Got home at 1:30, got up at 9 and washed and tuned the bike before I had my coffee so I could avoid the 100 degree heat today. Read 102 yesterday riding into work; it took me two bottles of gatorade before I felt normal and another three cans of Talking Rain before I had to pee. This despite drinking 48 oz of water with added electrolytes on the ride in. My helmet straps this morning looked like urban camo there was so much MeSalt on them. Hard to believe I did a 114 degree day last year, and that with only 40oz of water.

The roommate bought a gallon of margarita mix, threw a fifth of tequila in it and tossed it in the fridge. It's entirely possible that I will spend the day hammered out of my mind and playing Horizon Zero Dawn. However, I should probably finish my coffee before I pour a margarita.

Hitching a ride with said roommate into Beverly Hills tomorrow. He's got a dentist appointment and I want to look at stupidly expensive watches because while I don't know what sort of inventory they have, I know that Beverly Hills is the most likely concentration of stupidly expensive watches this side of Dubai.

Speaking of, I've decided MB&F are the shiznit. I would love to charge $75k for shit like this:

Because of course you're going to charge $5000 for a print of an E-jag whose wheels have been photoshopped away.

BTW ButterflyEffect we're going to Portland in November

It was 105 here today. Not very Portland like at all.

Took the wife and kid to Ape Cave lava tube. The climbs were a bit challenging for inexperienced adults but my six year old conducted herself like a tough little pro. We had to hand her down a few rock features but she walked/climbed most the way herself. Best part was that the cave was around 48 degrees.

It must be so exciting to watch your child accomplish hard things...

Not an experience I will ever know, but one I can appreciate vicariously, at least!
