Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

In this case the why is - Florida man.
I hope Lamborghinis have a wiper setting for that.

went to bed last night dehydrated. My heart rate was elevated and I had a hard time sleeping. According to my fitbit I only got 5 hours, feeling it now.

Got about 50 percent of the out door decorations up today. I leave for work tomorrow so will finish the rest when I get home.

We bought a 60 inch wreath to hang over our garage. It weighs about 25 pounds, but I need some help with figuring out how to hang it. Siding is vinyl, and the trim at the top before the gutter is vinyl as well. I really don’t want to start drilling holes with no way of knowing what’s underneath. Anybody have any suggestions?

I looked at commando but, they were not rated for enough weight.

Ground some decaf for the press with dinner. It was most notably smooth but a little lacking in robust coffee flavor. It was still very enjoyable and will be good to mix with the super monk. I didn't try any of the high test and will wait until Saturday to give a report.

Another item to add to the ever growing fear lists. I place this one right after Moose.

correct.
You have a long list of things to be worried about such as where is the next win for the 'Vols going to come from? I don't see a win until 2021 when they play East Tennessee state.

Nice. Super Monk is smooth, and the high octane really is. It has some suds. Hopefully it has enough bold for you. I just finished up this one yesterday, and for the Monks, it's pretty tasty. Slightly more bite, but not burnt bite, just taste.

There is no such thing as enough garage.

We drive trucks, and they can live in the driveway...
