The bicycle chains I’ve gone through in the last few years. I had planned to throw them out but I think they are due more respect than that. (Taken with Instagram)

The Himalayas,

I have been to some remote places, not Nepal, but I have been to places in Afghanistan where white men had never been seen before, there is a purity in these places, that cant be easily described.

It’s Saturday coffee time. I call this my “Navy” mug, though I got it from a guy in the Coast Guard, and I dont think it was from the ship. I was complaining about thin walled mugs not keeping things hot, and he just showed up with it one day. He said, “you have to ask a guy who stands on the bridge for nine hours with a cup.”

Thanks Mike

Pushbike stuff Embrocations, hydration etc. I seem to be on a grassroots push these days, with Mad Alchemy and Skratch labs, but there’s no way around it just working. Im a long way from being an elite cyclist nowdays so I need all the help I can get.

Starting the morning

It should be 107 degrees today, and the 73rd day over 100 this summer. I figure I need to take advantage of the relative cool before all that hits, so Im enjoying my coffee, and my dog, out here while its only 93.

I feel dehydrated today, but I think its an effect of allergies, and allergy medicine more than really being dehydrated, but my eyes feel dry and puffy, and I absolutely HATE that feeling.
