They're not too bad and seem to sell a lot. I like to grab ‘em if I see them marked down.

I would say 6.5/10. Nothing special but enjoyable.

I just did a little bit of cleaning in the garage.

Now making some boiled peanuts. Now those are delicious.

Low-key thinking how I might be ready to trade-in my Ford Explorer for something else (still Ford, always), would love a F150 or larger, but just bad timing right now.

I’d love to own a Raptor. My cousin has one.

That's how my wife describes me.

It'd be 7/10 if you weren't a vikings fan.

I see a lot of nice pictures in here of you guys enjoying the weekend. Love it. Here's my contribution, homemade apple pie. Happy Labor Day.

Finished a 20+ mile bike ride (wind on way back was a killer) and waiting for my double cheeseburger and fries and enjoying the view

Still trying to use up those July 4th plates, I see lol.

Charging my phone and using my laptop. That bike ride kicked my ass. The ride into town was easy and I figured it was mostly due to it starting out with some nice (gentle) declines. The speed I picked up seemed to really help me when it flattened out. I took into consideration the wind but I couldn't really tell how it was affecting me.
That ride back, damn. I had a tough ride out of Yosemite (about 7 miles) that was mostly uphill and that one kicked my ass. This one was about as tough because of that wind on the way back.

As I was leaving town, I stopped to get a soda. The guy in front of me (think Aussie tourist) spent $150 on gas He didn't have a motor home but it was some kind of RV.

Anyway, butt has been good and kicked so the rest of the day is going to be chill. I didn't do any reading yesterday but I'll try and do some today. I actually read a bit of the motorcycle handbook this morning

My camping spot each time I come up. This is an overflow lot for the Robinson Creek campground


Some early morning visitors



And we got mountain country and ranch country down below

Stay safe out there and don’t tick off Smokey!

Finishing up THG 1, about to play some SMT5-V and read before bed. Also need to shower and finish washing my bed linens.

Yes, I'm ecstatic. Should we send out invitations?

So I had plenty of Italian food today.



A few photos

This is the Union Pacific “Big Boy” ..only 8 left in existence and is the largest steam locomotive ever produced.

Sounds boring as all get out. if I want to see a bunch of old relics, I can just go to a nursing home. At least it don't cost anything to go see them. On top of that, there is one in walking distance from my house. I wouldn't have to get an Uber to do that. Besides I like to go the nursing homes and sing anything you can do, I can do better.

I’m pretty hungry and thirsty so time to get something to eat. I haven’t been up here on a holiday weekend when it was this crowded. It’s not real crowded but there are more people than I’m used to seeing

.

Oh yeah and both gas stations have 87 for $5.59/gal. Round here, we call that winning!

Round here we call that being bent over a barrel and being shown ALL 50 states very, VERY slowly.

I've got the personality of paint drying on the wall. It takes a while, it's nothing to look at, and you'd rather be doing something else.

Most people tell me I'm -6.5/10. They take one look,
start getting , and stay sick for days. Basically Marget Thatcher naked on a cold day.

Brushing my teeth, going to switch into running clothes and then give myself a shave/haircut before I fix dinner and head into tonight's 4-8 shift.

Sorry, I meant that the gas is $6.59 a gallon. I've gotten a couple gallons here on two different trips and I vowed to never have to get gas there again. I meant to top off the other day one final time but I actually didn't fill the tank. I got to chatting with this guy at the pump next to me almost as soon as I got out of my vehicle and it wasn't until after I got back on the road that I realized I was only a little more than 3/4 of a tank:doh.

That's a good way to describe my personality I think but I'm probably being a bit hard on myself. Are you being a bit hard on yourself? I dunno

Mowed the lawn today. Prolly the last time before the leaves begin to change and fall. Then it’s mulch time!
