Now that you mention it, the dust could be the reason I had such a hard time earlier in the week. 15 miles just killed ne for the day. I haven't been out since, in part due to poor sleep

I don't think we're gonna get any African dust over here, but there's a little bit of wildfire smoke in the air.

Got in a nice metric on the new wheels. They're nice.
Also, until ol' datlas uploads his ride, I'm atop the 'board.

You have such lovely places to ride. You did in Wyoming too.

I finished dishing and re-truing that wheel. It might be the straightest wheel I've ever built. Only the dial indicator method would be an improvement. And I am not going there. Then I trued another wheel, that will go on a bike I'll shortly be giving away. Again, straight and true. A Ukai rim. Who remembers those? Quite heavy. And quite wide. And 27".

The rjones28 turf management regimen for the main lawn is comprised of four cutting patterns; north-south, northwest-southeast, east-west, northeast-southwest.

The back lawn is also comprised of three different species, and I wonder if I should be encouraging one or more or eradicating one or more.

Come on! Everyone knows you find a high school kid to do it for $20-25, while you’re out riding. Not even a question .

CBS has ladies soccer on. No crowd, but they're sweetening the audio with crowd sounds from a pre-covid game.

when I was flying bush up in Alaska there was a bunch of black bears on this persons front porch. Using my plane I encouraged them to run away.

As of yesterday we are inundated with the annual tabano infestation. Tabanos are somewhat smaller than horseflies, and green. They bite before you know they are there. Not pleasant. They are the reason we finally screened the open half of the roof, a summer or two ago. They'll be around for four to six weeks. There are clouds of them out there today.
