Lady about town on a bike.
Leveled up the humble turkey sandwich: toasted rye bread from Rocket Baby, green onion cheddar cream cheese from Ruby’s Bagels, thick sliced turkey, thick sliced cheddar.
I got my @ternbicycles.com GSD back from the shop recently after they replaced the brake pads, fixed a flat, and washed it. Since then it’s been making a weird clunking sound when I pedal and I feel it catch or click as I do so. Anybody have any idea what this is? (Belt drive, Enviolo hub.)
It will never get old that I can ride my bike to the fifth largest lake in the world and just casually enjoy a beer. I am so lucky to live in Milwaukee.
I live in America’s Dairyland and send my kid to French school so naturally I brought butter for my bread at my picnic on Lake Michigan.
We saw this in a rest area vending machine today. Just normal Wisconsin things.
I have never loved anything like I love the overpriced Powerade I bought from the hotel store. I rode 15 miles today. 🥵
If you’re at the Downer Classic Bike Race, stop by the St. Mark’s tent for baked goods! All proceeds go to local charities!
Thank god I started lifting because now I can get the GSD into the car by myself. Took the batteries off first, which helped, but basically I am a beast now.
Wild Bill is an all-star in my heart. The way he talked Chad Patrick through a jam on Wednesday was incredible. Helped Kuhnel get a clutch save. While batting .302 with 48 RBIs and great walk up music?
Minneapolis is really rolling out the red carpet next week for me, a person who famously hates heat.
I hope the person who invented this is leading their absolute best life.
Our other ace is Kyle Harrison. The Milwaukee Brewers are dominating the league with literal children at the helm. It’s incredible.
I decided to celebrate turning 44 one day late by doing a personal Olympic distance triathlon. Swim: 1650 yards, 44:27. Bike: 25 miles, 2:32:41, Walk (I don’t run): 6.2 miles, 1:58:04. I am not fast or particularly good I am stubborn as hell. A real type 2 fun kind of day.
Did you know you don’t actually have to cook vegetables to have a balanced dinner? You can just put a bunch of raw vegetables on a plate, and your family will probably eat them!
My neighbor/bike mechanic fixed a wheel & brake alignment issue yesterday and I wanted to go for a spin on my lunch break but I was absolutely not built for this.
Behold. The perfect breakfast. That I’m eating for lunch. Only way they could be better is homemade flour tortillas instead.
We got an email today about fundraising during 4th grade for the 5th grade trip. There are still two weeks of 3rd grade left.
