Anyways I was putting around at 116 watts trying to get home and my heart rate was chilling at the 150 bpm. If I went any slower I would have been going back wards.

I think I'll probably find the next 10 lbs to be harder than the first 30, though.

I have an appointment this afternoon, to get the brakes checked. I doubt it will cost even $10. I always make a point of giving this guy a nice tip.

The awful winds have stopped for now and it's just beautiful out. I cruised around and through the parks just now. Lots of branches down and a few big trees, too. One is about a 50 foot eucalyptus. Sad to see a tree that old go down. Eucalyptus were planted here years ago by farmers/ranchers to help block the wind. Most of them are gone now.
When I was a ute there were orchards of citrus trees all over the area and groves of olive trees. One of the parks near home was once a VA hospital but it was leveled in the 1971 earthquake. There is a section of road there which is lined with olive trees. They end up making a mess on the road.
Where I lived with my parents was adjacent to fields of cabbage and on a warm night the house was inundated with the aroma. It's all filled with houses now

I don't talk about fat.
My wife and I were in a shop this morning and my wife was trying on jerseys and the shop owner asked if I would like to try on one. I just laughed.

The hotel we stayed at in ATL over looked the porsche track. Sitting high in my room, I could tell they were all “doing it wrong”. I wouldn’t have stayed on the track, and a porsche would be sitting in my drive way.

Took my daughter to the Harry Potter Enchanted forest in Leesburg a couple of nights ago. It was pretty amazing, but super cold. I was feeling sick before we got there, and got progressively worse. Today the sinus blockage plus headache was insane. Nothing I did would clear my head. So I officially missed one day of squats. Not sure If I should make it up by doing 200 tomorrow or just add a day to this event. I am hoping I feel well enough to ride tomorrow. 66 miles gets me to 9k.
