ticks and slugs.

i kind of thought the mosquitos would be horrendous in the merrilan area this weekend but they weren't. however, if you looked at the ground you could see ticks walking around and there were a lot of slugs on anything you set on the ground. weird.

no riding last night. instead, i opted to help my lovely wife with deck staining. the color looks great but still a long way to go. after that, a quick dinner and then it was off to the dog park. oliver has developed a bit of a doggy tick...he is now marking golden retreivers. he just walks up to them, raises a leg and tries to do his business...but only on golden retreivers...weird.

chris solinsky missed the 5000m olympic team. i didn't stay up to watch it, but it sounds like he did too much work. oh well, he is young.

i have my appointment today to try and get to the bottom of what has been ailing my for a while now. as with anything, this is just the beginning of the process and it would be bad to think i'll be all better after one visit, but at least i'm starting the process.

i think i'm having a bad spelling day...sorry.

happy tuesday.
