I've been on another anti clotting medication since Jan 23, 2021.
I think for me it will be easier to avoid all high vitamin K foods rather than try to keep track of what I eat. My life is way to effing complicated now for that BS.

I don't watch the Oscars or hit people.

I do look at my wife and say to myself that she "looks so fine" quite often. Frequently to her as well. I expect most men who are happily married do much the same.

I was not making a joke at your wife's expense.

25 isn’t bad. The initial brain freeze sucks but after 5 mins that goes away.

What is bad is having to go out in 25 degrees after you thought winter was over. I couldn’t bring myself to do it yesterday.

One simply does not just dive into 20 degree riding temperature. It’s a slow build, starts usually around October.

Soon 35 degrees feels like 70 degrees and 20 degrees doesn’t feel so bad. You can’t go from 60 to 20. Not natural. isn’t right, isn’t fair, isn’t pleasant, won’t do it.


My head is so far out of the game this week. All I want to do is ride my bike, but the second I get on my bike I want to get off my bike. It’s a vicious cycle with no happy ending.

The pain in my lower back/ side came back. So there is that, and I have an over all sense of just tiredness. Maybe I’m finally crashing from that mountain dew I drank when I was 12.

I've been itching to get in a ride around/through Lake Minnetonka. Maybe I'll have the weather this weekend.

The big boats on Superior are fun. IIRC, you should be able to access the live feed of the camera at the Maritime Visitor Center at Canal Park in Duluth, right next to the lift bridge. Before my FIL passed, when we'd visit, we'd sometimes call him and have him patch in while the kids waved.

Like berserker hard effort type things. I was seeing a Dr. And a Chiropracter for a while. Both thought it was Siatica. One winter I started doing planks, push-ups, and sit ups, followed by some different stretches. I found by process of elimination that the "bend over touch your toes" stretch, 3 or 4 times a day , a couple minutes at a time basicly cured me. Now I just do it in the shower in the mornjng.

If you have, you've settled for fine. :D

Gluteus medius? Pain in the lower back along the hip crest, extending through the butt cheek to the trochanter? I had that back in fall of 2019. I was riding the Bianchi with its original FSA crank. I THINK it was the wide Q-factor, because around that time I upgraded the Ritchey to 10 speeds and started riding it instead. It's got the 7410 Dura Ace crank with one of the narrowest Q-factors available, and the problem resolved pretty quickly.
