Not much to report lately. The saddle sore I got during ALC6 has finally gone away so I can ride again. Thank God! What will suck is that for the next six weeks they will be replacing the elevators in my apt building. That means lugging the bike up/down 8 flights of stairs every time I want to go for a spin. Oh well. The extra cardio will do me some good. I’ll be at the Manhattan Beach Grand Prix taking pics this weekend. I’ve got a social outing with the BF gang the week after that. The piece de resistance will be a weekend of cycling/water skiing/wake boarding/drinking on Lade Mead July 28th. I’m really looking forward to that. I’m already getting threats of video posting should I experience any spectacular flips or falls on the water. I’ll just have to make them look intentional. 
I did get another bike computer this week, a Polar CS400. It’s got heart rate monitor and altimeter, although I’m not too sure about the accuracy of altimeters that use barometric pressure. It apparently thinks there’s a 20 ft difference from my bed to the bathroom.
I got some nutritional supplements from Udo’s Choiceto help bring my cholesterol and blood pressure down. I need to order a cholesterol test kit so I can track the changes from home. Twice a day I make a shake with 12oz water, 1 cup of Quaker Oats uncooked, 2 scoops of protein, 1 tbsp Udo’s Choice Wholesome Fast Food Blend (fiber supplement), 1 tbsp flax oil and some flavoring. It’s not an ice cream smoothie by any stretch but two of those daily knocks out most of my daily nutritional requirements and it’s down in 3 minutes anyway. I’m also taking niacin, red yeast rice and a liver cleansing supplement. The protein powder has vitamins added.
