Shit Sleep, Spokane Bike Swap, 23.85 Mile Ride, Grilling - Saturday

Really shitty night with the first dream I have had in many years. I'm not used to it in any way and combined with having seen Art and my reaction to his situation being opposite what I expected my head was a mess. I HATE dreams!!! They do nothing but cause my sleep to be absolute garbage.

The dewalt battery holder printed off and the batteries fit it right.

Headed to the fairgrounds and found a much better bike for @stryeyz. This one has really easy shifters and just required I hack a couple inches off the seat post to make it fit right.

Did a tune up on it once home and got the derailleurs working smooth, seat post cut, lubed, and tires aired up. It rides quite nice and ready for her to use much more often than her old one.

The robin bolted her nest when I walked near but she lands in the chokecherries nearby and then gives the stink-eye until past. I managed an ok picture.

Utd miracled themselves to a win over Chelsea.

We all headed out on a ride up to the lake and back towards home.

The rest headed for home and I kept going for another hour and 15 miles.

Rode a couple sections of road I have not been on before or only once.

Shy of 24 miles but it put me over 600 for the year so far. No clue if I will be able to continue my push towards my goal at this point.

Got steaks out and then grilled for dinner. Boys watched the new Mario movie.

Another pure garbage night of sleep with another fucking dream and my shoulder feels like I have a vice squeezing the muscles. I am going to North 40 this morning to stand in line for opening so I can get a new battery for my truck so I can get back to troubleshooting it. My body is feeling like pure shit this morning so ibuprofen and muscle relaxers will be my best friends today. Might have a quick job today as well it looks like.

You can and will keep moving towards your biking mileage goals! You just also need to learn how to not lose sight of other areas of life while you do it. Which you're capable of, if you choose it... You choose how you spend your time and efforts.
