    drive was ok but long. there is road construction on weekdays. nothing major but here and there especially mountain passes since this dry and warm time of year. . 12 delightful hours . it was 90-105 degrees for more than half the way, a big reason for why we left. it was sunny too...

    we did a tough mt bike early this morning, the 6 mile road that we did when we were here 6 weeks ago. this time we didnt do anything active and decided to ride as the first and only thing. the altitude made it harder than usual. it helps to acclimate by doing lighter exercise first...

    Let me clarify. the mice are not in a "usable" part of the hot tub. the tub itself and a panel for electrical connections etc were pristine. when the whole tub is going to the dump, all the outside structure supporting the tub is removed. that is where the mice lived. the whole tub...
