Flew to Boston today. Travelling for business means you stay in a fairly generic hotel, someplace fairly generic, and you usually end up eating in places that are fairly generic. So, here I am in Boston, a place I''ve only ever been once before (also on business), and I could be in Oklahoma City, for all the difference I see.
On the plus side, the brand new reproduction Shimano Sante brake lever hoods have now been ordered and as soon as they arrive, I'll put the new Cinelli stem, the Highway One bar, and the brake levers with the new hoods on the Circuit, and with luck it'll be wonderful.

If you like seafood, supposedly “The Daily Catch” is really good.

In my area, cats that go outside don’t survive very long. Coyotes. Even during the day.

I see coyotes several times per year on my rides to mission trails. Saw one last MTB ride in fact, didn't even think to mention it. Big, healthy specimen too with a nice thick coat and a streak of red over the tail. Handsome!
Hopefully I see one again tomorrow morning.

I used to feed some of the feral cats and there was one who didn't want anything to do with people. I tried to give him food but he wouldn't even get near it. I saw him for 9 years. He'd be walking around with a gopher in his mouth and he'd ignore me.

I saw no coyotes on my hike today, but I did see a road runner and a couple dozen quail.

I yarded most of the day today. Got rid of a bunch of agaves, got stabbed by them many times. Mowed and edged the lawn, pulled some weeds, Replaced a couple of irrigation valves. Put an irrigation controller on a valve to fill the pool...

Wait, that game was in the City of the Angels. Must've been a Padres fan invasion!

I've helped a few times in recent years installing mulch at the church. A member has a jumbo trailer and picked up lots at a place where they grind up tree waste to produce mulch.
A few straight hours of that carp is enough for me.
Loud hat alert.

Several choppers disturbing the peace. IIRC, the POTUS is in town today.

Lovely morning on the MTB, unstructured, mostly EZ. Felt lazy at first and just enjoyed being outside in the cool morning. I rode the techy bits in the middle quite nicely and even cleaned a tough technical climb that I have a ~50% success rate on, sweet. Last time I put my foot down like 4 times, lol. Felt a little spunky on my mostly-downhill ~2.5 mile road transfer back home afterward, so I gave it some gas.
Tomorrow, using some PTO to get a long ride in, aiming for 5 hrs of mostly z2. Long rides are a rarity these days. Gonna try to start nice and early, so I can be home to care for baby and give Liz a break for most of the day.
