FROM THE STUDS

NOTHING MAKES A SPOUSE GIDIER THAN THE WORD REMODEL.  I'm not sure it even matters what is being upgraded, I just know... 

... work, investment and upgrade are magic words.

There's a...

• start date,
• an end date
• and blueprints

... then the work begins.

A complete remodel means stripping everything down the to studs.

I think I'm there...

• pneumonia
• double vision
• associated weight loss

... it could be worse, but, the studs do seem exposed.

It's time to rebuild.

Start date is now.

Pneumonia will hopefully clear in a week or so.

Vision therapy starts this week.

Any remaining vision complications from October's brain surgery should clear no later than April.

The blueprint, my calendar, is looking like this.

I think I can be somewhat ready for action when Sea Otter rolls around in April.  

Seems like a worthy goal to be ready,
and a super stretch goal to get a coin for Unbound.

The next step, would be to roll into the last 3 BWR races - CA, UT and MT,
the super stretch goal would be to get on the series podium.

How do I plan to get that done...

... follow my RaceDay Ready program.

So, what's the end date... 

... the big reveal?

Septemer.

First, Gravel Nats,
with the super stretch goal of winning.

(major imposter syndrome kicking in that)

Second, break my PR on SurfNSummit,
with the super stretch goal of breaking 10 hours.

(this I REALLY want to accomplish)
