Month: June 2019

If you put all of the pieces together you may get a working printer, but if you don’t you just get a mess. I was going to be productive today and then things went off the rails. Cancer… will do that.

In case you were worried, no, I don’ t have cancer. But I found out today that a friend does. It was unexpected. And I’d be lying if I said it didn’t really suck. So, I just took something apart while trying to process it. And I got a stack of parts that made this picture. Because, sometimes things just fall apart, when you least expect it.

It is odd that it is this late in the year and today is the first time I rode my bike up Emigration Canyon. This ride and Millcreek have been two of my staple rides for years. I used to ride both with Matt.

Matt called Emigration a big chainring canyon. Although, today it was a small ring climb. But I got to ride with the Huntsman Heroes. If I can’t ride with Matt, this is the group that I want to ride with.

It was a beautiful day and a lovely climb.

I don’t know what this flower is. It looks like it might be a sauerkraut plant though. These just came into bloom recently and I thought it would make a pretty picture. So, I took one of it.

Today I found out that the daughter of a friend just had some surgery done because of her breast cancer. Cancer always sucks, but it’s always worse when it touches the lives of those you love and the lives of people close to them. Often my pictures have been whatever idea comes to mind for the day. But today, I just want to let them know I am thinking about them. So this one is for you guys. I hope that everything turns out well. I know how hard it can be going through this stuff.

Grief is a funny thing. Not funny ha-ha. After Matt died it took me months before I could go into the bike shop. It’s weird how things trigger some pretty powerful emotions even years later. Today has been a rough day for some reason. I wish I could put my finger on just what it was that got me down but it’s been a rough day and I’ve been wishing my brother was around to talk to about things.

Since I’ve been feeling a bit downhearted I made this broken heart.
