I was in the plant last night from 9:30pm to 3am battling flood waters, and cleaning up the aftermath. When I would look outside, I would invariably see some idiot trying to drive their car under 690 to its sputtering doom. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera to catch the picture of the guy pushing his bike through it. I didn't realize he was pushing a bike until it slowly emerged from beneath the murky water. At a distance, I couldn't tell if he had a low end 105 group.

Canada Day! It's a holiday. Oh... we're already on holiday.
Machka is sleeping in to celebrate, then we're being picked up and headed off to hike up Mt Cheam, just to the east of here. It's a mountain that still has a glacial covering even in the height of summer. Not quite as grand as Mt Baker on the other side of the border that stays white all year, but still should be a great experience.

So, the bank is cutting three people out of my team of seven. Time to go looking. Very seriously.

I took a rare day off from riding and got some chores done - put up three outdoor lights, none of which were straight forward installations, hung a new heavy duty downspout. The excessive rain has been hard on one of my downspouts. Water drops a story and a half in a large size spout and has ripped out the elbows. A nice lesson in hydraulics but nothing new elbows and pop rivets should handle.
I wanted to continue pruning trees but my wife won't let me. That reminds me, time to head to the doctor to get stitches removed.

So, I'm sitting in my doctor's waiting room and there is me other person here besides me. She's a lady on a cell phone talking non-stop at high volume.

So this new guy started riding with us just a few months ago. Nice guy, mid 30's, said he had just started riding a couple months before he started with us. He was already an ok rider but probably a B rider. He has made amazing progress since the spring and is now an A- rider with the potential to be an A rider.
I mentioned this fairly remarkable rapid rise in cycling ability to another rider, and he clued me in that the new guy is a former professional MLB baseball player. So the guy is obviously a gifted athlete. Now it makes sense.

I bet your doctor is making you wait and is idly posting on the interwebz.

It's okay to grab her phone and smash it, provided you sincerely apologize after. You've been attacked by a shark, for Goodness sake, and the World owes you a little courtesy.
