HEADSPACE:

Our Friday Night Bike Night Tribe hosted a Yearbook ride. Hints , salute to all the graduates as per the time of year. A very impressive turn out for sure and catching up with folks was a plus as always. Bonus

Obviously this allowed my mind to wonder while we all meandered along the predetermined route. During that time I began wondering about all those friends from the nineteen hundreds. Some people pass through your life and ya wonder what ever happened to them. I wonder if they ever wonder about me? And then there are those that you wish you never had to think about again. It's flipping bizarre , why do I think about this Sh*t?  Why do thoughts like these rent space in my third eye? And how many times do you associate old engrams with musical tunes? The Police , Oingo Boingo , RUSH , Pink Floyd , And BoB 

MUSIC:

Super score last Friday as Kalinderrrrrrrrrs hooked us up with free Trampled by Turtles Tix!!  

I had no idea that TBT have been around since 2004. The temperature was spot on perfect and the old Los C Amphitheater was packed with concert goers. Way Cool 

Once again , my youth , watching all those kids running around in the grass brought back memories. Those summer time moments in time with friends and cousins while the adults did their thang. And a personal highlight was kicking back in my folding chair and observing all the satellites fly on by in every which way direction. Then , when the Space Station passed by , whole new level of a blight object in the night sky canopy of stars above. Like WoW

The following night was another free show during the Mike The Headless Chicken Festival. I am so thankful that I pulled the trigger and caught the free show provided by The Cleverlys. They are incredibly talented and the stories between songs was brilliant. Such as , "Why don't they have bobble heads for sale?" Classic!! Its the Headless Chicken Festival. So many quick witted stories between songs. Top Shelf 

SCARY:

I just cant begin you paint this picture for ya. We are so Phuc'D and we all were well aware that this is exactly what would transpire during our life time. What The Beep Do We Know hit the big screen in 2004 and that movie played out the quantum physics that we would be experiencing today. Seriously 

The above photo is where The Dude and I launched from. The end of the boat ramp is some 20 feet / 6 meters to the left and bone dry. I walked almost halfway across the river in ONLY ankle deep waters. And the water is so flipping warm. Like Unreal Warm 

We are 100% living during the Inconvenient Truth. Do you recall that 2006 movie? Scientists predicted that we would see massive storms , exponential droughts , and ice caps rising the glorious ocean along our shorelines. Yup , everything that is happening right now some 20 years later was a fact back then. Only took us human 2 decades to cause this with our heads in the sand of course. Humans 

As you know , I am not typically a gloom and doom kind of guy. Just sharing the facts that we are Phuc'D and there is absolutely zero hope for Mother Nature. And I cant help but wonder about the animals cooking while not able to fully comprehend the shake down. Such A Bummer 

All this stems from watching a mother duck and her 9 babies navigate a section of the river while we casually floated on by. Them little fluffy headed babies were so flipping cute. And when they needed to add a little gitty up from a mother's call , they flat out moved along. Effortlessly 

Again , not intending to be a Debbie Downer but this is my observation of what's what. In the photo below , you can actually make out where the waterline should be for high water levels. The Entire Wizard Of Oz Clan should be under water. Our Mighty Colorado Peaked Last Weekend and that is why The Dude and I made the float happen. The Oz Group is almost halfway under water. High Water? I don't think so my friends. Scary Sh*T 

NUMBERS:

Thats right my friends , one day off in May. May The 4th Be With You!! Yahooo00000 

As for Sträva and these are all 100% commuter biking miles. 36 Hours on the bike in May , 188 Miles / 302km , and 29 Activities as you can see. Talk about teaching an old dog some new tricks?? When do I learn? When is the next vacation? Where do I go? When Do I Go? I'm Ready  

One Step At A Time & Happy 6/3 6:36 ,

Cheers
