“Twilight Clouds” Cedar Park, 2021
The crazy weather makes for some dramatic clouds. I enjoy them very much!

A few months ago I bought some new running shoes to replace my current shoes. I actually didn’t need the new ones right away, but I had a 20%-off coupon to use and the shoes were in stock so I decided to buy them and just wait until my current shoes start breaking down.
Well, that time is nearing and I’ve been getting reminders from Strava about it:
I think I can wear my beloved blue On Running shoes for a month or so, but I’ll start to transition to the new black pair, maybe alternating between the two. BTW, my On Cloud shoes are the best running shoes I’ve ever owned. I hope this new updated model is at least as good as the old!
If you are on Strava, let’s connect so that we can cheer each other on!

Tonight I made oyakodon 親子丼 for the kids and I using a recipe from Just One Cookbook and it turned out pretty good! The recipe is for 2 servings, and uses two chicken thighs, but I upped the quantity to three.
However, after I defrosted the thighs, I noticed that it was more like 5 thighs, and not 3, so when I made the dish, the sauce wasn’t as flavorful as it should have been. It still tasted great. But I’ll remember to make more sauce or use the right amount of chicken.

“Front-End-Friday” is sort of a prompt in the cycling community for posting pictures of the front of your bicycle to Reddit or other social platforms. Sometimes it’s a POV photo of the handlebars, and other times, it’s just a photo like the ones I took of Sophie today.

Because it was so hot and getting dark, I just rode to the nearby elementary school to take the photos. I don’t think they came out good enough to post to Reddit, but it was a fun excuse to get out and ride.
As a bonus, I made another video and learned a bit about how to position the camera using the clamp mount. It’s fun to try new things!
I hope you had a good day. またね~

The daytime temperatures in central Texas are reaching 100°F these days. I enjoy the heat, but it’s getting a bit much. The extreme weather and continuing pandemic are alarming when you take a moment to think about it. 😯
