ROMANTICS 

December 1979 

RANDOMNESS:

I recently became aware of STRAVA's changes that apply to us that do not pay monthly. Such as, I was able to click on TRAINING to see my weekly uploads. I could clearly see my snowshoe adventures, my cycling miles or hours, or uploaded trail runs. 

Now I get it, a subscription is pennies on the dollar. However, it used to be free!! If I was training for an event, I would be so bummed about this. Today, its just another technology update to deal with. Oh Well

Other random thoughts, I literally can't stand emoji responses. I have a client that asked me for non body work advice. After a little research to make sure I was on my game, sent back a thoughtfully worded text. They responded with the happy face wearing sunglasses emoji. There is a time and place for mediocre emoji inputs but I personally find them rather repulsive. I know, cry me a river. You all have every right to comment below with the letter K or an emoji. Set Myself Up On That One 

And then there are these two rambunctious little ones to free my mind of penurious emoji sending behaviors.

                                               So Full Of Life

  All the toys in the world and wood splinters from the fireplace are the game of choice 

                                                          So Cute

            After a bowl of tuna juice , the ritual cleaning of the paws begins 

Just how nice would it be to be a kitten in a house full of love?? To be a kitty kitty in a house full of empty cardboard boxes?? Or to be a kitty cat with an indoor jungle gym like this one?? Like Sign Me Up 

DISC GOLF:

Been throwing well as of lately. Somedays, most days, my putts are fairly piss poor. But damn I enjoy tossing plastic in the afternoon. Its Free, Very Rarely Keep Score, And The Camaraderie Is Uncanny 

Heading down to Watson Island to throw a round, whats this. I could see the off color smoke as I approached and was thinking that someone was burn some weird Sh*T in their fireplace. As I approached the alley, the pops / crackles were pretty loud, thinking someone was burning green waste in their backyard. So I rode down the alley I came across this plastic green city trash can melting. Always Something 

CYCLING:

Solid week back on the bike and collecting miles on the River Trail. Haven't been hammering out miles but enjoying the simple rides just the same. Just casual solo rides without anyone telling me what I did wrong or asking why I say the things I say. At the same time, would enjoy sharing these moments in time with paramount lover. 

In this above photo, beautiful day for a ride, right?!? When I last checked on-line, a balmy 31F / -0.5C at the start of my mini tour around the Grand Valley. Unfortunately, we have almost hit 60F / 15.5 a few time early on during this month of February. 

Why is that bad you ask?? We have cooked the past 4 winter seasons during February and that only jump starts new growth. Those poor buds start popping out blossoms on the early varieties of peaches, apricots, and cherry trees. A March freeze always blows through the valley and completely wipes out our agriculture friends. Last year, wine grapes were also a complete loss because of the warmer temptress waking them from the sleepy dormant slumber.  

So Think Snow. Please, Think Snow!! Been effortlessly riding the River Trail and the wildlife viewing is such a cheap form of entertainment. A head down Bambi in the early morning, a Fox or two scurrying along the under brush, and countless birds in flight are just a few highlights on any given day. Our sunsets have been pretty damn spectacular as well. 11 days into February by the numbers; 18 hours, 212mi / 341km, and 16 Activities. 

SNOWSHOING:

Please, keep thinking snow. Yes, Colorado saw a few flakes recently but so dry. Like Arid Dry 

And its so much better walking in fresh snow. The crunchy sounds under your snowshoes, the wet heavy snow bending the evergreen limbs towards the ground, and the clean fresh air are all byproducts of Mother Natures new blanket. More Of This Please 

SUPERBOWL:

One of the lamest games for sure and I can't even blame the pandemic.

I rode in the AM under beautifully cold Colorado bluebird skies. Haven't mentioned my calisthenics program lately but still on track with that. Started cleaning up after my shower while waiting for the game. Cleaning, another chore that carries merit. I moved a bunch of indoor plants out back for a dusting off and saturated them under the green hose of goodness. Pulled out the vacuum and sucked out all the upper cob webs from this past winter. All the bathroom rugs went into the wash and closely followed by my bed sheets. Love A Clean Pillow Cover 

Used a putty knife and shop vac on the BBQ. Moved the garden hose around to the trees. A nice slow drip at the base of every tree for the rest of the evening. Moving the hose from tree to tree was a pleasant distraction from the game because it was over by mid through the 2nd quarter. And for me, BBQ'n with a fresh cocktail in hand was better than subjecting myself to that pathetic game. 

GOALS:

1. Pick Up The Pace On The Miles Front 
2. Upload Creative Time Lapses 
3. Repeat Hill Climbs On The CO Monument  
4. Research Summer Events Possibilities  
5. Practice Putts And Mid Range Drives
6. Consume MORE H2o
7. Be Nice
8. Play Nice    

Last on the random list, HERE is my one minute piano filled time lapse.
