I wish I had known you back in the day when I had to put my 77 Celica to sleep.

Just did my fake group ride. There were 2 groups, I rode with the 2w/Kg group which suits me fine. Most of my friends were brave enough to have their video on for the Zoom event. The banter and company made the 2 hours go quickly.
Fake miles better than no miles.

Well that "run" sucked. Getting to rebuild from zero is painful. At least I didn't try to push all the way to 6.

The Mrs is tapping her toe in Atlanta airport. Her 8:00 flight became a 12;22 flight became a 1;06 flight. Isn't air travel fun!? She might now make it home before midnight. Or not.
Last time I flew home from DC, I was there for a 6:30 flight. I finally left at 4 and made it only as far as Dallas. I need to start psyching myself for my upcoming flight, in June. I don't think there will be many more, after that one.

So, because Dory is too light to work the dog flap on the screen door, and Rango bumped his butt going through it and won't even try anymore, we often prop open the screen door open for long periods. We won't be able to do that Back East!

The monthly C&V ride got washed out today. Nobody wants to take their pretty bike out in the slop. I guess it's Zwift for me! That race the other day was fun, notwithstanding having stupidly burned all my matches before the final sprint and only managing 438w average for 13 seconds.

Ugh. We’re flying during the holidays to see my folks in FL with a toddler. I might as well start drinking now.
I also am heading out tomorrow evening to Vegas for a conference and am taking the red eye back a few days later. Actually, I will start drinking now….

These days I prefer to fly on private jets. Unfortunately, that’s not an option.

My back doesn’t like a drive of much longer than three hours these days, so other than to see the kids we fly. At a minimum, I’m looking for exit row seats, regardless of time in the sky. For longer flights, I’m looking for first class. It’s amazing how many times you can find that for just a little more than a coach ticket.
