I thought that I'd be choosing between the lesser of two miserables, riding in ****ty weather vs sitting on my ass, but it turns out that the ride was surprisingly pleasant. I was actually tempted to turn the maintenance ride in to something a little longer but, alas, the wife and kids were expecting me back. In any event, I credit the hot pink Rapha jacket - WAAAAAY superior to any marigold jacket.

My wife wants the garage painted and says that I've put it off long enough so I moved half of the stuff in the garage so I can paint one side and filled all of the nail holes (plaster walls). I'm getting ready to ride and my wife wants to know where I'm going. Told her that i have to wait for the sparkling to dry but if she wants to start on the trim while I'm out riding, go ahead.

Just to make sure that my wife gets the trimming done before I get home, I stopped mid-ride for a turkey chef salad and now stopped again for an Americano. Another hour or so and she should be done.
