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

It’s supposed to be worse east of you. Possibly 3”.

I will be delivering meals for MANNA tomorrow morning and then plan to stock up for whatever I might need for Saturday. Grilling is out.

That's a fair amount of beer for one day on the bike. Must be 12 oz, not 24oz cans

had something I wanted to get started today in the lab, and one of my lab techs wasn't able to finish in time. rather than ask him to work a little OT for 15 min or start it late, I just did it myself. it was literally just filling 12ish vials with some product, recording masses and beginning heated solvent evaporation. by the mid point I was in flow state and things were going smoothly with my manual technique and I found it quite cathartic. I spend too much time at my desk sitting and thinking which is tiring.

next week my boss (dept head) is out on vacation so I am big man on campus. gonna crack the whip on these kids lol

I miss lab work. I think that's why, when I ended up running a group, I really got into working on watches, because 1) it's precise work you do with your hands, and 2) you are solely responsible for its success or failure, rather than being responsible if someone else fails.

Agree. Once I looked closer, it made so much more sense, but I like your thinking way more better.

CSU was a tale of two basketball teams this year. Many times, a very good team showed up, but a horrid one showed up enough times to stink up their ranking.
