5 pounds Need to drop more..but it is a start

Finished the springtime maintenance on the old Harley this morning. She got a new clutch plates and basket, oil change, starter rebuild, fresh summer air in the tires, a good washing and waxing....I'm going for a ride.

And I still feel crappy. Better but not recovered

Going to a celebration of life for a former fellow employee at a previous employer. She was the one who used to organize our reunions, so now someone else will have to step up in that role. I expect to see some people I have not seen in a long time.

Have to give some super muddy dogs baths. Rain the last 2 days have turned their play yards into mud. Then they decided they would like to try life as groundhogs. Beretta is very mad at me that she had to stay in the outdoor kennel over night and not come in our bedroom. Would you like to come give some huskies baths? They like baths and will make sure you get one too.

Oops! Mistake with the T in step 3. And didn’t get the correct vowel until step 4.

But our son did. Reading the race highlights thy reported on race 7 and then jumped to race 9.......sidecars were race 8

I'm unemployed so I don't have to go anywhere or do anything.. If the weather is crappie I sometimes I don't put pants on until after lunch

...could learn a thing or two from Bucky!

Same as Mattea was much more likely to know O Canada than her competitors a few games ago. Some of it comes down to luck.

mr. is smoking brisket and puttering in the yard. Everything is in bloom. After I take Second Child to bocce practice, we’re picking up First Child and moseying up to Madrid to take photos, poke around, and eat green chili cheeseburgers.

Tour de Stooges bike ride. Yuck yuck!

Great day to start with Adieu!

Oh bother.

Going to a Winnie the Pooh exhibit at a local garden. Unfortunately it's rainy today. The exhibit is inside the Conservatory which is good but I suspect we won't be walking around the other gardens. But we'll likely go to lunch, so that should be fun

EEEWWWWHHHH! A used toe spreader. Assembly doesn't look all that hard.

Ive emailed Bucky for his scoring algorithm. He said he'd send it to me later this morning.

@Randomguy ? We are family and you are a very important part of that family. You are greatly missed. Just one small request. Please change your avatar back to that most wonderful of felines, Prince Michael.

Why are the Montreal Canadiens called the habs?

The advantage of being retired is ta da Track Suits.

I wash my sleepwear in the shower. Then I put on clothes for the day. They may be shorts and a t-shirt or office wear; trousers, socks, belt, dress shoes, collared shirt, etc.

If I don't put on clothes after getting up I'm going to be cold.

Most of the time I sleep in my clothes, so I am ready to head outside when needed. Such is life with livestock and pets. 5 hours is a long period of sleep for me.

Nice bike. It will weigh less if you take the kick stand off.

Tour de Stooges Moe Metric Century 2022. Only 1,722 feet elevation. Great weather. Started out at 54°F and ended in the mid-60s. Blue skies with 10 mph winds out of the north. 9 Strava awards including 5 PRs. https://www.strava.com/activities/7103858437 After the ride there was food served at the college dining hall and Three Stooges videos on the TV screens.

I made cookie dough, and froze individually and now have for baking in small portions.

Tea flavor of this lovely Saturday morning.

She assumed Danielle would bet it all, so Mattea bet enough to exceed that amount by one dollar. But Danielle apparently figured that Mattea would bet that amount, so she bet just enough (by one dollar) to win if Mattea answered incorrectly, which is what happened. Danielle's bet doesn't really make sense to me. She could have bet much more and the outcome would have been the same. I guess she was trying to make sure she at least finished in second place. Because of Danielle's lower bet, Mattea could have won if she had bet any amount less than she did. But who knew? Danielle's bet was pretty unusual. The biggest problem was that the question was so biased for Danielle, who lives in Atlanta. Obviously, she would be much more likely to know the name of the Atlanta airport than someone from Canada.

I passed on the chance today. Gravel race today in Loudoun County. I drove up there in the rain. 50f windy and 39 miles in steady rain on gravel roads. I picked up my t-shirt and said no. Here’s the start / finish, Bluemont Station brewing:

I wish she’d done the math to her advantage.

You think that because you live and play in a major modern city full of 'come from aways'. Once you leave the city limits of Calgary and Edmonton, there is a major shift in attitudes. A much more extreme shift than other provinces (which all have that rural vs urban swing).

If we're talking caravans, I used to like them. Not so much as I got older. When I travel north snowmobiling, I'll pack, fill the tank and hook up the trailer the night before. Wake up at 4 am, my regular time, throw the last bits of luggage in the car, Mrs and the dogs can crawl sleepy eyed into the car, and we hit the road. We can be up there before 10 am with one gas stop, just in time for breakfast. So last February when we went up north snowmobiling, we met up with our son, DIL, and granddaughter for the ride up. I had fond memories from my childhood, of traveling north with several families, leaving before sunrise, watching the snowmo trailer lights ahead of us, etc, etc. But the new reality was, after our DIL slept in, then unnecessary delays and poor planning on their part, multiple stops for fuel, snacks and lunch, we didn't get up there until after 3 pm. Then I bit my lip when our DIL said she loved being there, but wished it didn't take all day to get up there.

I'd frequently send him pics of my cat

5/5/22. 43 miles on the group ride
