agreed...Just a quiet night at home I suppose, but you never know.
Better bring some protection!
You forgot the diacritical umlaut above the "e", thus (ë), I would pronounce it Svoymesto, but then again, it's not often I'm right - so I may be wrong.
p.s. My 24mm Lite arrived this morning.
With the heat today decided to go for the twenty mile ride...found the Raleigh landfill park eventually, the greenway dumped out onto a sidewalk and I had to go a ways through a neighborhood till the path dumped back into obscurity. It was a couple miles into the park, and I had to hop a barrier and go the wrong way along a concrete roadbed for perhaps a mile till I encountered the gate to the gravel path leading to the top of this monstrous heap...
It really is a beautiful park, but the trail leading to the top is loose gravel made up of a lot of sharp rocks so I didn't dare ride my road tires on this surface. Shoulda, woulda, coulda brought my gravel bike
nonetheless...hiked to the top, shaking with dehydration and low blood sugar, and beheld a wondrously beautiful panorama of the countryside and Raleigh downtown proper. It was an amazing view, well worth the effort on cooler days, which today was not. I was wearing my riding shoes which are the only ones I could procure with a proper fit, and they are street shoes with hard plastic soles and metal cleats to lock me into the pedals...each step was a slip and slide on both ascent and descent. There was no shade afforded at the summit, just the cruel sun beating down relentlessly upon the wonderful vista; and me...
I lingered for about fifteen minutes up there admiring the beauty, then proceeded to walk my bike back down to the tarmac, where I was afforded a much welcomed downhill glide with the air cooling me off for aprox. 3/4 mile and back to the trail...
Made my way up to the Falls of Neuse dam and hit up the bike shop there for a couple waters and an energy/electrolyte gel...the owner knocked a buck off my tally as I only had fivers on me, and I said man, you just saved my day.
Decided not to hike up to the top of the dam and just rode the eight miles back to the car, I really anticipated this to be an easier day than it turned out but I guess 92+F and high humidity can really put the screws to your endurance levels... really want to do this one over in cooler weather, with the proper bike under .....

I went to see the eye specialist today, (for my retinal vein occlusion) expecting to get another shot in the eye. The last one was around 3 months ago, he said it was not necessary, he said it looked as if it had never happened. My vision in my right eye is still a bit blurry, but nothing like it was. It might be that I am just due for a new prescription. He still wants to see me again in late August before he releases me, but it looks like no more needles in the eye.

That pretty much says how I feel about it, after the first couple of shots, my employer had made me take a sick day whenever I had one scheduled, so I was off today. The doctor said all along that I was okay to work but the boss said no. It kind of ticks me off that he thinks he knows better than a doctor. Most weeks sense this was going on, I would rarely work a 8 hour day, so I guess I got paid more with the sick day. I did not bother to tell them today for that very reason. I also am taking a Staycation, so I am off till the 10th. Woohoo!!

Sad and happy day...stopped by my local bike shop and the owner had some money for me...seems my Trek 800 mountain bike has a new owner. I rode over 1200 miles on that bike over the past year, in hurricanes, snow, rain, and all kinds of places. Many happy adventures were had on those 26 inch wheels. During my stewardship of that bike I overhauled both wheels, the bottom bracket, replaced the chain, crank, rear cluster gears, shifters, and all cables and brake pads. the new owner got a hechuvagood running machine. All said and done, that ride cost me about 15 cents per mile. I definitely am a cheap date
I made the worst. (possibly most unique) and most embarrassing vaping error ever made. I'm not even mentioning the details here (or anywhere) because HERE especially, the emogies and commentary would crush me. They really would.
I'm trying to comfort myself with its UNIQUENSS but there are times UNIQUE is not good, like during the Darwin awards.
I seriously think I could win an honorable mention. In the REAL book
Hope you had happy days it is gonna take a LOT of Grey's Anatomy for me to feel capable or even like, not subhuman tonight.
