Dang Auto Mechanic

 Mo riding after losing a couple days to a tire mechanic fighting about my brakes.  Long story but ended come back tomorrow story then trying to jack . F that guy, wasted my time. 

But did eat out at a crappy place Gina wanted to try after reading good reviews on this taco place.  Must have been white people ha ha ha. 

But did get to take a pic of my MIL  showcasing my new tree topper from Conversation Concepts.  Fellow you tuber I met through his cycling channel. 

He sent me some samples. Cute stuff and I saw this old dude Walter on his site before.  I liked it and they were no longer putting it out but hey, I know George. 😄

And finally,  a clean bike. Cleaned and lubed not long ago but wet weather 🤣😅🤣

43 with Tony

 43 with Tony. Conversation pace then met Joaquin for the final stretch of 14 miles.  16.1 average speed. Then lunch with Gina. 

Some things are better covered up. 🤣

I Should Have Stayed in Bed Tour

 . Old Fart solo 20 miles. Tried to go easy to relax but the wind made sure I didn’t. 

One of those days you wake up thinking you should just stay in bed but don't. You start the Ride thinking  WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING OUT HERE.  Then at the end of the ride,  you think WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING OUT HERE! 🤣😅🤣

After the ride, didn't have much of a craving for anything but ended up at Outback again.  Meat came out great today.  Ribeye. 

Then to the mall.  Walked around admiring Gina's white hair then found a funny t-shirt for my brother in law who loves the dude on the t. 

The BIG 6-0 Birthday Ride

 THE Big 6-0 Birthday Ride. Set out solo for an early birthday ride  its the 24, Wednesday I think 🤔.  Ran into  Ron  & Dixie in Yorba so we worked together against a stiff wind to the coast.  I think i did about a third of the ride with them. I continued on PCH for a bit to get 60. I wore my new Chinese  jersey  $20.  Cranky Old Bastard.  😄😆😄 

Solo 20 🕷 Spider Ride

 🕷   Solo 20 miles today. Just me and my spiders.Tried to go easy but freakin' wind.  Didn't see one person heading my way today.  VERY few people out today. New shorts breaking in just fine.

3 Extra Miles for Mary Tour

 3 Extra Miles for Mary Tour. 43 solo miles  at 15.8 mph average speed.  Lady at work was nice enough to bring Pan Mexicano ( Mexican bakery sweet bread for the gringos 😄). She offered a piece but I refused saying I had to ride tomorrow.  She said ok, take a piece then ride an extra mile. Then she said,  MAKE IT 3 MILES. 🤣 So I did the extra 3 for Mary.  River's Edge Cafe is open again but I didn't notice the new name. I did finish at 40 miles then headed back out for the other 3. 😄

Then after , some fajitas with my Honey. Gina said, even before I looked at the pic,  that she felt she smiled like a chipmunk.  😁

 Still having fun at work 🙃
