In regularly scheduled programing, we didn’t do much today. I hit PiYo this morning, which made some tired and creaky legs feel much better. M did not, choosing to continue her exacting Trans-Iowa prep and stay in bed. Then, besides changing the oil and transmission fluid (and finding that there is in fact such a thing as too much blue locktite on the skid plate bolts), I did very little. Blessed rest.

But I will say that America’s Funniest Home Videos is just as awesome as it was 15 years ago. Not having cable is a cultural experience.

Bike camp; -5 days!
