Now
- What I’ve been doing: riding my bike, cleaning up the backyard (wow this is the same as last year)
- What I’m reading: Us Against You - Fredrik Backman; just finished Hail Mary by Andy Weir
- What I’m watching: mostly Youtube videos about cycling (Duzer), camping (SUVRVing), travel; my wife started watching Grey’s Anatomy so…that too
- What I’m thinking about: an overnight bike trip, college for our son, school starting soon
- What I’m drinking: iced vanilla latte (my go to coffee drink)
- What else is happening?
- 4 day summer workweeks (Mon-Thurs, closed Fridays)
- whether we have enough $ saved up to help with college, money in general
- Friday breakfast tour
- really enjoying using my new MacBook Air M4, it blows away my old Intel MBA from 2020
Biking milestones:
- longest trip: 17+ miles - Home to Course Coffee in Frenchtown on the Katy Trail
- 75 miles as of today (8/5), roughly the same as last year - which is good (I thought with all the heat in July I’d be further behind) and bad (my goal is 400 miles this year, so a ways to go)
