I've done all I can do...

Well, at this point I've done all I can do to get us to the Bike Safari. Now whether or not we have a good time is entirely up to fate. I hope this isn't another Presley vacation! The long term forecast is for much warmer weather than last year. I had planned on taking the camper to offset the cold nights. Right now I'll be wishing for some air conditioning. I think if we leave around 9am, that should put us down there by 6pm after our stops and such. At that time I'll still have a little daylight to put up the camper. Who knows? If David sleeps or travels well maybe we get there sooner. Last time we were pretty late setting up. Then the heavy dews wet everything so much and then the cold made your hands so numb it was very difficult. The cool evenings ran you into some fleece pretty early.

With the forecast highs in the 80's and lows in the 60's, there might be some need for a little heat in the camper. But if highs make the 90's like they have here then I expect the family will be less pleased. Like I say, I've done all I can. Now we have to have a good time.

Effigy of Grief

  Effigies are used in grieving by  providing a tangible representation of what has been lost, allowing a mourner to connect with who or what they've lost , which can help with the process of acceptance and emotional expression, particularly when the loss is sudden or traumatic;  they can be used to focus grief and memories around a physical likeness, offering a sense of continued presence even in their absence

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. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit.  I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. 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

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.
