my brothers and sister. one of us is now a grandfather. I feel old.

the bottom bracket on my bike wore out – not sure what’s happened exactly. the bottom bracket is definitely loose, with noticeable (and scary) wobbling and popping now, making it rather unsafe to ride. maybe worn bearings? something else? I’ll take it into Bow Cycle ASAP for repairs, meaning I’m bikeless for awhile. #cranky.

another summer storm brews over the foothills, before pushing over the city, as seen from across a decidedly empty soccer field.

I was bonked on the ride home. Completely out of gas, so I had to stop to rest briefly under the Stoney Trail overpass. There were lots of other bikes out on the path, which is always great!

definitely feeling old, tired, and worn out today. struggling through caffeine withdrawal. threw my back out this morning. achy. wrinkly. tired. worn.

I wasn’t thrilled with how today’s @dailyshoot shot turned out, so I tried a retake using RAW and a higher ISO/tighter aperture to help sharpen things up a bit. I think my 75-300mm lens just may be the softest damned lens ever made. Lens viagra?
