Pucker? I filed a Missing Navel report!

So my family picked up a new pup this past weekend... It's been many years since my wife or I have owned a dog and it's much more fun than I remember. She has been an absoulute blast to have around. I'm not real sure what she has in her. The adoption folks thought she was a Border Collie mix. What ever she is, I have my fingers crossed that she will grow up to be a decent trail dog. Right now she is just all puppy.

She looks like a collie mix of some sort. Should be an epic trail pal. I'm jealous. I REALLY want a dog.

Border collie mixes are such goodhearted companions. I sure miss ours. Congrats to you highrevs. Keep that busy mouth occupied constructively

I'm pretty proud of myself. The lady that I'm doing some work for had a bike shipped in from Norway. I built it up and the wheels looked a lot like Pringels potato chips. Being the supergnar mechanic that I am I got the back to just about perfect.So I'm gonna pat myself on the back for a while.......carry on.

I can't just ride all the time. I love to be outside and get a lot of riding in but I need those backcountry,camping,flyfishing,lost in the woods adventures just as much as riding. A pack of coyotes blasting through camp in the middle of the night will really get the blood flowing.

I hate a riding slump. No. Urge. To. Ride. At all. Weather is overcast and 40F right now; not bad at all. Bikes are good to go. Well, gotta swap a tire and do some brake work on one, but no biggy.

Meh. Just don't feel at all like doing a damn thing today.

I hate that.
