Day 22 - A Crash, A Mower n Some Pho

Started the day nice and early with my bo arriving around 6:25 am for a ride around the lake. Tricky ride today because major running groups seem to take over the lake EVERY DAMN SATURDAY morning... really? You have people all over the damn place. Behind you, coming at you, left of you, right of you, popping out of blind areas... it's literally ridiculous. Hitting the end of our second lap, he's ready to pull the plug and then... down he goes. He took his usual shortcut and it handed him his ass, legs, bike, back... you get the point. Back to my place for disinfection... then he was off.

I went for some old fashioned breakfast, then spent an HOUR... yes an HOUR calling every store I could think of for an electric mower. I've been trying to find one under $200 in stock nearby and my lawn is way out of control... here it is!


It's in the box and waiting for early morning hours tomorrow to get to work. Damn it's hot outside...
Check out this huge box in my little car :) Didn't think you could fit a lawn mower in the back of your Fiat... think again!

Then, off to Dalat again. Today I got to try beef "Pho"... it was really Ramen cause of the egg noodles. I ended up spending like 4 hours there talking to the owner about political items of the day, sipping wine and eating more... OMG I'm so stuffed and really need to ride my bike tomorrow! I need to burn these staycation calories before returning to work Monday. LOL

Bike miles to date: 280... I would have put in more today, except the crash... tomorrow, I'll be at it again early and try to get some miles in before running home to mow with my new toy!

  1. Yes, I noticed there must have been some type of running/biking event at White Rock today. Sorry you and yours had the accident. Oh well, only the strong, right? I think that is how it goes. lol It was crazy hot today.
