Exactly the same here, but my dad was/is a weekend napper. I’ll be the same today. Got up at 6:00, and ran out to snap some pics during the golden hour, then did my ride, had lunch and went for a swim, and now set to doze on the couch.
Not many athletic genes in our family.

It's like longevity - yeah, one Great Grandmother lived to be 100! Another died at 64. One grandfather lived to be 93! The other one went at 69.

64 miles on the disk bike. I think I finally figured out my discontent with that bike. The brake levers/hoods aren't even. The right side is higher than the left. Not a lot but enough that after a few seconds on the hoods I'm fighting with the bars. Probably pull it apart tonight, fix it and rewrap the bars. Also got a clickety bottom bracket, musta caught something talking to Bam about maintenance.
Contador has a rear wheel that rubs under load. 25mm tyres might be to big. I need to figure out a way to test for rubbing. Masking tape inside the stays? I know it rubbed with the 4000s. They were oversized. The 5000 are close to 25mm maybe .5mm over but I think its still hitting. Might be why I climb like poo......aside from the obvious I meen. Might have to ho back to 23mm tyres.

What you need to do is look at websites of things you can't even hope to afford. The Officina Battaglin YouTube channel is packed with drool-inducing bikes, but since I can't afford one, I'm not tempted!

I'm considering taking a gig on the wet side of the Cascades, so I should probably think about getting a disc road bike, so I don't have to wash my bike after almost every single ride.
I don't miss returning from rides with wheels looking like this one bit:

Just got done cutting two yards. I’m beat. Highest I saw was 96 but the humidity was killer.
According to fitbit I have 28,300 steps and the night is still young.
LBS had the BB-16 tool not the BB-10. So I passed.
Im gunna make an attempt after dinner but if I can’t get it then my LBS said they would charge me 30.00 bucks to clean it and put it back together.
One last thing I just thought to check. My rear wheel doesn’t have any play when I check it, but I never actually checked to make sure it was tight.
