I had some bad cases that had been going on since 2019 finally get dismissed the beginning of the summer. The last one got dismissed the Thursday before trial as the 60 jury questionnaires were being uploaded to the court file. I'm not taking those cases anymore, regardless of money. I basically took the summer off and did lots of camping.
Now I only take nice clients with cases I like.

Lose the bread, bro. That English muffin is not your friend. Bread = carbs = sugar.

I only managed to get on my bike once this weekend for a quick SS MTB ride. However, I did get to watch my daughter play her first softball tournament of the fall season with her 18U team. She was on FIRE at the plate. Over 4 games, she went 6-for-9 with 2 home runs and 4 doubles, and lead her team in RBIs (7) and runs scored (5). Unfortunately, the team struggled defensively, with uncharacteristic errors by talented players, and handed wins to the 2 teams that made it to the championship.
We had a game today but I couldn’t play without my new eyeglasses so I stayed away. I think they lost, I haven’t gotten any texts.

After that I carried extra layers when climbing in cold weather. I sweat so much when climbing even in the 30s so I'm always soaking wet when the descents come after a long climb.

My coldest day was a mountain bike ride up a rough 8 mile climb. It started out sunny but chilly, I had shorts and short sleeve jersey and no extra layers, but climbing makes you warm, so i went up several miles until the clouds came in and the temp dropped and it started snowing. Nothing quite like being wet and descending in the cold. Hypothermic at the bottom and I was sick for a couple weeks.
After that I carried extra layers when climbing in cold weather. I sweat so much when climbing even in the 30s so I'm always soaking wet when the descents come after a long climb.

Is bunting a thing at all in slow-pitch? For fastpitch, it's an important part of the game.

When I was about to head out to Sonoma to pick up the Centurion Ironman, Mrs. GeneJockey said, "How are you going to pay for it?" (meaning what method),
I said the seller wanted cash but would take PayPal. She said, "That much cash?"
I said, "It's only $300."
She said, "OH!" She thought it was a lot more. So I told her that the blue Lotus was $150 and the red Lotus was $175. She said, "That's cheaper than some of your watches!"
So, apart from the space considerations, I think she's feeling a lot better about my purchasing old bikes. If I'd known she thought I was spending so much, maybe I'd have spent more! There was that $1000 Litespeed last month..........

Money-wise, maybe. Space-wise, I'm running out of places to put bikes. The only reason there's room for the Ironman is because the Bianchi is still in the shop.

My wife has been on me about stretching for years. I know more about me, of course.
We were doing situational drills last spring and I was running the bases. Sprint, stop, sprint, stop. All of a sudden things felt weird in my right quad and right knee with the torn PCL. The next day I couldn't walk and that mess continued until a few weeks ago. MRI and physical therapy and now I can bend my right knee enough to ride a bike. Getting old sucks.
