• cloudy and rainy day, makes one thankful for sunny days
• coffee
• get to see mozzie for a very small amount of time this morning, better than not at all.

Just watched Cloverfield. Outside of what I usually watch but I appreciated the creative “found footage” approach.

Very happy with how this pair turned out.

Leather oven mitt order in progress.

🚴🏼‍♂️ From my ride yesterday evening, sunset over the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg PA.

Back from an extremely enjoyable 20 mile ride with Mozzie, our first ride together on our new bikes. Had a phenomenal time together!

Having showered I am now sitting outside enjoying a cigar, relishing in the good feeling I have at the moment :-)

🚲 My bike 😊. Jamis Renegade S3. Purchased from local bike shop on Tuesday and loving it.

✨ I am feeling oddly good about things/life at the moment...which is a strange way to feel...I kinda like it :-)

🏕️ Wasn't able to take the bikes home yesterday, but we picked them out from a local bike shop yesterday. I'll go back on Monday and finalize and take them home! We are both eager to ride together...maybe even dipping our toes into bikepacking!

📝 I love a "productive" journaling session where I start with a problem at the beginning of writing and by the end have it figured out. Too much fun.

Our trip to the Aquarium also coincided with his last day of 3rd grade :-)

🐠 Had a great evening yesterday in Baltimore, MD at the Aquarium's member night - a simple trip that doesn't seem to get old.
