after a unsuccessful attempt at getting to Longview TX, I’m at the airport in Charlotte NC waiting for a flight back to LAX. The boss said we would try again after this weekend. I guess they only have a handful of snow plows in all of Texas, and still they make fun of us CA :rolleyes::)

I’ve rocked in those rocking chairs many times. The BBQ joint across the way also ain’t half bad for airport food.

They are made in my (new) home town! If you ever want to buy one, here's the link:

Actually got out of the shop before the sun went down today so I hauled ballz home to sneak in a quick ride. No sooner changed clothes and walked out to the garage and my damn phone rang with my main customer and I was dumb enough to answer it...:facepalm: At least he only wanted to go over the same damn orders we had already gone over about a half dozen times earlier today.:bang::poop::cry: :mad:
 
Combo desert trip in Cali and AZ.

It's that time of the year when I like to head out to AZ to fish with my former fishing tournament partner. He reached out a few weeks ago and said that I needed to get out there asap, and boy, was he right. We spent the whole day on the water and landed 72 fish between us. My best trip ever out there. Gorgeous day. Calm, sunny, warm, no crowds. What memories are made of.

The day is young and I am uncertain already how it will go. I am supposed to work today but I started seeing an aura almost immediately when I woke up so here comes the migraine. First real one in a while. Lets see if my usual concoction of meds keeps it tame enough for me to function. Otherwise, I'll play the part of a cave troll today. :unsure:

Either way, I won't be riding my bike today! :laugh:

Ouch... :thumbsdown:

I may not ride my bike either. It's reallllly cold out there, and I've turned into a weather wimp. :p Cold enough that my windshield was frozen when I went to move the truck today. o_O

70 in Buffalo the past two days... :confused:
 
Have been trying to get out to Morongo Valley for a while (thanks for 411 @SnakeCharmer!) and today was it. Very casual late departure, getting to Big Morongo Preserve around 2:30. It's a great little spot we've driven by many times and never checked out. Hiked there for an hour hour, then headed up to Pioneertown. I've never been there, and have always wanted to check it out. Put our name in for the hour wait at Pappy and Harriet's and wandered around. Came back, grabbed some drinks, and waited some more. Finally got a table just as the band was starting up. It's been a year plus since I've heard live music, and it was magical! Great place, all out doors, distanced from other tables, and DAMN, some good food! We finished eating just as their set was up, and drove the hour home. Perfect afternoon! If you're looking for a quick, easy, and free day trip, this one is hard to beat!

Baseball practice and now I’m coming down with the cold my daughter had earlier this week. She missed 3 days of pre-school and not it seems to have passed on to my son and me. Had a big ride planned tomorrow but had to flake because I’m coughing up slugs.

On the bright side, kind of, I worked out a deal with my boss to ride from 10am-12pm a couple/few times a week during the workday. The not so bright side is that it took my rheumatologist telling me that I’m killing myself with my stress and long hours to get this in motion. My inflammation markers from my blood test this week were not good at all and it has started to inflame my organs. :thumbsdown: I’m going to be cutting out processed foods and alcohol for awhile to help get my body back in balance.

Close, psoriatic arthritis. Thanks for the best wishes.

I don’t over indulge on beers (often) but since I’ve been working long hours and managing teams in the US, Ireland, and Germany I haven’t been eating as well during the week. I’ve often been skipping both breakfast and lunch then eating crap for dinner. I only have maybe 3-4 cocktails per year so really just a few beers at a time these days. I just need to get my inflammation down and have a physical scheduled next month, hopefully my blood test results improve then.

Getting out for rides more consistently should help and I think I’m going to give meditation another try.

Are you on Methotrexate? Any fog? Good luck!

No, that’s what insurance wants people to try first but my doc was able to avoid putting me on that. If I were taking that I’d already be 100% alcohol free, I’ve heard it can wreak havoc on the liver. I take Stelara injections every 3 months which has helped me a ton. I rarely have any joint pain, in the past I’d limp into work in pain some mornings.
