Three day weekend...

I'm getting ready to go for a long bike ride with Javier. We're meeting at Heather Farms and going up Mt. Diablo. The last bike ride I went on with him, he took me on the Olympic trials course in Orinda. He thoroughly kicked my ass, then I think he went a rode Bear Creek after that. He's easily lost 50 pounds and looks great. I hadn't seen him in a while and I didn't recognize him. I would like people to not recognize me. Not everyone, just certain people.

This morning's numbers

Spiders as big as Buicks

This place I'm living in hasn't really been taken care of in years. I can see where grubs have gotten at the front lawn. (Which means they're after the back lawn too). I saw these beetle nests when I was cutting the front lawn two weeks ago. The Deaf Guy next door was hanging around when I was fooling with them and came out and looked. He came back with some insecticide and showed me on the bottle what they were. Then I came out and found him spraying down the nest. Well, yesterday I finished the job, since I knew they were throughout the lawn. Around the garage door tons of them came up the front of the house to get away from the insecticide. Along with them was this big black spider roughly as big in diameter as a golf ball. Gack! I hate spiders. This house has the nastiest ones I've ever seen. I sprayed them all down a few more times and I think they are all gone along with their giant spider friend Delta 88.

Spent an hour and a half on the bike yesterday. Got to the base of Ygnacio Valley and back, it was calm. Looked at two potential homes to buy. One is just down my line. Nasty green carpet that looks like something Linda Blair spewed in her youth.

I'm off on a 2 hour or maybe an hour and a half bike ride. The wind has died down and it's gorgeous here. Today ends one week of acting pretty damned right on my new BFL challenge. Tomorrow morning's weigh in will be of great interest.

Now I have to make it through a breakfast meeting with no sinning today. I am focused, I will perservere. Tomorrow they're bringing in ribs. I'm going to ask them to order me a chicken breast. I've made great progress this week and I'm not going backwards.

The heat has gone away, and it's normal weather here. I'm hoping for a still evening and a killer bike ride tonight.
