Made a bit of an old fool of myself today. On a long flat on my return from a long, hot ride, I noticed two riders on my wheel. Having no interest in anything other than finishing my workout at my chosen level of effort, I held pace. They just camped out there, so I went reluctantly into pace line mode, held my line, and began to point out bad pavement. After about a mile and a half, they made their move, and one guy crept up and started half wheeling without a word of greeting or acknowledgement. I said, “And a pleasant good morning to you too and you’re welcome,” to which he replied with some mumbling I didn’t make out. At that point, I am ashamed to say, I told him to **** off, and sped up. They dropped back on the clear evidence that I was an irritable and potentially dangerous character and, inevitably, passed me on the next hill.

Timing:
My regular doc is on vacation and is being replaced by the cute one. I got to sit across the desk from her again today and I continue to be enchanted. Blood work tomorrow and a stress test next week means I will get to do it yet again.

I have a pocket knife that's pretty much dedicated to that. It's taken me years, but I've got my wife calling it "the shank." As in, "Honey - where's the shank? An Amazon box just arrived." I bought it almost 20 years ago, and it's evidently pretty decent - I don't recall what I paid for it, but they go for $120+ these days.

I rolled gift cards today and got $87 worth of formula for $45, and walked away with another $20 gift card.
I like that....

Happy 4th y'all.
I'll be celebrating in the fashion of the day - quick dip in the pool, then a cigar.

Rode to the beach with my son, his wife and the grandkids met us there.
Played in the sand, swam, and ate, all around fun day!
