Saturday, while I was in the Barton Creek greenbelt in Austin, someone attempted to burgle my truck. Fortunately a fellow rock climber witnessed the act and scared the perpetrator away - unfortunately he did not get the perpetrator’s buddy’s truck license plate.
This all happened about 5 minutes before I showed up. Bummer. Had I not tried to go after that one geocache, I might have seen them in the process of jacking my truck. That would’ve been interesting.
I wonder how I’d react when confronted with someone breaking into my vehicle.
They didn’t get in to the truck, but they did do some body damage to the truck door. I don’t have comprehensive insurance coverage, so I’ll be footing the bill on the repairs myself. Hope it won’t be too expensive.

Last wednesday I picked up my old habit of mountain biking again - I’d started a couple months ago, with some bouldering, but tweaked my right shoulder and was taking it easy. I rode the St. Edwards Park trail from one end to the other - followed by a short loop around the lower end of the park.
Last monday Daniel went with me to ride the full-length trail twice, back to back - it was a nice workout, not too warm, not too muggy.
The plan is to do this three times a week, interspersed with bouldering/climbing on the weekends.
It seems that mountain biking and climbing are the only sports that I can consistently keep doing. I’m looking forward to getting into a bit better shape. :)
