Not mine. We tried sailing for a couple months (there's a long, boring, pointless story there) and Mrs. GJ could not rid herself of the fear that, when the boat was heeled over, she'd fall right over the gunwale into the briny. She was completely aware of the impossibility based on the geometry, but she couldn't shake the fear. Between that, and my tendency to mal de mer, it was clear we weren't cut out for it.
We were kayaking the overflow of a flooded stream, in among the trees, when I saw my last red-headed woodpecker. Are those things still seen?

Pretty humid on our ride today. A whole new route for a Tuesday starting in a different valley. My friend's wife seems obsessed with getting back into race shape ( I don't know if she is actually going to race) but she wants to hammer everywhere. It's not terrible but the other three of us work a little harder than we want to sometimes.
I felt pretty good considering how much I overdid it on the weekend.

im not riding at intensity or volume as last year. I thin I will still hit 10000, but it will be tight. Perfect example, last year I would have still ridden this morning, even after yesterday. This year, well, I will blame it on me thinking the wife was angry, so I chose not to ride this morning.

A couple days ago the grass was crispy. Two rains in two days and it is quite lush out there. It surprises me that it recovers so quickly

Little morning spin with bam and then hammered out a KOM after dropping him off 
I expect that the previous holder will retake it, though I think that at least a half dozen guys, that I've ridden with down here, could do it in favorable conditions. I could probably pace it a little better and squeeze out another 5-10w, but that's about my ceiling.

The 5 y/o grandson was visiting this past weekend, I had to bite my lip 2 or 3 times every day he was here. He doesn’t miss a single thing, a couple of times he would look at me, waiting for me to finish the sentence, and you could just hear those wheels whirring in his head.

Not very often, stirs a lot of interest when one does happen by.

Noticed how he was nice enough to drop me off before his attempt. Wouldn’t want me to get the jump or anything.
Hoenstly my legs were paper weights this morning, could barely hold on to whyfis wheel.

Yes, when it gets dry it sure looks like the grass must have died. But no! Quite unlike house plants in that respect.
