That’s incredible! Congrats. And to think you didn’t stop in Beijing to see me!!!!

I thought I heard him say he was planning on it, but the in laws and all. Mr Microphone is where most of us draw the line.

Ah, excellent point. If you are doing all that biking you need to have complete charge of all of your senses, especially hearing, and if it was like last night it was the combo at the same time in the same room of a soccer game on full blast (Goooaaalll!!!!) with Mr Microphone in belting out traditional patriotic songs. It’s always a party here!

For at least one day of my life, I hung with Michael Phelps in terms of calories burned exercising lol.
Day 1 of the trip was my 54th birthday, but no love here from zigbee. I guess he doesn't like me anymore. 😪😪😪
Ah, only 54. That explains it. I was fine till about.. 57. Then the miles fell on me hard. Joints ache. Hitch in the get along. Big toe don’t like me some days. You know, regular BS

About the same, I had to stop playing pickup basketball against 20 and 30-somethings at about 56 or 57. Knees could not take it any more.

Wow, impressive. Even better than riding a Nepalese Sherpa.
