That's what I get by trying to even out my tanlines and clear the yard shirtless. Fail.

Wrong. He needs to put it on a trunk rack and go to a car wash.

Just thinking about future weekend trips and such...

Is there a hitch style rack that has a very lockable or strong lock points on it / anti theft? Curious about what is out there, wouldn't even know where to start.

When living in NorCal, I actually inhaled the smoke from burning poison oak. I had it inside and out. The dr. gave me benedryl pills and cortizone pills. I found that if I doubled the dose, I felt nothing at all. Good stuff.
Then I got the bright idea of pulling the drum brakes from both sides of my truck, at the same time. I was 22.

Good job, Mr. Historian. Why our search hamster has so much trouble finding it is beyond me.

However it may be where it is because of it's size. Just as I remembered, Addiction I was just a warm up for Addiction II which reached over 50 thousand posts, an average of 13k posts per month, 425 posts and 17 pages per day. Just crazy!

There is a quick and dirty method as well, but it tends to leave scars. Take a kitchen knife and, using it perpendicular to the skin, scrape off the top layer of the blisters. Then take a paper towei soaked in a diluted mixture of clorox and water, and rub it in. Done.

So my scout did not go too well today. I pretty much knew what went wrong by the time I got home and went through it with coach later in the day. Long story, I won't bore you with the gory TT details.

Frustrated with myself. But of course now I want to head out there and scout the course again. But when?

Next Sat is my only chance at racing a 40k TT before the State Championship, so I hate to miss that one. The Sat after that is the last TT in the SoCal TT series, so I hate to miss that one too. Then the third Sat is the SoCal State TT.

Trying to strategize this, I revisited the points tally for the SoCal Series. Nemesis has 35 points, I have 30. The next woman behind us has 4 points.

So if I were to win and she did not make the podium, we'd be tied at 35 points. I couldn't find in the rules who would win if that happened, so I emailed the organizer. Turns out I'd win, because they'd give the series win to whoever has attended more races in the series. I've missed one and she has missed two.

Very unlikely it would unfold this way even if she flatted out, I probably wouldn't win (that course does not favor me). It is more likely that she wins and I don't make the podium.

But if there's a chance of winning the series, I have to show up, if only to make the point for next year that I am going to seriously try to chase her down.

So now its a Sophie's choice for me. An actual 40k race next Sat or more time on the SoCal Course? It's not that tricky of a course but there are some nuances that's it's good to wrap your head around fully. Don't want to be jacking things up on game day after all this work...

BTW, in our house we all eat the whole baked potato, skin and all. I will risk sounding exactly like my mother when I say the skin is the best (tasting) part. Do any of you know TGI Friday's potato skin appetizer? Cheese, bacon, I think salsa. Oh man, that stuff is good.

Labor Day. I very nearly made the mistake, yet again, of drivng into Merida on a business holiday. The idiocy of all idiocy. But now I have no excuse to not wash my dishes.
