My cat loves cheese. I think most do. Possibly the salt? Last weekend he had some bison. The week before that I gave him some of the rabbit I grilled. He liked that so much he tried to get more off my plate.

So, I bought the watch... It also has live tracking which I'm hoping will smooth over the purchase some. She's always worried about me being dead or whatever when I ride. Now she'll know.

That's how I bought my 510.

I woke up this morning congested with a little bit of a headache. Ninety minutes later, I would happily have removed my own head with a penknife. But I had an activity meeting at 10:45, so I drank some several days old coffee, swallowed a Tylenol and a Sudafed and dragged my sorry ass in. My office-mate, whose department this actually is and whose responsibility it was to run the meeting, was not here by the time it started. She also was not here by the time it ended. Her mom, who also works here, came up and asked if I'd heard from her. So, I texted her and she sends back "I just woke up. I overslept." Well, no ****. She just now arrived and she'll be leaving at 2. Luckily, the magic combination of medication and caffeine and 24 ounces of fluids in a two hour period worked wonders and it looks like I'm going to live. But holy cow. She does this every other week and it always makes feel kind of dumb.

And *you* will relate to this: they've had one of the streets I take to get to work torn up or blocked off for at least a month and we all had to take a very narrow detour or take a shortcut through a business's parking lot. This morning, I discover they have ripped up the street which formed the detour and now the parking lot is the detour for the original detour. Shouldn't they finish fixing one street before destroying another one in the same neighborhood? And they haven't unblocked the first one. There it is. Picture perfect and framed by sawhorses, cones, and orange tape. Grrr.

Maybe I'm extra irritated because of the endorsement this morning or maybe it's because nobody brought me dessert for breakfast. I'll be okay.

10,000 years ago the Egyptians treated cats like royalty. Cats have never forgotten that.

You should have told him he could go outside and get his own damn rabbit.

Not that anyone cares, but the Vivomove is synching with Garmin Connect again! Seems they fixed the issue last night.

Which one is this that has the live track feature?

Edit: I found it. Let me know what you think of the VivoActive.

You'll see. You'll all see.

Does not work as well with someone who owns only dress/work shoes and sneakers. I tried using it when explaining to my daughter why LoP, as an example, had a variety of bikes and she said "You already have too many pair of shoes. Try to show more restraint when it comes to bikes".

We could never get anyone to turn it off at work and we'd come in in the morning to find black sludge on the inside bottom of the pot from where it was partly burned on.

So far so good, but all I've done with it is sync to my phone and set it up. Tonight is trivia night so I won't get to check it out in action until tomorrow when I go for a run.

That's happened here before, but most everyone checks that before they leave.

I paid cash for my 520.

So, now I have a watch telling me I need to get up and move. I guess walking to get coffee/water and to the bathroom isn't enough to clear it.

RPK79

I considered this.

Same here - I ended up picking up some stuff from Merlin instead. I couldn't find anything non-cycling related either.

Not as subterfuge. It's a little better for the shop. No merchant fee.

I live in the big city. The closets rabbits are maybe 6-7 blocks away, but I do occasionally get possums and 'coons in my alley and on the wall surrounding my deck. Plus, he's a lazy fellow. He's sit by his wet food bowl and make me move it into a pile so he doesn't have to work to get it from around the edges. I sometimes tell him I am going to toss him back out on street so he can remember how hard life used to be, but then he rubs against my legs and I forgive him.

I actually related more to the first part of the post. We have some situations like that at my job. Lots of family ties throughout the company. There is one guy who works here who is a nephew to the owner of the business. They moved him from a manufacturing type role to the office when he graduated about a year ago. I have talked to the people up front and they have no idea what his actual title/responsibilities are and he apparently comes and goes as he pleases.

I just try to do my job well and take pride in the design and builds I do. I don't have time to tattle on everyone who slacks off. That and "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Can't exactly get all high and mighty when I'm posting on BF during work.

I can get used to this tapering thing. The hill climb I did over the weekend had me seriously considering turning around and coasting to my truck. The crit on Sunday made me happy, as my bike handling and pack comfort is better than before I broke my hip. Top ten without really working for it, because falling down was something I didn't want to do prior to an out of town race.

An hour Z1 on the TT bike tonight, 30/30's tomorrow night, another hour on the TT bike on Thursday, and hopefully my legs will be cracklin' for the TT on Friday. TT will be openers for the crit on Saturday, which will be openers for the RR on Sunday.

Yay Bikes!

Just shake your wrist for a minute, it'll go away.

Be careful though, sitting at your desk like this all day might get you some odd looks.

I need to grow up again and buy a car. Think I am going to get a 2017 Subaru Forester.

I'm still pleased as punch about my Ford Flex. I guess their sales are horrible and they're planning to end production on them after 2017.
