egg drop soup?
It's a fireplace. Admittedly unimpressive but I was tight on time.

On the mountain bike to Carlton reserve and some singletrack. It's about 10 miles of road to get there. Heading north, I notice an old lady passing me slowly - only one lane with another car behind her. She has her right turn signal on and a right turn is just ahead. I've seen this movie before and it usually ends with a right hook. I slowed, figuring either she didn't see me or thinks she has the right of way to turn and cut me off. To my great surprise, she stopped and waved me thru.
Anywho, in the reserve (btw many more people out there, this is a county park so still open) I stopped for a selfie:
About 30 seconds after this pic, I hear a loud crack and a pine tree branch falls right onto a picnic table where I put my backpack. It wouldn't have killed me if I was sitting there and didn't get out of the way in time, but it would've hurt:
At the end of the singletrack, I popped out on the gravel powerline path and noticed flashing lights and lots of smoke to the east. Checked it out, a prescribed burn was going on:
It is super dry here, hasn't rained in a month, which is why I am getting so many road flats - no rain to wash the glass and metal bits off the side of the road. Also the gators are consolidating in the remaining pools of water - saw 3 big ones in about a 2 mile stretch - this was the biggest:

Morning walk with the pup
Afternoon ride with Mrs Manic
I didn’t realize I was building the perfect bike for the apocalypse, but that is what I did.
Happy to be away from the screen for a little bit.
I wasn’t looking too good but I was feeling real well

Wow. Love AV stuff but some people just have way too much money.
Do an hour, even better.

Stayed indoors until the rain went away
Mrs Oleg playing with pottery.
I added more stuff to new Downhill Bike. Need to cut carbon seatpost tomorrow.
Made Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Curry.
Went out on a Tandem with Mrs Oleg. On the way back 2 miles from home my seatpost broke. Now I have no saddle and Mrs Oleg has no handlebars. I rode home solo and got the truck to rescue the stranded party.
Fixed the tandem, had to use beer can shims on new seatpost.

1. Buy tandem bike
2. Gain lots of weight
3. Keep going on the above point
4. Sit on saddle heavily, repeatedly

I wanted to go outside today
where sometimes i do play
It wasn't in the cards for me
from early i could see
The news of gloom was in the room
yet stuck behind a screen
I hope we can all keep it there
at least for our families.
The teenage boy who always plays
in virtual rooms did say
I want to go and see my friend today
we let him find his way
For me i was in technical limbo
not on this site you know
I'm working with an artist who
has equipment from eons ago
I explain the difference between save and publish
this seems to ring a bell
Yet getting the files from there to here
is more than a finger fell
I don't know what i'm going to do
this week is half way by
Tomorrow brings another day
to ride my bike, i'll try
