands, See, too many cookies!!!! Kid busts up laughing on the mound, walks the batter & coach comes out pissed & gives him the hook! It was awesome!

Weve been putting a lot of things together, now it’s time to get some elevation.

WoJSTL and I rode 15 miles on the tandem. Great weather yet again. We had to cut the ride short as 3 of our grandkids are coming over soon to give their mother a break.

Road America contacted me today about putting on a sidecar demonstration after the stunt show on Saturday and Sundays superbike race. We have 3 sidecars included ours doing the demonstration but we need a announcer for the show. Who wants to help us out?......you might get some TV time.

You may want to quadruple the amount of pasta....

I hope you don't poop out the hidden transmitter they inserted.

There's a blast from the past. And used in a sentence While on drugs Should be worth potato points at least

Careful who you call sub there fella. It looks like a full on woofer to me.

Sorry, I decline. I quit announcing after rec league football and the unwashed masses have to be near a chlorinated swimming pool! My last announcing was in the Annapolis High School press box - on the home field where Bill Belichick played high school football - for my nephew Ryan's Severna Park Green Hornets league championship game. That's how I want to go out:

Hold my beer

You try some arm balances and one legged chuturunga. Try some twisted chuturunga and a hour hour session with multiple vinyasa posing. Add some eagle poses and tree poses. Then, try and tell me it is nonsense. Yoga can kick you in the ass, if you do it right.

It counts. Mine since the patio has been digging out stray mulberry trees. The forbidden fruit was not an apple. It was a mulberry! The roots on them are definitely the spawn of Satan!

Oh wait, you probably want a score for that clunker. And the Parody Meter says.................. 3.18

14 miles. 900 feet. I was planning on a short 25ish miles. As soon as I got started I noticed my front deraileur would not shift. I was stuck in the big ring. So I did a great circle route that was relatively flat. Farm country though & that's what I like. I must have dinged the deraileur a couple weeks ago when I flatted 2x's & my office partner had to pick me up. Service scheduled for a week from Saturday. Guess I'm doing flat course repeats

Chastising is the only way she will learn, go ahead and nag that poor woman!

I'd like to be a part of that. I think it's a longer shot that I'll make an appearance but I'd like that opportunity.

yeah I was a slacker today... just our dog walk...

When she brings it back for a check up you can sell her a seat bag, spare tube and inflator. Even if she doesn’t want to fix a flat herself if she has the stuff someone will change it for her.

So I find out about Andy’s passing and shortly after get a call from my boss. He wanted me to know that the executive team really appreciates my efforts during the C 19 office closures and they put me in for a $2K bonus... I’ll see it on my check Friday but DD posts tomorrow so the EVP who put me in told my boss to tell me today. I’m not ready to be happy about the bonus just yet....

And, viola.

Another big project out of the way. This is the one that has been daunting me the most.

This morning's ride.
