I ended up going for a ride, too. I thought I'd just do a shortish, low-intensity ride. I ended up going for my longest ride since 2017. That's not saying much, but it was one of those days when you feel like a Cycling God, and every time you reach down for a little more, you always find it. The smoke held off - AQI not over 120 or so the whole ride. Maybe not my best decision, but hey - I could sit at home and not go out till the air is perfectly crystal clear, and then get run over by somebody talking on their phone.

Is this how you do church in the COVID era? DougRNS is still streaming since we only have limited capacity. I hope my cardiology tests don't reveal anything serious. I don't want to be in the "at risk" category.
In other news, I have ridden 18 out of 19 days and 13 in a row.
Avoiding rain is key. <-- There's your nugget of advice.

While riding, I happened upon this feral sofa.

I can assume by the absence of water bottles, you are practicing the @Velo Vol approved pre-hydration methods.

I spent the day taking apart that play ground that I just built for my daughter in June. Plan was to remove the slides, swings, roof, and ladder then carry the body of it to the trailer. For cheap wood this thing is heavy. Ended up stripping it of almost everything but the wall support and floor and still can’t move it. Frustrated.
The garbage disposal took a dump today too. First thing to break on the new house. Tried resetting it and using the tool but it won’t run. Going to try and replace that tomorrow too. This move has seriously been the hardest one yet. My whole body feels like I got hit by a truck. I still have a heavy ass futon and jewelry box plus the above picture and then I am done.

Water bottles and tail light are off screen, right.
BUT, the temperature today was darn near perfect. 65-70, not too windy. The sun, of course, was really attenuated by the haze.

Off the subject -
Holy schnikes, does that Dune trailer look good.
Seeing snippets of the Dune movie/mini-series on cable when I was a kid really turned me off for whatever reason, and I'd never developed an interested in Dune, neither books nor film, but this has very interested. As much as I want to read the book ASAP, I kind of want read it after the movies so that compromises/omissions/additions don't bother me as much.
Also, I wasn't feelin' the Pink Floyd cover in the trailer at first, but when it ramps up, it's great.
