Tomorrow is my day to ride. Gonna be in the upper 60s F and gusty winds from the NW. If I head out somewhat early headed north, the the return will be a fine tail wind making me feel young again.

It's almost flyover time here! Gonna drive out to where I think we'll have a good view of one of their turns. Unfortunately no Blue Angels or Tbirds for us, just regular ol' grey birds of the USAF and ANG.

Our other house is in Marblehead, MA- talk about a great area to do things, but riding around there is death wish level with all of the M*******s.

Since I'm becoming a boozehound in the lockdown, I picked up some oranges with the notion of making old fashioneds. Upon cutting one open, though, I decided that I couldn't just relegate them to muddle and garnish duty - it had such beautiful pink/orange flesh, was nice and juicy and smelled great. I tried one slice and then immediately ate all but one wedge.
Afterwards, I had to look them up so that I could buy some more. They're Cara Cara oranges. I need to go back to my hippy co-op for more, because I don't think that I'm finding them at Target.

And I also have cousins in Marblehead. Actually a lot of family in MA. Preaching to the choir about M*******s. I have no idea what's in the water there, but NY should saddle up and invade. Put the "empire" back in Empire State!

I might try to find it on Garmin Connect.
Edit, I looked the ride up and it was only 64 miles with total ascent of of 68' or a little over 1' per mile.

Came upon this recipe yesterday. Boy that looks good. Considering ordering the fancy Spanish liquor just so I can make it. I have two pineapples sitting on my counter ripening up right now.
