Starting with sunrise
For most of my life I abhorred sunrise. I was not and still am not a morning person. What has changed is that I now wake up before sunrise on the reg. This is not something I have chosen. Rather it has chosen me. Now that I get up early and see the sun rise […]

Finding the route
strava.app.link/ZwMdyhCyrrb Last weekend I did this ride in part to find a better way down the mountains to the east of my home. The Mancos Spur Trail is a collection of trails that connect my town of Mancos to the Colorado Trail. It is primarily a hiking trail and isn’t the most friendly for riding […]

A good day to ride
strava.app.link/zBMehMixhpb Good day to ride fast. We got Kate a new/used road bike. So we had to do a 27.8 mile break in ride around our neighborhood. I like this ride cause about 30 minutes in we stop at the local coffee shop For caffeine and cherry tarts. We also spend half the ride or […]

Possibly the best thing
We built a shower into the garage for dog washing, but if we had children I could see it being equally useful. When we lived in the trailer dirt was just a fact of life. Now that we are in a house it is refreshing to have as little dirt as possible. Now Dazey and […]

59 miles and a Birthday

Mourning Loss of a Team Member as a Remote Team
Damn. This is a rough reality of remote work. We need to be checking in on each other not just for deadlines but because we give a shit about each other. I struggle with wanting meetings to be super efficient so that I can get back to work, and spending some pre meeting time with […]

Ready to Ride
It is getting warmer here in southwest Colorado, but the winds have arrived too. It may be 52℉ but the windchill makes it feel like 30℉. So I am ready to ride my bikes, but it’s just a bit on the cold side still. In the meantime I am binging on Youtube videos about riding […]

Turns out: Email not dead
Telegram’s founder and CEO has responded to the Brazilian Supreme Court’s order to suspend the app in the country… by blaming email for the company’s failure to respond to orders. — Read on www.theverge.com/2022/3/18/22985737/telegram-brazil-supreme-court-ban-email-address-statement-durov It seems strange to ask a vendor or government to change an email to use, and not leave the old address […]

Word of the day: Philomath
I took one of those personality tests today as I needed to write about myself. It turns out that I’m bad about writing about myself so this gave me some filler content to use. Anyway… In the results I was identified as a philomath which is a word I had never seen before. The definition […]
