I was going to head out for a ride after work tonight. But I forgot my helmet, which doubles as my secondary light system (with blinky "hey notice me" lights to augment the brighter lights on the bike). And there's a gusty cold wind tonight. And I've been pretty sleep-deprived for the past few weeks for various reasons. I'm cranky and all I can think is "I am so tired I am so tired I am so tired." And I have to finish putting things away after the painters were here last week because my parents are coming tomorrow for a visit.
So never mind about the bike ride.

ny biker---seems like that was a good move, to stay home. Hope you get some good rest time tonight and a little down time before your visitors arrive.

More pictures from Saguaro National Park, including the first Gila Monster of the year, and he was a big 'un- maybe 14 inches or so.

Handsome fellow--I like reptiles. And is that a calachortus--the single yellow flower? And blue flax? I've always wanted to see desert spring bloom--never have.

Not a Calochortus. There is a Hibiscus in one picture, amidst a Fairy Duster (Calliandra) bush and also some Mexican Gold Poppies.
This is a great year for flowers! Much better than most.2016 Specialized Ruby Comp disc - Ruby Expert ti 155

Spent last week traveling to a conference and then seeing family. Leaving again on work travel tomorrow night. The woman I work for asked if I wanted to spend today and tomorrow riding in the Los Olivos area and then working on the presentations that we are doing over the next two weeks. It took me a millisecond to smile and say sure! We left today around noon and got here in time for a good hard and fast 3 hour ride on Foxen Canyon road and a couple of hours of work. Tomorrow morning we are going to do a sunrise ride up Figueroa mountain.
