Flanders, PDC, 10.1 Mile Ride With Boys, Charger, The ICK, Fire, Grilling, 3DP - Sunday

UGH! This ick sucks sooooo bad. My head is a faucet of blech and it feels like utter shit. I am eating Vit C like mad and downing jugs of hot tea trying to break it up and force the deluge to try and remove the awfulness.

Shit sleep means I have been up early enough to see the EU stuff. The Flanders race was weird. Serious rules zealots regarding the train crossing made for interesting times early race. Pogacar easily won and even Lance Armstrong is calling him the best rider ever.

The Eagle squeaked out the win which he just did again this morning. A few wonderful upsets like MVG losing to Springer.

It was noonish when we went out for a ride. @stryeyz managed about 5 miles before she felt like heading back home. The boys and I continued on to the lake for a round.

Then south through the neighborhood and over to Perry to ride down the hill. I realized mid ride that I hadn't worked on R's bike so once back home I made sure to get the chain lubed and the derailleur straightened out. It rides tons better and is quiet again.

Nice mellow 10 miles in an hour. Lol, I had a chance this time to stop for a couple e-cigs that I have seen for weeks as I am always going too fast past them to stop. Turns out they are wax pens and one is almost full still.

New charger for my Dewalt batteries arrived which will charge all the LiPo packs I have. I'm going to do a slight mod to the 20v packs to be able to use in my new saw. Just trim a tiny tab on the pack and it should slide into the saw fine.

It was great to see GVV get spanked, he was not pleased with his performance where-as I laughed. I've not been a fan of his form ever. There's a floppy flatness to his throw that I have never liked.

Managed to get the burn pile going thanks to an infusion of dry needles and pine cones. Gave it enough heat to get the wood actually burning this time.

Also built fire in pit to grill steaks on for dinner. By this point my head was TRASHED from all the smoke which had my sinuses, throat, and ear canals feeling like pure shit. I managed to get the steaks grilled and we ate on the porch. I had tightened up the table and got the umbrella installed earlier.

I managed to get the Heltec V4 programmed with Meshtastic finally and so printed out a case fro it. I tried to get the welder working but the battery needed charging so I will tack the two 18650s together today and get it assembled.

The soak helped with the head drain but is hard to have accelerated right before going to bed.

Look at that, I'm 2/5 of the way to my 1k mile goal and it is only the start of April.

Today I have to try and get myself less sick and I am eating tons more Vit C, NAC, Guaif, Vit A, and HOT tea. My head is draining like a faucet which is a good thing as it gets the shit out of me...

Will try to get the burn pile to finish, get a ride of some kind in, hopefully work in the garden finally, watch the PDC finals, assemble the Mesh device, and then come up with dinner this evening.

Very nice Dewalt charger, my friend!👍😊. That’s definitely handy to have to charge up the battery packs.
Feel better, my friend!
