That said, the only furniture I'd get excited for would be La-Z-Boy. IKEA is just boring.

However, mrs datlas has her eyes on a fine looking tall dresser we saw at Room and Board, so a new addition might be coming to our family.

1 word to describe my ride today: Glorious.
It was only 10.4 miles but while I was on the bike I had no pain anywhere and no worries. I was one with the bike and it felt like I was transported to a time when i was free of defects. I can't explain it but it's the first time I felt normal since I began riding on June 1st.
I can't wait until tomorrow's ride. Maybe I can catch lightening in a bottle again.

Most bars typically treat baseball like a redheaded stepchild, but we have audio for the baseball game tonight.

Had we known, we certainly would have left them overnight. It's insanity over there. They have these jackets on, to protect the stitches, and they just slither out of them.

And we will have no rodent issues for the for the foreseeable future. We live in a house whose doors are never closed, except during a driving rain. So, without cats, the rodents have the run of the place

Weird, my saddle height is the exact same as all of my other bikes. Just under 31 inches, but on the check point it felt too low this morning. How is that possible. Measure from center of BB to top of seat.
