Extending the #weekendchat, let's chat what's something nice that you did - or are just about to do - that gave you a sense of contentment or satisfaction? I took advantage of the warm day to take another bike ride up the mountain, felt really good to get out. How about you?

It’s a warmish Sunday here after a cold snap, went for a mountain bike ride. Felt really good to get out and into the woods.

A view past bike handle bars through a break in the forest to Heidelberg castle and the historic old town. Leaves changing in the fall.

Some personal good news to share, starting a new position in January, joining a company here in Heidelberg. Strategic Product Management for their core product line, which is an exciting opportunity, can’t wait! Here’s to finding a path through the clouds, celebrating the sunshine when we find it.

Winding road ahead along a hillside into the distance, under a cloudy sky, with rays of sun off into the distance. The hills above Barcelona.

Great trip mountain biking above Barcelona this week. Heading home tomorrow, but lots of trails to come back and try next time!

Week in Barcelona with family, taking a deep breath through some possible big job changes (cross your fingers for me!). And through the rest of these stressful times…

If you see this, post a picture taken in the mountains. Shot in Whistler BC.

Rain broke, and got the bike up the mountain for the first time in a while. Great ride, easy to forget how good it feels.

Peak of Ölberg, above Schriesheim and the old quarry.

Bluesky running on Schrödinger’s servers, both added and not? :D Temporal hiccups in my Discovery feed. @pfrazee.com

Two posts from Bluesky at almost the same time, saying that new severs have been added, and that no new servers have been added

Good ride on the new bike today, Cube 155 e-mtb. Buttery smooth, 20k lab of the new Weißerstein trails, 600m of climb. Figure I’ve got one or two more rides before I’m back to work on Monday. Shameless zoom on the liquid red effect in the sun. ;)

Sometimes it’s hard to get up and organized to go for a ride in the forest, but I’m always glad I did.

Listening to the rain, thinking of fall trips in years gone by. Leaves changing on the vines in Cochem, in Germany on the Moselle river. (Reposted with alt text)
