We drove two hours south for a seed fair this morning. All three of us remarked at how green everything is. Normally everything is brown and toasted at the beginning of May. Year without a dry season. Rain begins in earnest the middle of June.

I’ve got one in my front yard and about six of them directly across the street, blooming currently.

oof, i wish this flu was over. day five and I'm only a bit better. it's like been hit by a semi truck. i'm not sure what is more annoying the constant muscle aches in my shoulder and back or very sore and constricted throat that makes swallowing anything even tepid water hard. I'd be sure it was the rona except all the self administered RATs have come back negative. Time to call my doctor tomorrow and see if they want to come get a PCR test.
my achievements for the weekend were: getting dressed, luxing the lounge floor and doing a 900m walk around the block. the last two absolutely knackered me out.

2 great rides this weekend 50 on Saturday. Had a couple of nice 27mph pulls, that surprised me.
Today's ride was great. I had a blast even though I felt like absolute poo. I don't know what I ate yesterday but it did not sit well with me today. My guts were churning the entire ride. Plus I'm still dealing with this neck/shoulder thing. I still managed to apply some respectable pressure upon the other riders. I hit 34 mph in the first sprint and was just gone. So I went early, sue me. Lol. I love this ride. It's only 44 miles but they really pack in the work. I'm sore big time.

decided to go for the PCR. I hope I don't have to do many more of them. Felt like they were trying to extract my brain though my nose. I have few enough brain cells to spare for repeated testing.

Regardless, horse riding is in my DNA. My niece has been in contests and stuff. She has issues.

Someone should make that app, but nope, a friend from Nevada posted about some snow activity at her home, so I thought I'd check some of the nearby weather stations.
Of course the worst weather for me would be 99°, 90% humidity, calm wind.
Second place bad weather is 30° - 40° and raining/snowing.
