Should have learned by now

The view from my bedroom window, you can just make out the tops of the west hills, this was the other night. I digress..... anyway

A Sunday cycling fiasco,
It's 8.45 Sunday morning, Headed out the door on my rain bike, right there indicates a problem don’t it.
4C / 39F, weather forecast couldn’t decide between showers and rain, so I chose to go dressed optimistically, thats the 1st bad move.

On today’s agenda, meet the boys at the coffee shop up the road and head out for a long 70 mile ride, long rolling hills, climbs and some fast decants. 5 hours later back soaked bone, my toes totally blue after being in waterlogged shoes, hands numb - I couldn’t feel my fingers. What happened? well drizzle lasted 5 mins then turned to solid rain. The route was good, somewhat hilly and rolling out to the east, Climbing hills is alright, keeps you warm. The problem is of 2 things, as you get higher the rain freezes and turns to snow. Then you have to freeze your arse off at 35mph on the decent.
Yeah woulda thought I’d have learned by now. Stood in warm shower for about 20mins wondering why hell I do this.

Other stuff going on.
I’m loving the new house - still a few things to sort out, but otherwise all good.
I went snowboarding on wed with my boss so technically it s working right? got home and the turtle tank was all cloudy , I thought to myself that water pump must have gone. no - the turtle had munched on the fish - yeah fish chunks floating around and nasty fish oils covering everything, had to clean the whole bloody tank.


Since summer is coming and I love grilling, I used to grill all the time in KY, good times. I bought a grill on Sat, I have been missing an outdoor grill for a while now, I like to grill most seasons out of the year because I love that grilled chicken goodness. Like everything else nowadays it came in the regular do it yourself pack which took me 192hrs to assemble due to ever so clear Chinese instructions.





It looks fancy, but it's really not, I think they did a good job on the appearance to make it look like it's worth a lot more than it actually is.



This is what happens when the turtle comes out of the tank, she finds the nearest warm dark place, in this instance a camera case.
