Weather is pretty nice right now for an 8-10 mile trail run. Think I'll head to a MTB trail called 6 mile trail. It's only 5 miles, but the name stuck. It's a pretty rocky trail with ups and downs but no long climbs.

Warden and Gatsby, yes NE IPA and Hazy are the same here too, that was the joke . The best Hazy IPA that I've had was in Hood River at pFreim Brewing. Had a hint of grapefruit and was really tasty.  I think Queen tried it as well.

No sign of GC100k or Daydreamer1 in a while.

QOTD:  Do you have a TV in the bedroom?  We do, and it's usually on for a few minutes (like watching the end of a show that we had on downstairs) and then I read my Kindle while falling asleep.  This came up on Sunday when we were with friends. The wife wants a TV i n bedroom and the hubby says now way. They say they've fought about it for years.

Oh hi, I'm back at work today.  Dammit.  Will eventually get some photos together.

QOTD:  Nope, no TV in my bedroom.  Shamefully, I sometimes watch something on my phone in bed.

Another short run this morning. It was easy but a little quicker than I thought it would be.

QOTD: No television in the room. We are considering it, though. The girls each have one in their rooms, which rarely get watched. I think I am going to get a digital antenna for local stations. We still get the main local station that we watch through our FireStick, but my wife seemed upset when she realized we could not get the Saints game on Sunday because it was on the Fox affiliate. I watched it on my NFL app on my phone. We have been married for over 17 years, and this is the first time she has complained about a football game not being on the tv on a Sunday afternoon. I don't know... So, I'll get the antenna when I am back in town.

No run today.  The knee is feeling a little better and it is buckling backwards a lot less today.

qotd: Nope, we only have one TV in the house.  We used to have a second smaller TV that I set up in front of my DW's treadmill that we had in the loft, but the treadmill crapped out and when we got rid of it we gave the TV to my DS.  (mt you're not supposed to admit to that!!!)

Guess we’re a little slow on the draw sometimes. 

3 mile dog jog last night on the trails of Coventry Woods with the Lady and Baker. We call her matriarch now. Whatever pace she wants is what we do. She has earned it. So it was slow, and we ran into 3 big groups of mountain bikers towards the end of the loop. There is a bike club that often rides these trails. As they approached, they shouted "walker ahead". Groan. Cry.

Today, the usual routine. 2 mile mix dog walk/jog in the morning and 2 real running miles with Baker midday. I believe he was a bit tired. He laid down on someone's yard with a 1/2 mile to go. I had to drag him back up.

QOTD: Yes, we have a tv in the bedroom but we don't watch it very often. Once in awhile I will turn it on to catch the end of a game that runs late, but that usually doesn't work as I "zzzzz" out pretty quickly once I lay down in bed. My wife used to insist on falling asleep with the tv on but she fell out of that routine a few years ago.

AT - Stoudt's brewing had an IPL out that I sampled. I think the L is for lager.

No run today (bike commute), but sooo much looking forward to my day off tomorrow to hit the trails for an extended run through the mountains.

Fun story of the day: Today, I was not only commuting two hours later than usual, meaning there were more cars passing me, but I was also wearing a skort (I usually wear bike shorts) with bike shorts underneath. The skirt part of the skort is longer than a running skort, so it was flying in the wind as I was zooming down the hills.

Normally, I am ignored by the cars that are passing me, but today, I got honked at, yelled at ("Hey, Hottie!"), waved at, several times. Must have been that skirt? 

I was giggling, because - little did they know, they got it so wrong. I am not a Hottie, just an old woman cranking up the hills in the granny gears. Not the usual college girl fare of our country college town. You don't want to honk at me, trust me. 

QOTD: I have one in my bedroom, and for years, I used to turn it on to fall asleep to. It is a freebie from the dumpster (not a flat screen), and my Ex got it about five years ago. It is too heavy to get it out of the bedroom and down the stairs, so it is still there.

When I fall asleep with it on, it sometimes gives me wonderful dreams (when HGTV is on), sometimes it gives me nightmares (when Discovery ID is on). But since a few months now, I don't have time to watch TV at all, and I noticed I get much better sleep now without the TV on, so it hasn't been used much. Kids watch it sometimes, when they prefer my company over watching downstairs on the "good" flat screen.

warden: Good luck with getting the pack on TinyE this time. BTW, I just learned that some people at work got fired for downloading porn - on the company computer. Must have been a pretty good video to disable the reasoning part of your brain like that.
