But when I’m out on my bike
It’s a different mood
I leave my brain at home
Get up on the sattle
No hanging around
I don’t diddle-daddle

Got out for a ride today and I feel much better for it. :-)

Some day, I needed to show this to someone. Guess now’s as good a time as any.

Click to see!

The home wrecker with the heart of gold
Keep you locked up in the trunk of my mind

I got in a rare Pre-work ride today! Of course it was only because I’m not on until noon.

It felt good to…

I wanna do bad things with you.

Super fantastic, that’s what this is. I love my new gadget! This is way cooler, and much more in-depth than I’m capable of doing myself. (see below)
 

It’s been a long week, and it felt great to get out for a ride. If I can get into a better pattern, I might start doing quick 5-10 mile rides after work. So long as I’m on the road by 7:30, I’ll be back before dark…at least for now. That will of course change as winter approaches. 

Unlike any past year, where I’ve made “resolutions” (i prefer “goals for the year”) I’ve actually accomplished several. I have them written down, but Jackie has the list, and of course my memory fails me in everything that’s on it. I did Finally get my FOID card, that was a goal. Within the next few months, I’ll be signing up to take my Conceal Carry class, I’m excited about that. MI was a conceal carry state, but I never applied for it, and I moved down here just as I started to put forth the effort. M’eh, now I’m more motivated to accomplish my goals on the list. It’s a lot easier to do when I have so many more resources available down here. 

That’s all I have to say on this B-E-A-utiful Saturday! Auf Wiedersehen! 

I was going to put in a real post about my rides and whatever else came to mind, but I’m tired now, so I’ll leave you with just my ride stats from this weekend.

Sat:
Trip Dist: 24.12mi.
Trip Time: 1:41:24
Avg. Speed: 14.3mph
Max Speed: 24.24mph

Sun:
Trip Dist: 20.30mi
Trip Time: 1:29:48
Avg. Speed: 13.6mph
Max Speed: 26.1mph

I got a new Cycling computer today, when I get it installed, I expect to be able to provide a better picture of the rides (not that I think any of you are all that interested, but m’eh)..

I’ve been having fun with tutorials (I added my own flare to it):

Another birthday has come and gone. I’m anther full year older, and just a little bigger.

This year, I celebrated my birthday up north at my Mom’s house. I realized that even though I miss the snow and hills, my life is easier without being burried under 200-300″ a season. What I do need more of (besides cowbell) is regular snowboarding. I’ve used my current board less than a handful of times, and iirc, I bought it in spring of 2006. Needless to say, I can hear it crying in the closet sometimes.

And I was thinkin’ ‘bout myself and there she was.
In platform double suede, yeah there she was.
Like a disco lemonade…

NOTE TO SELF: When tethering on your laptop, save your work more often than usual. Trust me, I’m you.

Now, let’s start again…

It’s a deceptively beautiful day out today. The sun is shining, it has been all day and cloud cover is only now starting to appear. The sky was a bright blue, the kind that makes you want to go outside and revel in the outdoors and all of nature’s glory, no matter what you’re activity of choice is. The deceptive part is that it’s –12 deg C outside and there’s a good breeze goin’ on too.

Aside from that, it’s been months since last I posted anything of significance, so I’ll try to fill in the gap because there were some bigger events in there.

Happy Father’s Day dad!

I know you will most likely not read this today, or anytime soon, But eventually you will. Just thought I’d post it anyways.
