She picked out a Takqueria right off the beltway with easy parking. The GPS sent me to the heart of downtown through hellush traffic into the hipster district. It was worth it to hang out with Trippy and eat Korean Tacos. You are too kind, it was fun to hang out and you got to see my bike :-) That place was so good I went back today (although to the beltway location) and this time I got the sesame-chili-sea salt fries with my takos. OMG. Dude. It's causing me actual physical pain to know you missed out on those. 3 hours ago, Xena said: It makes me so happy that two of my favorite people that I've never met were hanging out and eating hipster fusion tacos :-) Mrs. Sloth is even more fun in real life than expected.

Sloth the Enduring Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 6/28/17 Thursday It was a good day. I decided to skip riding and do a long one tomorrow. We had a perfect day weather wise; the sun finally came out. We spent all day at the beach. Despite my native blood, my base tan, and the spf 50 Mrs. Sloth insisted I wear, I ended up sunburnt. I was 18 before I first got sunburnt, but the older I get, the more easily I burn. Have I mentioned the dogs? The closest dune walk-over is the entrance to the town's dog beach. We're at the beach surrounded by dogs. It makes it even better. Also crabs. I gave a crab a grape and soon three of them were playing soccer with it. It was surreal. I don't know how to spoiler on a phone, if you're squeamish go away and come back tomorrow. Still here? We decided to walk to the nearest pier for ice cream and fish tacos. It was a little over 3 miles each way. My penis was chafing against the built-in mesh underwear in my swimsuit as we walked. Despite adjusting several times there was a bloody spot in the front of my shorts when we got back. That part was not the good day part. It's tender and it hurts to pee. I think it'll heal up quickly though, it doesn't look injured. The worst part is I didn't even get any fish tacos. I brought snacks with, but I didn't eat anything at all in between breakfast and dinner. We went out to a nice sea-side restaurant and two margaritas on an empty stomach threw me for a loop. Tomorrow we pack up and go MIL's to reunite with the kids. 11 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

It is indeed a ridiculous show, but I pretty much live in that town. I didn't really recognize it until my mom and brother pointed it out to me. They still live in the Chicago area where I grew up (not at all like the show). We have all those silly little festivals, and I usually know someone when I walk into a store. I even dated the guy that owns the local coffee shop (like on the show). The town is full of smart retired people with too much time on their hands, so lots of people volunteer for good causes, but lots of people also stir up bits of trouble and complain about things. Case in point...the town newspaper...letters to the editor are EXTENSIVE. And wow, there are weird little dramas. But it's mostly a nice little town and I have good friends who look out for me. , Anyway, in some ways the show is a more clever version of my actual life. Except for the part about rich parents/grandparents. I don't have those. I'm glad someone does. I don't usually watch drama on tv at all but really got into this in the first few series and got mocked horribly for it. Your actual life now sounds fun to me! 1 Quote Link to comment

Sloth the Enduring Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 6/29/17 Thursday It was a good day. I thought we'd rent a kayak and look for manatees in the river, but Mrs. Sloth wanted to stay out of the sun. She is sunburnt everywhere. She wore a bike-short looking suit to protect her white heinie and that somehow got sunburnt too. She was pretty crabby about it. We packed up and moved on. After reconnecting with the kids I went on a sort-of long ride (46 miles/ 74km) around a lake. I'm starting to feel like a cyclist again, but I'm slow. Rules for for riding in Florida: 1. It's windy af. You will always fight the wind, as soon as you think you're going to have a tailwind it'll shift around into your face. 2. No matter how clear and sunny it is when you leave, at some point you will be stuck in a thunderstorm. 3. The guys in big, black trucks will honk at you, every single one. They're not being jerks, they're warning you they're there and would prefer not to run you down. Training: No yoga, no KBs. I'm starting to feel jacked up again. Riding: 46 miles endurance pace. Eating: good except for a gallon of sweet tea. We had lunch in a real Florida diner and the waitress who called me sweetie kept filling it back up and I kept chugging it down. Sweet tea is a compulsion. Accts not balanced. My bank card quit working. There was a security breach and they sent out new cards and cancelled the old ones. I probably recycled it with the junk mail. I'm stuck using a credit card until I get home. 9 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

On 6/20/2017 at 8:10 PM, Sloth the Enduring said: 6/20/17 Tuesday It was a good day. I reminded myself why MIL doesn't like me. All the siblings and their spouses went to my sister-in-laws house to have a meeting about finances, end-of-life care, inheritances, etc. [As background info., MIL loves drama, being the center of attention, and can never tell if I'm serious or joking]. We were all seated around the dining room table and it was kind of tense. It felt like the big reveal on a reality TV show. It started with a long melodramatic speech by MIL. After a long time I interrupted with, "You know I'll pull the plug." Everyone looked at me with jaws slightly agape and cracked up. After that every time it got a bit tense someone would make a joke about it at my expense. It was a jerk move on my part, but just what the group needed. MIL was furious with me, but to her credit she kept it inside. Mrs. Sloth wasn't too happy either. I have done this and got the same response. And then I've done it again, later. I think we're the same person, except I am so pale I am practically transparent. On 6/21/2017 at 10:08 PM, Sloth the Enduring said: That's exactly right. Lest y'all think I'm over-dramatising her love of drama, Mrs. Sloth kept our wedding secret from her mother until she showed up at our door just before the wedding started because Mrs. Sloth didn't want to deal with anything that would be stirred up..

Sloth the Enduring Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 6/30/17 Friday It was a good day. After the kid's week of all-out fun, we kept it mellow. In the morning we met one of Mrs. Sloth's imaginary friends and our kids played in a splash pad. I got bored and wandered off and found a bike shop where I bought another pair of shorts. After lunch the ladies ran an errand. I played about a dozen games of Uno with Slothboy until I proclaimed him Grand Champion of the World. And did some Yoga - it was very painful, I need to keep the habit up. I was scheduled to ride after they got back from shopping, but they were gone for like five hours. It started raining about two miles in; it felt like being pelted with 1/4" ball bearings. It was foolish to keep going, but if I turned back I'd have been crabby that I couldn't ride and would end up having to talk about why it is important that I have time to train. It seemed like a better idea to instead defy common sense. A bolt of lightening close enough to make my hair stand up changed my mind. I hid under the awning of a boiled peanut shack* until the storm passed and I finished my ride. I brought a dead snake home and left it on the patio for the kids to find. Training: Yoga - 15 minutes. KB - S&S warmup at 12 kg, no actual work. Riding - 24 miles at an endurance pace, but it was stupid windy and it may have been a tempo ride. Eating - good, except too much lemonade. Accts not balanced. I have to make some calls and pay bills that won't be covered by bank card. *It was really an overpass, but it's a better story this way. 11 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment
