1st Dawn Patrol of ‘25 Super heckin clumsy early in the morning. Four jackrabbits. Don’t mean to scare trail runners but they’ve got earbuds in and can’t hear my bell 🤷‍♂️ #cycling #mountainbike

Full-suspension turquoise mountain bike with Maxxis tires resting on a rocky, dirt trail at sunset. Rugged rock formations and desert vegetation surround the bike, with a sweeping valley visible in the distance under a bright, low sun.

#Spyro breaks from Tekken continue to be fun. I was worried I’d have to chase this egg thief around tiny ledges! #gaming

Tekken Tourney: So nervous lost my voice. 1st match got killed, but the guy went on to finals and I won 1 round, so that’s alright. Fiancee got me water and I could talk again. Losers bracket got to 1-1 with a chance to move on. Lost, but very close, so happy with that. #tekken #gaming #fgc

The local fighting game club is having a big event Saturday that includes a #Tekken tournament! Usually they only do street fighter and guilty gear and it’s really frustrating. So I’m super nervous but gonna give it a go I think. Quite possibly get demolished but that’s ok. #fgc #gaming

After a discouraging losing streak in unranked, I went into ranked and faired much better. I was facing a demotion match, but fought it off and am hovering at the top of red still 😅 I want to try warming up with drills instead of unranked I think, as it can get so frustrating. #tekken #gaming #fgc

6/7/2015 1st time I rode around the lake. Training this year is going well. Time change will help for weekday rides outside on the mountain bike tho gotta keep doing the road bike. Different fitness, with MTB being lots of on/off power on the bumpy trails; whereas rode is a constant effort. #cycling

Yes! I haven’t seen season 5 yet tho. Its release was so delayed, then I was battling a long injury since 2020 and too sad since I wasn’t biking. But now I’ve been back on the bike and have started over from the beginning to show my fiancee (I was in YowaPeda cosplay when we first met! 😅 ).

Fun #Tekken match from last night. I feel like I need to get more move variety, tho it could seem so familiar to me as I’m getting more time with Paul. And also if it works this well, use it till they stop it, right? #fgc #gaming

Happy birthday Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! What are you looking forward to in part 3? I most want playable Cid. I was so excited to get to him in Rebirth, but had to manage my disappointment at not having him more directly involved. But they say playable Cid & Vincent are coming, so excited for that!

The challenge is to choose 20 games that greatly influenced you. One game per day, for 20 days. Day 14 is Dance Dance Revolution! Such fun, happy memories with these games! Had a group of friends who would get together and stomp the night away. Still going strong in arcades! Such special games.

What does everyone think of Anna for Tekken 8, season 2? She reminds me of the singer Saffron, which is really cool. Clobbering people with the bazooka is fun, tho I’m not a fan of the projectile. Excited for season two to get here! #tekken #fgc #gaming

September 9, 2018: the last time I rode around the lake. Crazy it was so long ago. Illness, pandemic, chronic foot pain, and the time went by in a blink. I registered to do the ride this year, June 1. Got my training progression mapped out on my calendar, should be able to build up to it. 🙏 #cycling

Speaking of Katamari Damacy, I kept seeing this dakimakura at various anime conventions we went to. I kept cracking up & joked about getting it, but my fiancee was an absolute NO. But then at one con I mentioned it yet again and the rest of our cosplay friends were like GET IT. So they enabled me 😅

First cross country ski in five years!!! Feet held up well, just the overall fitness now. I knew Nordic skiing made me tired, but wow 😵 I am moving super slow on my way to a nap 😅 Hope to try XC skiing a couple more times this year.

Co op #gaming last night with my fiancée. Sackboys Big Adventure is a wonderful 3D platformer with up to four player cooperative gameplay. We’ve been working on it off and on for a while now. She’s all about getting 100% for every level, so that’s been fun.
