An hour motorcycle ride

 



I did 27 km in 50 minutes 

The bridge was tensely coming back going there I was with the wind and coast down the hill. At 80 km/h. But coming back up I could only go 60 km/h cause the wind was blowing at me. Which is normally the case.


I stopped at Walmart pick up some nicotine patches and nicotine lounges to help me lower my smoking below 5 cigarettes a day. Hopefully around 3-4 cigarettes would be ideal.


Took the 🏍️ motorcycle and had a blast πŸ’₯ it’s one way not to smoke I find.

Either that or get a whole new car and promise that I won’t smoke in it. And we have all seen how that goes.

I end up smoking in it.

Better a bike that makes it impossible to smoke and drive.


A friend and my dad 

Have encouraged me to lower or quit again. So another time to try I suppose.


It just some people never get off nicotine. So here I am buying a life time supply of NRT(nicotine replacement therapy)

I’m cutting back from a high amount of smoking to a low amount.  Will see how these next few days are and see if it will be completely.  But here hoping for another big change for the summer til winter stresses add up, or it just gets dark out and harder to quit, but I’m also hoping it will decrease my coffee consumption which is suppose to effect my meds in a negative way.

Any way I had a fun time in the motorcycle 

For a bike that is pushing exhaustion at 70km/h with me on it, I think it likes me going 60km/h rather than anything higher.  Or it doesn’t get the wables it just sounds like the engine is going hard.

It’s not meant to cross the bridge I find unless I want to be whissed more than public urinal.  I was hoping for a break in traffic but there was none. I was in the lead, everyone was behind me passing me.


Such is my luck πŸ€ 

The wind blowing you could feel it, but no different than a car or van when I drive for work.  It is a light bike.  I could use a bit heavier one.


But sticking to the dual purpose bikes for sure.

A dr 650 I got my eye set on.

The TW 200 is a great bike and is perfect for city life. I’d just like to pick up treats for Kim around the province. Since it be a fun scenic drive that I’d do. Take back roads and make a day of it.

In near one hour I spent 362 calories.

Average speed was 31.5 km/h

That is on whoop-up and scenic driving

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
