Happy May And How Long Ago Was March ? Or April ?!?

You Say The Hill's Too Steep To Climb , Chiding 

You Say You'd Like To See Me Try Climbing 

You Pick The Place And I'll Choose The Time 

And I'll Climb The Hill In My Own Way 

Just Wait Awhile For The Right Day

And As I Rise Above The Tree Line And The Clouds 

I Look Down , Hear The Sound Of Things You Said Today 

Fearlessly , The Idiot Faced The Crowd , Smiling 

Merciless , The Magistrate Turns Around , Frowning 

And Who's The Fool Who Wears The Crown?



Pink Floyd

Meddle 1971 


WORKING:

Yup , still working my life away. Feeling like a million bucks these days and yet I don't have a dime to my name. Actually , I found a penny heads up and a nickel on the Main Street the other day. So I got that going for me , still doesn't equal a dime to my name. Classic 


Worked over a client that is about to go under the knife. During our previous Neuromuscular session , was informed of this upcoming procedure. So I explained the benefits of a lymphatic drainage massage. Your lymph nodes contains white T cells , they filter our interstitial fluids , they are the defense system really , and are directly responsible for our immune system. Life  


Now , I have never personally spoke with a cosmetic Doc here , but I heard that plastic surgeons in California request/expect their patients to receive a Lymph Drainage before their face lift , liposuction , or any other augmentation. Removing "toxins" a few days before a procedure aids in quicker recovery and minimizes scaring. So The Story Rides

BIKE NIGHT:

Friday Night Bike Night was massive and arguably the largest turn out of 2025. The Dude counted off just over hundred and then we were joined by another three or possibly four groups as we took flight. Maybe 150??? Maybe?? Muller?? Maybe ?? 

And I would guesstimate that about 40% of the group dressed in 1970's theme as well. Another 60% actually added lights and general accessories to their bikes. And doggie backpacks are really a thang nowadays. Way Cool


Of course there were cats!! Yes , two cats to be exact. One lady rode with her cat in the front basket and that cat was stoked. Another lady had her cat in the small child buggy attached to the back of her bike. Super Cool


I'm telling ya , bike night is more than a simple bike ride. Bike Night is more than an event. Bike Night is a communal socializing gathering !! Nothing quite like slowly navigating through residential streets while chatting away with like minded individuals. Bike Night is not a pick up hub. Bike Night is not a who's who. Bike Night is not about spending tons of money in order to be seen. Bike Night is a celebration for finishing the working week. A Common Denominator 

INDY 500:

The Indy was a bust for me. Seriously. It bothers me to think this but my Indy traditions might be something of the past. oof , that hurt to type. OOF , that actually hurt to read as well. Just how Phuc'N old am I these days?? 

The intro of the drivers lost its merit in my eyes. The flyover of 4 F16's was uneventful to say the least. And the damn "race" was delayed due to sprinkles. The pre-race warm up lap , it happens , Scott MaLaughlin crashed out. Yup , crashed out before the green flag as his car got away from him while he was added heat into the tires along the straightaway. After an hour of wasted time and only about four laps on the books , called The Dude to see if he was up for throwing some disc. Good Call

After we threw a successful round , caught the end of the race to witness the first spaniard ever win the 2025 Indy 500. So in closing , waited for the "rain" delay , played a round of disc , and caught the finisher. Guess it all worked out just fine. I Guess 


But I will gladly toot about enjoying these two days off in a row for the first time since March Vegas Madness. Yup , two whole days off in a row. Would have been delightful to share a nap but my happy A$$ knocked out chores , threw some plastic , rode my bikes , and played with dogs. Cant Complain 

Think Of Others First,

Cheers

  1. Bike night sounds like lots of fun and enjoyment. I had some friends who loved to watch car racing and would sit and watch the race on cable back in the 90s. Have a great week, Padre.

  4. A friend from Perth sent me this when I told her I found a penny: "Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck" - hope that worked for you!
    I so do not want to be a doctor!
    Cool car and a cute fox. And 70´s theme - thumbs up high. Those were the best times.
    As my FIL says: Get old or die... We have end of May.... just saying... more time off!
    Yah, same. Was complaining about the short time for this unit, thinking how young people handle the studies who have no experience in this.
    But then... their brains are more fresh, cheers to that!
