Not enough recent team sports experience, other than yacht racing, to compare, and that definitely doesn’t work. However, I get a nice bit of peace from a purposeful immersion in the weight room, especially the gym at work, which is mostly empty during the work day.

Gonna be hot for a while (couple weeks of 110+ likely), so yesterday I got started on another cold country show to help me survive the summer. On Amazon Prime Video...

You saw at post #2562 that it did not. And to answer your question, yes.
Posts 2562 exemplifies today's low quality output. If I wasn't such a nice guy I'd blame you. Then you respond by saying it's not easy being Vol.

It really does require a team to combat the Boomer vibe here. Velo Vol , bampilot06 , and TMonk versus the oldes.

On IG that post has more likes than you do in 10,000 posts here.
WhyFi is questionable; he likes records.

They're not vegetables. They're not fruit. They're animals. They have the same kind of nutrition in them as other meat.

I found the big magnet, while feeding the cat. It was right where it should have been. Tied a string to it and went looking for the screwdriver. Didn’t find it then. But a little later, doing another small project I’d forgotten about doing the day I lost it, there it was . In plain sight.Smiles all around.

taking the day off tomorrow for a little bike + train adventure with my older daughter (12)
we ride around a lot, but she's never done a long sustained ride more than perhaps 10 miles. this will be 18 miles each way to and from the train station with a long break in between. a couple short climbs of 250-300 feet each. she's keen to skip the train on the way back and ride the whole way (57 miles) but i told her it was too big of a jump from her previous longest ride. will be pretty interesting to see how she does - also a bit apprehensive!!
