Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) (Page 90)

Popping in with a Dad update - he's in the hospital and has been since Saturday evening/night.  He's improved since then, but will need to stay in the hospital for a few days yet, I imagine.  The next step isn't set in stone yet, but he likely won't be returning to his home and will need to be in a care facility.  As of now he wants to continue treatment, although there is the theory (by one of the multitude of docs that saw him over the past few days) that his severe pain he was/is experiencing was because of tumor flare from the cancer freaking out about the medicine trying to kill it.  I'm not sure if any doctors shared that info with him now that he is coherent again.  I'll put it on my to do list for tonight's visit.

So sorry to hear that your father is in the hospital and probably not headed back to his own home. But, I will keep my fingers crossed that the proposed theory regarding his pain is correct and everything gets better soon!

Our best career choice is to be who we are. If we are lucky, the rest falls into place after that.

Should any of you want to take a little trip to Colorado in June, the Kaiser Permanente Bacon Burner 6k race is in Frisco, a beautiful mountain town.  Bacon and Skratch is served at the aid station at mile 1.8.  Seems a bit ironic that Kaiser is the title sponsor, doesn't it?!

Did someone say bacon?!  Heh heh, maybe KP is trying to drum up some participants for clinical research studies...

Edited to add: I just clicked the link: bacon AND beer AND bacon apparel?  Maybe next year when I don't have a 70.3 going on in June!

Wha? Are you insinuating bacon is somehow not healthy? 

I'm more of a thick cut pork belly or spam girl myself, but I believe all of those meats (prosciutto too!) to be a staple in my healthy life

My bike is done being powder-coated!

I've got to go pick her up and then reassemble. In the meantime I was really conflicted about what to do about the front fork and handlebars. The fork was super scratched up and ugly but powder-coating is difficult and really not recommended for a suspension piece. So, I was considering rattle-canning it myself but was thinking the process of sanding and taping and then purchasing the paint PLUS my own spray-painting skills might leave it an ugly pain in the butt.

Randomly on my long run Sunday I happened across a garage sale. Only it wasn't just any ol' garage sale, it was a bike mechanics garage sale! And what did I find? A nice shiny clean fork and brand new handlebars - for cheap! 

Skratch recipes do include bacon.

SCORE!

I've been watching the Giro and I have to ask, who is your favorite bike racing announcer? Phil Ligget/Paul Sherwen or Carlton Kirby?

Score indeed!!  Can't wait to see her after the makeover!!

I haven't seen the Giro or ToC yet but I like Phil.  He's classy and knows his stuff. 

Last year they were bringing in some recently retired cyclists and they were just irritating.

Wow, big score!
