Made a batch of flapjacks. Gonna be breakfast tomorrow ahead of a big ride. And maybe dessert tonight!
A rectangular baking pan rests on a stovetop. The pan is full of freshly-baked flapjack mixture. You can see the oats, fruits, and nuts.

this picture is a testament to the legacy of Sir Jackie Stewart. He campaigned tirelessly to make F1 safer.

Bortoletto hit the wall twice - once at 34G and a second time at 57Gs. He not only walked away, he was ready get back in the car for qualifying.

somewhere in this explosion of tires, rims, and carbon fiber shrapnel is Gabriel Bortoletto's F1 car.

All the love to Hollywood Curling and their support for *ALL* curlers. This is the way. 🥌 #curling
background photo of a person sliding out to deliver a rock along with the "Hollywood Curling" logo. Text reads: "Due to adoption of policies that we consider driscriminatory towards our members, Hollywood Curling Club is officially cutting ties with USA Curling" Text reads: "Statement on Trans Ban Since 2007, Hollywood Curling Club (HCC) has proudly established itself as the premiere curling program in the Los Angeles area, and has always welcomed curlers of all kinds. Currently HCC members represent a diverse group of individuals with varying gender identies that have established and helped the club grow over the years. HCC has no interest in being a part of any national organization that adopts policies that are discriminatory toward its own members, regardless of the context. HCC strongly recommends that USA Curling (USAC) refuse to adopt mandated changes to their policies and stand up for their principles. Doing so will send a message ot its membership and the wider community that we, as curlers, will not comply with discriminatory and hateful directives. Discrimination is against the spirit of curling. If USAC adopts this new policy, then HCC will end its affiliation with the organization. USAC participation offers minimal benefit to HCC members while creating less accessibility for current and future members of the sport. What little USAC has to offer in the realm of participation in national and international events would be denied to members by adopting these policies. Regardless of the course that USAC chooses, HCC will proceed to formally establish an inclusion polity that clearly communicates that curlers of any gender identity are welcome to participate in the club however they choose.

I really didn't think I could do this. But I did. And still had a bit left in the tank. Absolutely brilliant. #Zwift #WorkoutOfTheWeek

All I got for my anniversary was a trip to urgent care. Apparently the gift for 22y is stitches.

And it's done. A little sticking at the center so it's not perfect, but boy howdy does it smell good. Looking forward to a piece after dinner tonight! 🍽️ 🍜
a finished tubular Bundt cake rests on a light blue plate. There are some cracks in the surface that reveal the layer of poppy seed filling inside. It smells glorious.

Did my "2026 Window Shopping" last night and, well, we are f*cked in CA. @charlesgaba.com - those "pre-retiree" hikes are hitting squarely at people in their mid-50's. We're staring at ~$30k in spend next year. And we'll be dropping down to a Bronze plan from our Silver-esque COBRA.

Just insane.
A 63-yr old couple earning $90,000/year would go from paying $683/mo to a jaw-dropping $2.945/mo... or over 4.6x AS MUCH FOR THE SAME POLICY. That'd be $35,000/YR IN PREMIUMS ALONE, or 39% OF THEIR GROSS INCOME.

Also, Joël Retornaz is a never-ending delight. 🚚

first real storm of the season is making its way across the Bay Area. 1/4" of rain so far and the winds are blowing lots of duff/debris out of the redwoods. should be an exciting night.
a radar intensity image of the Bay Area from Santa Rosa south to Santa Cruz, including the central valley as far as Modesto. There are multiple bands of medium-to-high-intensity squalls. Richmond and Berkeley are getting HAMMERED.

I'd neglected to take a picture of the finished cake before we all tucked into it, but here's the remaining half. I may have overbaked it just a touch; it definitely needed tenting in the oven so it didn't get too brown. Overall, it's delicious and I'll most definitely make this again. 🍽️ 🍜
half of a cake rests on a light blue plate. the top of the cake is golden brown and a bit shiny thanks to an apricot glaze. there is a sprinkling of crumbs on the plate.

friends are coming for dinner so I'm making Apfelkuchen. I have an almond cake that I've put apples into, but wanted to give something else a try. Made the almond paste yesterday and the resulting batter is REALLY tasty. Hope it turns out! Recipe in the comments. 🍽️ 🍜
The unbaked cake is resting on a dark countertop. The top of the cake is decorated with a swirl of apple slices. In the background are a scale, small mixing bowl, and measuring spoon.
