   Watching La Flèche Wallonne this morning, and there is a dude from Atlanta in the race.

   Also Christian Vande Welde inadvertently answered a question I had, whether the announcers now call the race remotely. Vande Velde lives in Greenville, SC and said that the Atlanta guy, whose name I will look up, “trained here in Greenville.”

   Wordle in 4 and really should have been 3.

   Artem is a good rider. I don’t know if he will make it beyond the water carrier roll, but to get to the show is still something.

   Waze tried to be my friend this morning and told me to get off 85, but I thought it couldn’t be that bad… it wasn’t but it certainly would have been better to follow its direction. Only a half hour late.

   Yesterday’s excitement was stopping for an oil change on the way home!! Woohoo.

   20 minutes on the trainer.. needed more, but it was getting late. How was last nights ride?

     Good ride, but also a humid one. Seven riders, 18.5 miles at an average of 15.4 mph, followed by beer and peanuts and left just before the rain.

   Trees gone – the live one was full of carpenter ants at the bottom, so its good we got rid of it, as soon enough it would be in bad shape. They took it away, as it would not have been good for firewood. They did leave the dead tree, so we might cut it up to make some more firewood.
   More money gone, more money gone………..

   stump is now ground – dang those things probably cost plenty, but they work FAST! Took like 10 minutes – all computerized – like flying a drone – he just stands back with his controler

     Huh, interesting. I’ve not kept up with stump grinding technology.

   I’ve become the Ted Lasso of home farming, planting okra seeds in an area that probably should have not been used, and replacing two tomato plants that didn’t make it with some that have probably a 50/50 chance of making it.
