OK glad it's better. Maybe NED is the correct expression?
Scientology is very interesting, I have read a few books on it. Pretty wacky stuff, but to each his/her own I reckon.

Well I guess I could ride in there on my bike and do the same, then, since I'm well equipped in the magic department. Except I have no idea why one would go there, to Trollheim, I mean. I would imagine its nothing but a bunch of people being deliberatively provacative. I get enough of that in real life, why would I volunteer for more?

Bees...damned bees... They're like little, yellow, football shaped homing missiles that spiral into you...and of course they get right into the helmet vents and WHAM!!! I was stung twice yesterday inside of 5 minutes... Good ride though, I'm getting stronger and I think the venom induced pain had a placebo effect keeping me from going into that wussy place in the mind... Nevertheless, I think a bandana over the forehead would go a long ways towards avoiding the stings...
Didn't hit the roads today, will get out for some hilly torture in the Palisades tomorrow.
Going to pick up this furry maggot in two weeks:
I had to gut the basement, a wee bit of a mold issue...clearance testing on Monday, then I need proper drainage installed, and I have to re-finish the place... It works to my advantage, I'm secretly building my lair.
Daughter graduated HS with honors, going to Baruch College for psych...I'm doomed to a lifetime of analysis...
Good luck with the pooch HP..

He is doing a little better. Still vomiting but his numbers are improving. That doesn't mean that much while he's on the IV fluids but it's better than the numbers getting worse. Most importantly he does have a urinary tract infection, so if the problem is a kidney infection there is a chance it's all reversible.
Those looks are the best. When they look at you with that quizzical look, like "I don't know what this idiot is doing with that gadget, but I trust them".
Just to be yourself, you mean?

Interesting ride today started sweating bullets from the heat, then getting pummeled by hard rain.

...big fire in Napa, close enough to foul the air a little. There's a July 4th ride called the Freedom Ride here
Friday am down through the delta, but I get tired of sucking in the particulates this time of year.

The smog is in the low places, after all. Plus nothing is currently on fire down here, a minor miracle considering the drought. I'm sure somebody will start the place burning on the 4th of July, though.Speaking of which, the only good thing about having a sick dog & cancelled sail trip is that I can ride my bike a little. Maybe you should come down for 4th of July, escape the bad NoCal air? Glendora Mt Road is closed to motor vehicle traffic for the weekend so the road becomes a mass cycling event. See you Friday. It will be good training for Mammoth. I will even lend you one of my extra CF seatposts

Casually Deliberate
I've never ventured into TH and I'm not sure I'm ready to. Is it much worse than Living Carfree or A&S? I kind of enjoyed P&R when they weren't endlessly discussing false flag attacks by or maybe it was on Woody Allen.
