When I have to do a lot of walking like these guys require I leave all that weight home and travel with a much lighter 200-500 f/5.6.

We are still finding stuff that has been damaged from the freeze of 2021. We've already replaced the main pool pump and the flow valves initially. Then a few months later we had to replace the booster pump for the cleaner since it leaked. Now, we have to replace the filter because it is leaking from the bottom due to freeze damage. When will it end???

Too much excitement this morning. Mrs GJ had the front screen door propped open, but with the front door shut, when a gust of wind blew the front door open. I was in the back of the house, still in my PJs, and I came out to hear her calling Rango and offering him a biscuit. Turns out he'd taken advantage of the open door and was now out on the street side!!! At the busiest time of day along our fairly busy street!!! 
BUT it turns out he just sauntered two houses down the street to the house of his little buddy Pepper, his Chihuahua pal, and was trying to figure out how to get in. He came right over to me when I called, and I held him till Mrs. GJ could go get his leash and harness, because you can't drag a Greyhound by a regular collar - unless you want to end up with a collar in your hand and a Greyhound with a nekkid neck.
Whew!!! All's well that ends.

I guess All Y'All have never had a rust ring on your eyeball. They use the most badass little grinder to deal with it. Self-powered by giving it a little spin.

This weekends project.
The large pallet is at least 2 feet taller than I am. And, I'm 6 foot.

I think my coach has told me that about 6 times tonight. Between watch my wheel and get in the front pack before the group splits.
I think I am going back to my original plan, not crashing, If I end up getting lapped so be it.
edit: I’ll be like Ricky Bobby after his crash.

I hope he also told you to stay in the drops. The last thing you need is to hook bars. If you've been paying attention, you've seen me speak of workouts done in the drops. I don't have an issue staying in them for a 50-minute crit. Plus, it's better leverage when you need to get someone off of you with your elbow.

It seems hand size mattered for like four years. I find it weird, but so are people.

I was walking in the hills on a windy night and a foxtail blew into my eye and went behind the eye so I couldn't reach it. The next morning enough of it was exposed to yank it out. A similar thing happened to one of my cats and she had to go to the vet to get it out.

Just got email that they will be pulling people who have been lapped. I get it, but was hoping they wouldn’t. From the videos I have seen of this course, if you are not in the first group at the start then lapping seems to be a sure thing.
