No rain, only wind. Predicted 35mph gusts where we're going. I usually count on a wind-wise person to step up and change the route.

So, I almost bagged on riding at all, but a small part of my brain said, "Don't skip the ride because you're feeling down, because that'll make it worse. Ride, and that'll make it better." So I did, and it did, even though it was just riding in the virtual world.

80 degrees for today’s undisclosed activity. I have an eye exam, I hope I pass. I didn't study for it. On a similar note, Roscoe had a check up yesterday and his heart condition hasn't worsened. 
I was worried. He wasn't.

We did not.
Given how much nasty stuff the textile industry dumped into the river, you don't really want to get in it. You definitely don't want to disturb the riverbed.
You've got to get to the rocks somehow, and it's not a dedicated path.

The other thing is the Chief Scientific Officer seems to think I have a gift for what I do. I have no idea if he's right because to me, it seems pretty simple and obvious. So I'll keep doing it, and either he's right or he's wrong, but in either case I'm gonna keep milking that cow while she's still producing.

Concord, MA! I have old family ties there. My great-great-etc. uncle, Moody Morse, was living in Bradford, when the word came about the British attack. He marched with 27 others the next day to join the fight. They marched 80 miles over 4 days.
He survived the war and settled in Peacham, Vermont. You can buy maple syrup today from nearby Morse Farm.

A little tune written about me
Verse 1:
There's a man who loves his soup
And his long beard, it's quite a scoop
He stirs his noodles with a smile
And adds some spice to make it worthwhile
Chorus:
Noodle soup, noodle soup
It's the best when you're in the loop
He's got his beer and cannabis too
Noodle soup, it's what he'll choose
Verse 2:
He takes a sip, he takes a hit
He loves his soup, he won't quit
The warmth and spice, it fills him up
He takes another bite, it's just enough
Chorus:
Noodle soup, noodle soup
It's the best when you're in the loop
He's got his beer and cannabis too
Noodle soup, it's what he'll choose
Bridge:
He's got his bowl, he's got his spoon
He'll slurp it up, it'll be gone soon
His long beard, it's in the mix
But he doesn't care, he's getting his fix
Chorus:
Noodle soup, noodle soup
It's the best when you're in the loop
He's got his beer and cannabis too
Noodle soup, it's what he'll choose
Outro:
So if you're feeling down and blue
Just grab some soup, it'll do for you
Add some spice, take a hit or two
Noodle soup, it's what you'll want to do.

Did my longest and most painful Zwift ride ever. I wanna puke now. It makes me feel especially good that I canceled my subscription and it will lapse in a few days. Fake miles suck on several levels. Especially ones that end with the Alpe de Zwift.

I almost did a Tour of Watopia ride that ended there last night, but Mrs GJ had other plans, so I did the one with the Epic KOM and the Radio Tower instead.

Well. That 9 speed cassette and 7 speed chain were a match made in heaven. Plus, I'd never ridden 9 speed* before and it was quite luxurious. I did find myself shifting more, what with the smaller steps. And the cherry on top? Tailwind all the way out and cross tailwind the bulk of the way back.
*I received a couple 9 speed wheels in exchange for some mechanic work
