We've dropped into the golden age of our annual weather cycle. We likely won't break 85A for the next two months. A little chilly for VeloVol, but idyllic for the rest of us. I can dawdle as long as I want and it will still be nice out to go riding. I ordered a pair of Continental Ultra Sport tires this morning, from Ribble. I've been wanting to try them, and they are on sale for $11.xx apiece. It's been a long while since I've ridden 25mm tires. Mrs. Seeds will bring them back with her from her Christmas trip.

Only one, maybe two of those should be up there. No one's even trying to make an argument to the contrary.
We have a football tie. Both teams being held hostage by the House of Haslam.

To make a date shake, you chop dates finely and add water to make a paste. Medjool dates are best for this because the skin is thin and they blend more easily into the shake. Let the mix sit in the fridge at least over night. After that, you can portion it out and keep it in the freezer if you won't use it right away.
I just cheat and buy date paste, but I'm not sure how easy that is to buy outside of SoCal or the Middle East.
Then blend a good amount of date paste (2-4 tablespoons, depending on the size of your shake) with vanilla ice cream and milk.
To have a recovery drink instead, blend less date paste with milk and just maybe a spoonful of ice cream to thicken it up, plus whey protein isolate and a little powdered glutamine. It's really tasty. I realize you won't actually make any of this, but now you know what Im talking about...

Of course my Strava app is not working right, so the route looks funny and they took half off.

As a Cowboys fan I wouldn't have objected to that.

I'm asking because I've been thinking about glutamine lately. The guys I play softball with have roped me into playing basketball with them lately, now that softball season is done. Basketball is considerably harder on my joints so I'm wondering what I might turn to for relief from those arthritic pains besides motrin after every game. I can barely walk after a basketball session.

Maybe there are date types much different from the ones I've had in the store here? Because I won't in 100 years think of putting them in a lettuce salad. Ugh.
Did you try un/reinstalling Strava

Did not try uninstall trick. Will give it a shot later but I don't hold much hope.
Oh, I set up my KICKR Snap so may try a Zwift session later today.

We have a lovely concert to attend later today. It's the "Chester County Youth Orchestra" fall concert. Heidi is playing Oboe. Those double reed instrument players are temperamental...
Oh, good news on the datlas family music front. Heidi made it into District Band and Orchestra. Hannah made it into District Band, Orchestra, AND Choir. More concerts to come.
