Stan, only takes two little people to make me take a day to recover.

Are pancakes a lunch food? That appeals to me today for some reason. So far wanting another cup of coffee when I finish one, probably should stop at 3. Maybe 4.
Not smoky down by us Mike. It was for a few days but seems to have gone away. Made for some spectacular sunsets.

Good afternoon all. It was a nice quiet day except for band rehearsal, that got pretty loud at times. I think I may go for an evening ride to dinner.

Evening, guys.
One tired puppy here. Fence post from hell replaced and ramped the driveway. I'm too old for this ****.
And the kids are coming over for dinner.

Hi Greg. What is "ramped the driveway"? Resealed it ?

Blue sky showing through the clouds today, weather forecast was for bad smoke Til Tuesday but air seemed pretty clear today. Get a 2 and a 4 year old tomorrow, hope it doesn't wipe me out. At least I should get to watch a good boxing match, the pink car (8") I ordered came today, he'll think it's his because it matches his red one, she'll want it because it's pink. He's no match for his sister, wonder how hard she'll bounce his head off the floor.

Had pancakes for lunch, wasn't as fulfilling as expected. Back on the breakfast food list.

If you’ve ever attempted to ride your bike into his driveway, you’d know to keep the speed up so you can hop the curb.

My driveway is not panned, it has a relatively sharp curb. So I bought some concrete to smooth the transition.

The good news about getting in or out of Greg's driveway is the angle of the drive creates a perfect balance point over the gutter so any attempt to ingress or egress at slower than optimal speed leaves you high centered with absolutely no way to get enough leverage with your feet to move forward or backward.
