One liner bullet points.
I'm 11 months in on carnivore. Lost over 80lbs to date. Just 10 more lbs to go.
I've been bicycle commuting to work since first week of April 2025.
Im in the beginning stages of filing for VA disability compensation.
Still at same retired guy job. Easy and boring.
The bike ride to and from is best part .
Riding in cold weather is second nature anymore.
I have extreme anxiety, especially when dealing with the bureaucracy of government agencies.
I'm collecting S.S. retirement. First pay was October 2025. I'm 62. Very surprised I've lived this long.
It's winter and it sucks. Overcast most days. Windy most days. Riding my bike helps my otherwise shitty mood.
I put a set of Jones bars on bike, very happy with them. I'm considering a handlebar bag also. I'd like to have a few bike packing things on board semi permanent.
Paragraph,
Picture this, a bike for set up for casual day excursions and exploring. Panniers, 2, trunk rack and bag , seat post bag for tube, tools, etc. Handlebar bag for various items. Possibly a small cooker for making instant coffee, snacks, first aid kit, and whatever else one might need for a day of bicycle travel.
Start in Severna Park and head to BWI airport trail. Hit the roads and head west , Elkridge, Patapisco state park, Ellicott city, wherever. Ride into town, find a spot and park it. Let things play out. I've got food on board, water, dry socks , rain gear, phone camera, a tarp for emergency shelter. I can sit there on a Park bench with snot running down my nose .........
