Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yeah, even after the desktop update it got into a boot lock. Trying the factory wipe and reinstall option, but I suspect the dead home button was a symptom of a dying board and it's no longer for this world.

My HS graduation was in the HS gymnasium, with its ceiling stripped barren during asbestos removal.

I'm two years in to Android and I still think that Cortana is better than Google's Assistant. I miss Cortana.

Puppy Love earned her Field Trial Championship this winter. She needed 35 points, three top four placements and a win. She wound up with 47.5 points, six top four placements and two wins. It was great to watch her figure it out. Still learning of coursel





I wasn’t running the baby at first but I have since put the cutest most exuberant recall on her, so I’ve run her in 4 Trials so far and she’s taken 3rd, 4th and 5th. So cute, she’s only 10 months old.





Puppy Love has some Hunt tests coming up- similar to the field trials, she needs on more pass to earn a title, Hunting Hound.

So I’ve been a little distracted from the bikes this winter. Riding and trying to get into race shape for March, which is pretty soon! Better get cracking.

We hired a third neurologist to start in Aug. I’m exploring the possibility of going to a 30 hour work week then. We’ll see.

Going to Maui in May. Gonna try to climb Haleakala.

who here’s been up to what?

My wife’s computer is windows 7, officially obsolete. She’s had it for 12 years and has taken very good care of it. Something else we will have to buy soon.

Congrats on the puppy victories! I have a 10 month old Dobie I’ve been trying to decide what to get into, she’s athletic as hell and it would be a shame not to use it somehow.
