September riding

[ny biker]

I am seeing color in leaves here too, but it's brown, like they're dying. Don't know if that means they're diseased or if it's too much/not enough rain. I am downright worried that we'll have an early and cold winter. With office consolidation going on at work I don't know if I'll be able to use my light box there like I did last year.

So you'd think I'd be outside right now getting some sun. But no, when the alarm went off this morning I turned it off and went back to sleep. I've just had too many nights lately with only 4-5 hours of sleep. So no club ride for me today. There's too much traffic for an afternoon ride so I will go out tonight. I'm trying to be productive and watch training videos for work but they are so dull. Not sure what I will do this afternoon. Maybe go through my winter bike clothes and get them ready since I will probably need toe covers and tights tonight and this weekend. In early September!

grrrrrr I decided to give up on the training videos and spend a quiet afternoon getting stuff done around the house before going out to ride tonight. But the stomping elephant upstairs neighbor came home very early [insert string of expletives in all caps here]. I had just downloaded the latest Foo Fighters song from their new album and am now playing it on repeat at a high volume. I can do this all day.... anyway, cycling related, I finally got around to ordering a new Road ID. I wanted to update the contact info and also tweak the medical info. My old one has a fabric "sport" band which is very dirty. The new one has the silicone band with the new pin tuck closure. In orange.

I'm kinda meh about the new Foos songs that I've heard so far. They don't grab me right away, but grow on me slowly. Apparently this album was produced by someone new. It sounds like it.
