You may be familiar with the regional chain of "Bike Line" stores. They sold to Trek a year or two ago, and now are all Trek Factory Stores (I think the owners may have kept a couple Bike Lines in Delaware but all the ones around here are now Trek).

Sofritas are a vegetarian protein option that is kinda like crumbly tofu with spices and it's pretty good. A mi me gustan las sofritas.

Setting out of office email and voice mail notices is liberating.

I will rarely complain about rain either, now included. The thing is that it is just so unusual to get this much rain in this part of the world outside of a hurricane. It's raining as we speak. We will likely get our entire season's average rainfall during these two weeks. It feels like when we lived in the rainforest. It was normal there.

Do get tired of muddy paw prints, the male schnauzer digging holes to China in the house, the other schnauzer doesn't like to get her paws wet, and the mud loving bulldog is a nasty ho that can't clean herself.

My 11:45 cancelled so I was able to sneak out to Chipotle for carry-out lunch. I got a big bowl with sofritas and it's really good.
In other good news, there is a "Trek Factory Store" 3 doors down from Chipotle and I am on their mailing list, they emailed a "Father's Day Coupon" for $20 off any purchase. The Habanero has bar tape that is 10 years old so time for an update. I got Bontrager Supertack tape in "Sky Blue" the usual price is $30 so after tax/coupon it was $11.
Did I get a good buy??

Shopping completed, crap taken off boat, stuff put on boat, stuff put away, broken things fixed, personal gear sorted, tanks filled, emergency drills done, briefings listened to, strategy discussed, parties attended, spouses called, and we start tomorrow at about 1250!
The first 24 hrs will be a slog, but fast. Later should be beautiful with a moderate sea state, but enough wind to keep moving well, sunny days, and moonlit nights. Might even be able to open some hatches to air out the stank and crack open a book on the off watch.
Have a great weekend, all!

They were hungry, they wanted it. I love the Warriors but I'm glad to see Lowry and Leonard get one.

Because of rains, we're 7 weeks into the season but I've only played 3 games. Ridiculous.

My favorite color is sky blue. That is the first time I actually ever paid attention to color names it was corn flower blue, and I used it as my sky, it was the only color I had, so I used it and imagined it as sky, sky blue.
