First of all, this….
I mean, where has common sense gone?
Oh well, it is get ready for back to school month and its nice seeing all the kids…I mean young adults before they head back to school be it high school or college or grad school or their new/first/second/third/fourth job.
Anyway, with all the tour of Utah stuff going on I didn’t have time to say how proud I was of our NASA team for landing a rover 35 million miles away on another planet. I am! Really, super duper cool. Here is an image that Chewy sent me.
Looks authentic to me.
Well, if I didn’t have to work this weekend, I’d suit up for Gravel Worlds in Nebraska. link HERE.
Aarg Matey!
I”d like to share a photo I call broken collerbone in….3…2…1…
Which reminds me, 2 Sundays ago I had a crash….a very fast and powerful crash. After clearing the lower part of DEVO at breakneck speed and actually avoiding eating shit on the rocks and roots, I was so happy that I zoned out and went sailing just like the above gentlemen about 10 feet down onto the rocks below. I was on my downhill type bicycle and had chosen that afternoon to wear my “soft” pads from 661. These are not the full on pressure suit type pads, but the soft ones that have material that supposedly hardens upon impact. They are stretchy and quite comfy. To add to it, I included a padded undershirt with shoulder pads and of course full face/mouthguard. Yup…..bruised through the pads and the first thing that I did upon getting up was checking the right and left clavicles. In tact. Shaken but not stirred. Got home, stripped down….no real injuries. I was bruised under my left elbow pad and knee pad, but other than that…I made it to work just fine on Monday.
So the lesson in there….ride a big bike and for Dog’s sake, wear pads.
Alright, I hope you’ve enjoyed this little talk we’ve had.
