Did you ride a time machine back to 2005? Lol. I didn't realize that service still existed.

They still have a lot more movies on DVD than streaming.

Man, our yard needs work. Maybe this weekend we’ll dig in.

Kids and I got out for a bit after dinner.

I tried @MissJR recipe, with a couple mods, but Tino Martinez only got this far:

Happy Thursday!

We were all waiting for mom to get home.

Yesterday she made peanut butter chocolate chip with walnut brownies.

Why were we waiting you say, because these are like crack and she has to hide them. Anyone one of us including me would overdose without hesitation.

I thought about doing a @Norm styled video on my ride but decide better of making a selfie video while riding.

Nothing exciting to report. Just two long walks around town. Morristown is pretty quiet.
P.S. outside with the cat now. I think he's already sick and tired of us being home all day.

“I have a conference call.” I said. “Go play outside and don’t do anything crazy.” I said. “Make sure to stay out of the neighbor’s yard.” I said.



“Y’know this is all your fault.” my wife said

POST OF THE DAY!!! ?

Planned 50 miles. Got 40. Went something like this.

• Last night successful negotiation with wife to ride for 3.5 hours. She even said go later it will Be warmer. Winning.
• Left at 12pm. Mile 9 got a flat.
• Change tube noticed tire is shredded. Lack of maintenance on my part plus the big rock I hit.
• Locate hole and cover with temporary boot aka duct tape strips which i keep in my saddle bag.
• Can’t remount tire. Struggle for 15 minutes and finally get tire back on.
• Inflate with CO2. Hear dreaded sound of hissing. New tube is Fkd.
• Phone call of shame ? NO! Thanks to Coronavirus middle son is home. Have him locate spare wheel and floor pump and drive to me (only 4 miles from home directly )
• Wheel swap successful. Promise kid gets gas money. Finish ride with a few miles less. Everyone’s happy.

I was definitely channeling @rick81721 when I couldn’t get that tire back on. Never had that issue before have to figure it out when I order new tires. A bit self inflicted tho I should have gotten new tires much sooner.

Still a great day to ride.

So, I went up to Great Falls in Paterson and then Little Falls. I stopped at Garrett Mountain, one of my favorite little loops and it was like the mall at Christmas Time. There were a ton of people. These idiots are going to make them close parks. Though, it was safer to ride on the road since there are so few cars.

Liked for not blurring out license plate. And Making it home W/O tipping off the wiffer.

 

[Captain Brainstorm]

Like this one. Getting ready for trout!

Nice! I’ve been doing the same thing, I set out a bunch of small targets in the yard to hit. If I may offer a slight adjustment, end your presentation cast at 11 o’clock instead of dropping to parallel. This allows your line to unfurl and fall gently to the water, and also gives you the flexibility to throw in a mend or reach if your casting to a fish holding behind some swirly currents. Even on days when my casting is a hot mess, doing this still lets me get a good line on the water.

Yeah sons car and anyway the license plate blur thing I don’t get either.

He told her when he got home what Happened before I got back and that I was gonna continue riding. She certainly was NOT gonna bring me a wheel and the pump just the guilt ride home. Now I owe him big time but it’s all worth it.

Had to go back into the danger zone today. Even fewer people this time. Here’s the approach to the tunnel on 11th at 5:30pm. On a normal day this gets so backed up it can take an hour to go two blocks:

I made it home just in time to get a lap in at LewMo without needing lights. The trails were excellent (for Lewmo standards).

Stephens. When you grow up in the northeast open sky is something of a novelty.
