It’s ok, I have a new hernia surgery date next Friday and a couple important loose ends to tie up before that, so I’m focused. Thanks for your concern.

Fingers and toes crossed. I’ll share the full story once this is all over.

What are you guys doing for the fourth?
Were having family over and a family that recently move for missouri for burgers, hot dogs, sausages, deviled eggs, italian pasta salad, cole slaw, cake, ice cream, and smores.
Was hoping to take Amelia to see fire works, but finding Parking would be an issue, and her bed time is 8 so trying to keep her awake til 9 is dangerous to my sanity.
We bought some noise makers, but you can’t even find sparklers here anymore. I was shocked that you can’t buy them.

Heading North to a rental house with a dock in Eagle River WI with my wife and my parents. Brother was supposed to come but he's in Dallas and didn't feel comfortable traveling with the recent COVID spike.
It will be the first time I bring a bike on vacation with me, I'm pretty excited to ride somewhere new.
I've got a bunch of bottle rockets and black cats that I'm always too askeered to set off. Plus I don't really like how aerial fireworks end up spreading so much debris.

I agree. Worth repeating.
As a rider that's almost been clobbered by more than one of those people, I see no reason to be kind. They also tend to ride with no lights, because of the Darwin gene they posses.

A short climbing ride in the morning with one friend, the same woman I went mountain biking with last week. We'll probably do 50 miles but with options to add to it. I'm the limiter, she can climb like it's no big deal.
I was invited to a wedding/ 4th party with people from all over. I'd love to see them but I'll probably pass.

Were going to the obx later this month, and I want to brink my bike. I’m just scared about putting a carbon bike on my rack, I feel like it will be damaged.

Was at an Aldis today and signs on the door stated mask required and no personal grocery bags allowed. I estimated about 35% without masks and another 10-15% with masks either over mouth only or on just the chin. Reusable sacks were still being used by many patrons.
My wife told me to mind my own business until I pointed out the lady picking her nose over the produce.![lol](images/smilies/lol.gif)
We're doomed...

My MTB has a drastically sloping top tube and my wife's bike is a mixte with double top tubes so I'm not terribly confident on the attachment mechanism for the hitch mount rack. And my Trek is fendered and has had a lot of work done to it - it would be absolutely heartbreaking if it got damaged in any way.
It's about a 5 hour drive one-way. Maybe I'm being paranoid.
