Time Tested

Much like the paw of my faithful pooch Baloo, Jill and I are getting a
lesson in testing time. 40 weeks of build up, and we wait. Tomorrow we
visit the doctor to see what wisdom they can instill in two anxious
people, until then we wait.

Jill at 9 months

Tomorrow (Sunday) is our official due date. Doesn't look like its gonna happen, but it could start at any moment so we are going through the motions of getting prepped. We've got the car seat installed, we've packed a bag to take, camera batteries are charged, etc. Jill thinks we are a week off. I think we are 5 days off (my guess is July 25th).

Before we left to catch Batman: The Dark Night this morning, I grabbed the camera to get another progression shot of Jill. She looks great, and has really had a great pregnancy thus far. We're in the home stretch, and both just very excited to get this little guy here so we can start tormenting him.

Ned follow up

After nearly walking out the door to ride the road this morning, I picked up the phone and told John that we should ride something on the mountain bikes. It was going to be hot today, and I couldn't spend my potential last free Friday churning along on asphalt. So up we went to Nederland for some West Mag sweetness.

JP took it pretty easy on me, which is a good thing. My form is fading fast, but I still get out there and try to turn the cranks. We did some "new to me" stuff today, which was great. I've never had a bad day when I've ridden new trail, and today was no exception.

Here is the elevation graph from today


Here is a quick iPhone photo of The Punisher approaching the turn


And just like that he's gone. This is the view I normally have of John.

Ned-itation with The Punisher

In what could be my last venture into the wilderness for a bit, John
and I headed up to Nederland to escape the heat and ride some fine
singletrack.

I didn't bring a big camera today, so I just snapped a couple shots
with the iPhone camera.

More details to come in a later post...

Mobile blogging test

Just doing a quick test of blogging from my iPhone. I am going to try
and get better at doing more real time blogging and less catching up
posts. Let's see how that goes with a newborn...
