The needs of the many...

Today I went out to help with the trail building and had a really good morning in the cool air. I was still undecided about my future employment but was looking for the last piece of information to make the decision come into focus. Then I got back home and flipped on the television to see the Star Trek movie where Spock dies. It is one of my favorite movie scenes. The moment I saw the movie title I remembered that line. Truly the needs of the many have influenced my decision. The many I work with. My family. My own schedule of riding and things I enjoy. So even though I may have regrets for staying, I'd probably have more regrets for leaving. So there it is.

So since my 2nd retirement I've hit the trails and weights. My goal, to return to my fitness level of 2024 Summer when I hiked in Canada...
