My 10 years younger than me riding friend thinks I should be able to build back to the rides I did in the past. Today he found an old e-mail where I was asking people to join on a big climbing ride, so he sent it to me. Prick.
The route is up Hwy 39, 5000 feet in the first 25 miles. Here is his ex wife waiting for me some years ago.

Seafood is our other big choice. I could eat fish just about every day. I really like Spanish style fish dishes.
We went to a little joint in our town's "historic downtown" and had tacos for lunch Tuesday. Tacos are $1.99 each, and three fills me up. They make really good breakfast tacos. Total lunch bill for 2 with a tip was less than $12.00.

Car question......my daughter drives a 2010 Corolla. She is complaining that there is a "leak" of "stinky water" on the floor/carpet of her car. She said it was bad yesterday when it was quite hot and she drove a long distance.
I am 99% sure it's condensation from the A/C somehow getting into the cabin, but not quite sure how to trace this. Suggestions??
edit: I think this is a good plan....yes?

This map includes a jaunt out to the grocery store and back::
Dashboard · Ride with GPS
That first little climb at around mile 4.8 doesn't look like much on paper, but both times I rode it it pissed me off. I think it's because it comes as a chock after the first 4.8 miles. And when you are looking up the road, it does not look as steep as it is.

I can eat fish for every meal other than breakfast… in Hawaii.

Yes, you'll have to unclog that drain hose. I'd give it a shot since there is nothing to lose.

I love fish. Growing up, Dad and Mom would have fish pretty frequently. But apparently The Boys are allergic, somehow, so no fish for Mr. and Mrs. GeneJockey unless we eat out - and we don't eat out anymore, what with COVID and all.

My son, the fellow car geek, just texted me to tell me that the guy in his office building that normally drives either a Lamborghini Urus or Lamborghini Aventador showed up in a Ferrari SF-90.
For the thrifty among us, that is a paltry $2 million (roughly) for three cars.

Funny thing is, the smell didn't much bother me because I worked closely with him and he smoked, so I was very used to it. Nowadays, even with my lousy sniffer, it would bother me. It would REALLY bother Mrs. GeneJockey.

Years ago, my old boss traded me his 1st generation Acura Legend. It was a nice car, but all its life when he parked it at home, it was under a tree that dropped stuff. One day I came out to get in it and the rear footwell was awash. Turns out the sunroof drain tubes were clogged with that stuff. We paid to have it detailed, which also got rid of the cigarette smoke smell.
Funny thing is, the smell didn't much bother me because I worked closely with him and he smoked, so I was very used to it. Nowadays, even with my lousy sniffer, it would bother me. It would REALLY bother Mrs. GeneJockey.

Maybe Fate was simply providing you with a tool you didn't know you needed yet.

I am 99% sure it's condensation from the A/C somehow getting into the cabin, but not quite sure how to trace this. Suggestions??

We had customers complain about the water on the ground numerous times. Most of them accept it when told it's just condensation but one woman said it was too much water and something must be wrong.
There was a Buick where the evaporator case wouldn't drain completely and mold would grow and stink. The factory solution was to install a relay to run the blower fan to dry things after the car was turned off. It was called an "after blow" relay.
