Solo Sunday

 An easy 20 solo miles to relax the legs.  Of course the wind doesn't help.  

On top of the world baby! 🌎 When the job goes well, the money rolls in and you can do any freaking thing you want.  

Job going well.  Teaching the young guys about work ethics.  So sad young people nowadays really don't know what hard work is. I'm working half speed and they think I'm a machine.  I have to work half speed or I'd end up doing everything.  Leaving some work for them so they can be reminded of how much they suck ha ha ha.

Got a new guy, over paid and half ass worker but he programs the computers, CMM,  Micro vu, etc. 

Bosses know I do a bulk of the work and much better about detail than my two coworkers in my department.  So they're bugging me to learn the programming part. Uh yeah but the programmers are making $70k to $100k. And though I'm making good money now, I'll be getting my share if they want their programs to have the Mr.Beanz touch. 💰 

Otherwise   just having fun enjoying life. 😉

Oh, that expensive cycling cream Stuff. Overpriced.  $15 for 3 Oz. The Walmart stuff, 16 Oz for $6 works better imo. I only bought the blue steel cream to put my shipping order in free delivery range. 

Mennen Speedstick $1.50 and Walmart cream are tops.















Some Beanz shots from Ron and Dixie's video camera,  still shots. Thanks 😉

Solo Saturday Ride in California

 Solo 46 miles in my California jersey.  Windy again but squeezed out a15.9 average speed not pushing too hard.  Man I'm getting old. Put on my base layer this morning, under my t-shirt.  Felt strange but didn't think much.  Then looked in the mirror and noticed,  not only was it inside out, but backwards too. 🤣 Then came home to find my Mudder in law got these bicycle decorations for me.I swear she's just as sweet as Gina but with a dab of smart ass! 😆😄😆

Wheel sucker city! So some dude comes up from behind me at the Edna Bridge.  Not sure where he came from because I saw nobody around. Maybe out of the park. 

He catches me after a while but takes my wheel.  I'm just doing my solo thing so I sit up and let him go around.  He says hi. Then he pulls away 50 yards or so.  But he's watching me then 2 miles down the way he fades and I roll around,  not lifting the pace.  He takes my wheel again,  C'mon man!

So I sit up again,  let him go around but this time I give him the stinks eye and shake my head.  He's a young fit looking guy, do your own ride for God's sake. 

Si he blasts off getting 1/8 mile ahead.  I keep my pace hoping NOT to catch him cause I know he'll take my wheel again. 

But tge last stretch to the coast I catch him. He probably spent too much energy looking back at me over 8 miles or so. 

So I pass him and sure enough.  I look back at him, shake my head and laugh.  Then I stepped on the gas lifting the pace about 3 mph. I know he's going to stick on my wheel but that's ok cause it'll show him what a weak Bastard he really is ha ha ha!😆😄😆  Just riding my bike, working and enjoying the food  😋























A couple girls at the coast 

 Barely legal but seemed to want to show their stuff. Too young for my taste but sure some of the viewers might be happy to know the bikinis are coming back out now that it's warming up some.

Sunday Ride and Flowers

 Solo 20 relaxing miles today.  Hike and Bike pretty much with the same 2 flooded underpasses at the homeless area. I almost think the homeless have been placing water there to annoy cyclists.  I mean,  even when the river was full,  these2 underpasses weren't. Something going on couple weeks back with the dam control but still wasn't like this. No reason for it. 

But otherwise a nice ride. Then to the cemetery to take some flowers to my Dad. Looked kinda bare and sad out there. Almost seems that he hasn't had flowers for quite some time.  Not sure but hey  I took some. 

Then to lunch with Gina. Little place called Lilly's Tacos on Garey in Pomona just North of Holt. When I worked at R&S, they'd buy us burritos once in a while and boy they were good. 

So Gina and I stopped in a couple weeks back being in the area. She liked it so we went back today.  Good stuff but more of a lunch than a dinner in my case. But I'm a big eater ha ha ha! 






What's up with the Chinese people? 😄 A large group of cyclists with a fleet of vehicles nearly identical.  All whit electric SUVs. Just funny  don't get me wrong, I love Chinese people.  One of my good friends is Chinese. 😆
