no, but curiously I just finished ironing tomorrow's pants and shirt.
On a side note, I go to the cardiologist tomorrow for my anticoagulant monitoring. I hope to get an at home finger stick test kit. I'm going to look like a smack junkie if they keep tapping my veins every week. SM*H
At least I have my weather app with its superior accuracy to bring some sunshine into my otherwise s****y life.

You know what makes sleeping in an airport even more satisfying? Sharing the room with a snorer.

Just got a notice that my wife's Trek Emonda SL-7 has a due date of August 9. It was originally August 5 but had been pushed back to September and now it's been moved forward in the queue again. 
So, the Emondometer is 8/9. Stay tuned...

WhyFi How's the new machine coming along? Is your bicep on your pull arm getting bigger yet? If not, you need to drink more espresso.

Haven't checked my right arm size/strength, but maybe I should alternate left and right to be proactive
The only thing that's a downgrade from the old machine is the drip tray size. It's still fine for at least two day's use, but the old one was massive. The smaller tray actually motivated me to pick up the drainage bits when I was at Home Depot yesterday, though. If I have time, I might try to get that installed today.
I'm also still waiting on my reward points to 'mature' with the vendor from whom I purchased the machine; there's a 30-day pending period. Once the points are available, it'll knock 60 bucks off of a filtration system and I'll get the machine plumbed in. At that point, the pump won't ever need to buzz again and draining/filling will be a thing of the past - blissful!

When I rode across the U.S. with 12 other people there were 3 bad snorers and another guy who was off and on. We discovered this on the first night. Tents provide very little sound insulation. By maybe the third day we adopted a segregation rule. Snorers had to pitch as far away from the non-snorers as reasonably possible. The snorers were all slower riders, which meant the non-snorers usually got the best spots at campgrounds. When we got rooms in hostels or motels, there was always snorer's room.
