I call the one on the right a cutting spade. Don’t know what the other one is called. Too bad about the tree. I was thinking about all the gin and tonics.

Looks like Home Depot calls 'em border spades or edging spades. Guess drain spades all have round bottoms, but we just called any of those skinny bladed ones drain spades.

So, experts, why don’t cycling interval workouts include “ladders” or “pyramids,” where the interval duration or intensity is varied progressively? I used to sort of like them when I was vainly trying to compete at swimming.

I've done 3'-4'-5'-4'-3, but in all honesty, if you're doing something like that, may as well go all in, and just do 5x5'.

Tempting, low hanging fruit.

Older I get, less I sleep. 6 hours is a good night. Not fitful or shallow during the night, no tossing and turning but just can’t keep
it up longer than 6 hours. Turned off the Astros game in disgust at 10 last night and was up at 4:25. Thankfully there is the Internet...and Morning Joe.
The good news is that when I take 1/2 of a 20 mg Lasix that early, I’m done pishing before it is time to go out of the house. I started the Lasix about a year ago to prevent the very minor ankle swelling I was seeing episodically. 10 mg a day controls it beautifully.

4:30 is my ideal wake up time. But I still like 7.5 hours sleep. Lately I've been asleep by 9. So easy to do with no TV in the house.

So...A friend of mine bought a ticket for this bike camping event next weekend but cannot make it, so she transferred her registration to me:

Insanely expensive for what it is, which is why I never go on their events. I will give her some money though. Weather is looking good. Saturday night should get down near 40. Better bring the long undies.

Hey, if this is the official "Smutty Word Ban Request Thread", I saw something on the board last night that had me clutching for my pearls:
I don't know what it is, but it sounds absolutely filthy. In fact, I can think of at least two different totally disgusting things that it might possibly mean. Out of an abundance of caution, I think it should go onto the BF "banned word list". It should definitely NOT be official BB Code used here on the board. It's bad enough that the board is named "BF". We all already know what THAT stands for.

Really? Sop****re.
I saw the word tits in another thread, not sure that's been fixed. I hope so. Of course it depends on the context, but I would not object to that one being censored. In this case I am referring to the bird, titmouse, plural.

That's quite early. I like 7 hours, so typically go to sleep 10:30ish and get up 5:30ish.
