Cold snap...

After a week of recuperating from inhaling that paint thinner, I find myself on a week of cold weather. I checked the temps for Live Oak and Madison, Florida. They are having the same weather as here. Lows in the 30's and 40's. That would be some brisk mornings. Next week, when we would have had the ride, it will probably be perfect weather. Maybe Bev and I can bundle up in the morning and get in some small ride.

Leo is gone. The combination of deafness and sleeping by the wheel of my truck spelled doom. How I hate it happened. The little guy had a tough life. I hope the last year of kindness and treats were a joy to him. How he managed to sleep through me banging the tailgate shut and starting the engine is a mystery to me.

All the work for the metric century produced small results. If it weren't for our members riding, we wouldn't have broken even. Maybe next year will bring better weather and better participation.

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day.

Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

By
So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
