There we are actually surrounded by those things, being in one of the last tracts nearby where you can buy a tear-down for 800 K (the folks next door paid about 400). That invites people who want a giant house in the inner burbs and can't afford architecture.

Is that semi-circle portion a closet on the inside?

Had my physical yesterday. 45 resting heart rate got the nurse all worked up. I am 12 pounds lighter than last year.

Since we haven't watched one in decades, the only way we could move the needle would be to watch it.

Probably. A low heart rate can be a sign of heart block or a dysfunctional sinus node. In a non-athlete, that can be a problem that is typically solved with a pacemaker. In an endurance athlete it's a non-issue, of course.

That hadn't crossed my mind but it's got to be partially responsible.

I walked an average of 15 miles a day as a mailman. My heart rate was in the 40's. Went to the cardiologist when my daughter heard my heart "skip" a beat. They said my, in my words, electrical system wasn't functioning correctly and gave me a pacemaker. Worse thing that ever happened to my cycling. Now my heart reacts almost opposite of my needs. Speeds up sometimes for nothing, and if I'm really riding hard, starts to slow down. I've finally come to terms with it and just ride my bike for enjoyment by myself.
edit: Well, maybe not the worst thing. I had a mild Covid case when it came out, and lost half my strength and endurance and it never came back.

For a long time, I just rode around and didn't really push it. Recently I did the whole Tour de Zwift and there was a notable increase in my fitness as shown by Zwift's FTP calculation. I suppose I just need to try harder to get my fitness back. Could be Covid or maybe just getting old.

That's good to know, since my RHR is in the low 40s.
