today's office view

need some aloe

normally, i do my long rides in the morning, so i don't think to put sunscreen on. i was busy this morning, but i didn't remember to hit the sunscreen before heading out for 3 hours in the afternoon sun. sooooo warm right now... radiating (butnotinagoodway).

a study in benches

tar and dirt training ride

turned the pedals a lot on my 32x16 today.

what's the secret password?

"meow?"

"nope, but good try."

"catsRuleDogsDrool?"

"IN!"

"Ugh... some days I really wish I had a litter box."

tulips on the windowsill

if it's not raining too hard

you can still get some burning in.

just riding along

got to play pretend-a-courier on friday when I rode into downtown to pick up our new parking passes for the ReachLocal minneapolis developers, so i took a few sightseeing pictures. "wish you were here!?"

campfire under crescent moon

if you're missing abrasive, call the gubna

holy heck! the oskar blues folks have an awesome imperial IPA in their kinda-spendy-but-i-had-to-try-it "gubna." a 4pk of 12oz cans for about the same price as abrasive (bigger cans!), it's spendy but worth splurging on for something special.

there's a high enough specific gravity that it's almost chewy. it's malty, for sure, but it finishes citrusy without the hops punching you in the face.

mmm... what was i doing, again? oh, yeah... time to get back to making dinner.
