@petitepedal sent me a most heartfelt card and a book by someone she knows about a rescued dog. Both are wonderful and absolutely made my day. Pictures to follow. Sincere thanks for thinking of me.

We painted two walls green and are working our way around the rest of the living areas with a fresh coat of the same color that’s in the kitchen. I have to replace a lampshade, hang a mirror to reflect the view out the front picture window, hang artwork, and find a desk organizer that will hold our laptops.

Garage is still being put together. We need an island style workbench and tool chest

During chemo blood pressure dropped to 60/40. Nuther ambulance ride, in the ER at Jamison now

It has not felt like this in over ten years. Never really loved the city house. I love the bike lifestyle, but don't like being in city limits. Think I shall go and ride my pump track. It is lightly raining.

The sound of rain hitting the metal roof was so nice. We have metal gutters, so I still hear the rain. It's more of a drippy sound. I like the sound of the drips. We had loud thunder and some heavy rain a bit ago.

I took your advice. What a mistake. Cellphone and wallet are ruined, but my money 💰 is laundered.

Has this got anything to do with your bed sheets and nutella again?

Boss booked us in an Air B&B. Thought it would be cheaper than a handful of hotel rooms. The AC is out, it’s 87° inside. I’m online booking a Marriott Suites room.

I do. Mostly because I am the only one who appreciates my humor. I like to post stuff I think is funny and come back and read it later. Sometimes, I LOL.

The wife and daughter left the campground to drive to Myrle for a week of softball Nationals. They've been there since Wens and I came home to work. They are doing pretty well and I found a last min cheap flight. So I am able to join them this evening in Myrtle Beach for a few nights. We'll all drive back Sunday. I was able to take off Monday so here comes yet another long travel weekend. I will get plenty of rest when I die.

It is so comfy. I find myself looking forward to getting in it. The room and the bed are just lovely. Having saved a boatload just makes it that much better.

In March as I was recovering..between 2 pay periods where I used 8 hours of PTO..but my files showed 108 hours gone I asked about it, and didn't get a response. Last week we had a zoom with the guy at the main office who works with ADP and is our HR contact...So..apparantly, to promote a "work life balance" they changed the policy.also we accrue PTO based on hours worked not the years hours on our anniversary. I and others were clear...WE WERE NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS CHANGE. So...I got 100 hours back N the w I need a cheap vacation..driving preferred over flying due to Covid.. Who wants me

See the one in the back. That's the highest peak in Miami.

And it comes with it's own pack of crayons.

I am always here, always watching.

@Kzoo My friend Will rides around Detroit a lot, and takes pics of art. There is so much that is great. Anywho, I seen this pic & added the kz for you

But what you actually get...

No Sir, but we all care and thank you for being so strong. Think pretty nurses like in Roger Corman movies

Good morning, does anyone want to trade me places today?

Yesterday it kinda hit me, 2 weeks of MIL, busy weekends, busy work, no rides, few runs, I need a break. I told my boss I’m taking Friday & Monday off and may not even go in today… I need some down time for sure and the next few days should be quiet. Since Covid hit I haven’t taken any real time off, just long weekends here & there. I’m thinking I’m due for a real vacation even if it’s a staycation.

Taking care of business. Every day!

I don;t always use hot sauce, but when I do, I usually enjoy the food more. There have been times when it was nice to just make a bland food edible, but other times it complements a flavor. What do you think? Is there anything like a consensus on this from the experts? Or is it pure opinion and taste.

36 miles in five days. Twice over the Continental Divide at over 11,000 feet.

I have been for the past several years. I have dental care routines that might be a bit on the obsessive or even the excessive side. It has taken over as my main hobby which use to be riding a bicycle. I wasn't always like this; just the opposite really. But things change as we age, even our obsessions. When I was at the dentist's office two days ago, she said something like, "Your gums are unbelievable. When I poke them while examining the area around your crowns, they don't bleed. Amazing. Unheard of, even. Whatever you are doing, keep doing it!" She has said similar things in the past. When I got home, I started to wonder why she never actually asks me exactly what I am doing. If a scientist, or a dentist even, sees something unusual, shouldn't they be interested in determining the root cause? As Alan Harper says, "The price of healthy gums is eternal vigilance".

Depends.

I like to spew random bullshit. It is fun.

I don't believe there is a morning thread which is wrong. May the majority of you have an excellent day.

2 words.... top shelf.

Goode pointe and congrats, but, 1) Who the flock is Alan Harper? 2) Why would the area around the crowns be more susceptible or different than other areas? 3) Can't believe I almost forgot this. Is she hot? Married? If not married, did you ask her oot?

She's standing in the back. She's a little hard to see when she stands behind Petite.

What could be better than having our own forum pieman, breadman, and beerman. And nestled at the gateway to the gorgeous Blue Ridge. And he even tolerated RG for while. What a mensch.

RE, you are becoming as intolerant as RG.

Yeah, just sounds like a flesh wound to me!

In other words, an Air B&B that has no air.

While motorcycles are not allowed, mountain bikes are encouraged…but I will hike.

7/29/21. 30 miles today with my son. Next to last ride that we will do together this summer .

Linda is self published..you can find the book on Amazon...just a FYI sales pitch

Remember webbie's bedroom? I use the Dr. Seuss stacking technique. It is sort of fun. brb with an example.

1) You must be kidding... 2) Not more susceptible; it's just part of her examination of the gums at the crowns. It's a dentite thing, I guess.

Cheese, are you sure it was snot you who had the name ObscureReferenceMan back in the prehistoric LF? You are just bubbling over with cultural references I have never heared aboot, You are causing a lot of wear and tear on my google, but at least Betsy what'shername was worth it (Russell). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Corman

No, you two are on a teeter totter going back and forth, up and down. You are up now since rr is laying low.

I think she likes it. I gave her some stewed meat when she came down here. It was the chunks of meat from the stock bones that I cooked.

Did your contractor treat your house with tornado repellant?

You need to be the one to introduce him to Miss Roberta Flack. If you keep one child away from today's garbage you are a success.
