I'm not holding my breath. She's already complaining that the room with the espresso machine and grinder "stink" like coffee.

Yep. I read something a few years back that said that many have adapted to these parts and no longer fly south. I’ve definitely noticed far fewer squadrons overhead flying south. Miss the sight and sound in the fall.

Before my parents moved the family from NYC to the country, they had a friend in the Bronx who was a coffee importer. I was probably 6 y.o. We went to his warehouse once and I distinctly remember many sacks of coffee all over the place and the heavenly aroma of coffee beans. I've been drinking coffee steadily since well before that.

The gravel that we're removing was put down around the perimeter of the house. I assume that it was for ease of maintenance/weed prevention?

I miss that epic migration also. Large bodies of water moderate local climate with cooler temps in summer and warmer in winter. There are large groups of geese that hang out here for the winter. They have everything they need right here, yummy grass to feed on and water everywhere to teach their goslings the finer points of being a goose. I like having them around.

I see the top 10, then a gap, then me with a grey number. And if I look for leaderboard for this year or today, I get a message saying I need premium to see that. I would not mind seeing it but not gonna pay for it.

As far as the year, you're 7 of 18. No 2 is at 7.6mph and then a jump to 9.3mph for No 1.

My legs were threatening to cramp towards the end of my ride. I wonder if MoAlpha could advise on the proper electrolyte intake to avoid this in the future.

We had a patch of stone in our front yard - it was something that was put in years and years ago. My wife wanted it gone - too many weeds. Yes, there was a barrier, but it was old and holey, and the weeds were finding a way through.

Got it. Interesting. Do you have hills like that in your neck of the woods? I like hills although I prefer 4-10%, the longer the better.
