Sorry, military jargon for the body of accepted policies and procedures designed to keep idiots like me alive. Safety at Sea is heavy on it. There is nothing similar for riding a bike, witness the endless arguments here over “taking the lane” etc.

Speaking of Fat 'Merican, after hitting my weight goal a few weeks back, I've been lax with keeping track of my calories in/out and have stagnated. Now I'm refocusing for a new goal - another 10 lbs (15 lbs stretch). Just tallied up everything that I had on the ride, in addition to my late lunch and early dinner. If I don't eat anything else today, I'm tracking at about a 3k cal deficit. I guess this means I can have that scoop of ice cream.

Oh, an amusing thing from my ride.
During the last half of the ride, I had jumped on a trail - I like to avoid them if I can, but I was a little tired and it was the most direct route home. Anyway, at one point on said trail, I saw a walker ahead of me with a familiar frame/posture/gait. Even though he was facing away from me (going in the same direction), I could tell from 50 yards off that it was one of my good friends... one of my good friends that has never seen me in roadie regalia. So I decided to mess with him. I cruised up next to him, matched his pace, turned and nodded, and just carried on pacing him. For a few seconds he clearly had this "wtf is this guy doing?!" body language going on. When it finally dawned on him, a series of emotions quickly played out on his face and we both laughed our asses off.

I was tired when setting off yesterday. Frankly, I just wanted to roll over and go back to sleep. But it had been a few days, so I went. And was tired the whole time. I got home, had some lunch, took my favorite cold pill, and slept until mid morning today. First day in long memory without coffee. I slept most of the day too. At the moment I feel pretty good until I stand up, and I hope to be up to a real cup of coffee in the morning.
I'm attributing it to the wedding on Saturday, coupled with a weeks's worth of antibiotic leading up to it. It is a rare, rare day when I interact with more than two or three people. Airplanes tend to make me sick too.

This afternoon I helped out some kids that got their basketball jammed between the hoop and the backboard.
Even in cycling cleats, I still have some hops.

It's too cold for ice cream here. So I ate some chocolate instead. M&M hazelnut block. My daily commute is not quite sufficient to offset the amount of chocolate I ate.

At doctors office for my annual physical. Other than some minor/annoying musculoskeletal issues I think I am healthy, although my fasting sugar is a little too sweet. I think the visit should be an easy one for both of us.

My fasting glucose is always 100 and I have family history, but my Hb a1c is always fine.

76/72 psi this a.m. and starting to feel a bit of that “Cadillac ride.” Will keep going down gradually.

Was it Abe Lincoln who said "A doctor who gives himself a physical has a fool for a patient."?
