First August Entry 2015

Actually 3 August now so weekend recap & the next new weeks plan(s).

Did a long training ride in the morning on Saturday meeting all goals but whipped. Rode three (3) hard hours, reached 60+ km which was nearly right at 40 miles which was all good. Weight check immediately afterwards was 78 kg (171.6 actual pounds) so slowing getting towards those goals as well. Most of those fluids were replaced promptly.

Worked a number of the projects. Fired up the chain saw & cut up the fallen branch from the neighbors bradford pear for firewood. Trimmed that youpon holly tree out front so I wouldn’t knock my head on it while mowing the lawn. Big whack there.

Also spent a little time on the cosmic reef. Not enough however to mark significant progress. Maybe today or this week. Same with the View from Dukes. That momentum has fallen back off the table.

Into & out of the lagoon kept things somewhat cool.

Mass was Sunday morning & looks like it will be for a while. Cooler morning air, much less traffic therefore much more comfortable. Saturday afternoons in the Summer are too brutal to get dressed uo & go out so I will wait until the weather patterns change before returning to Saturday vigils regularly.

Today is Martha Stewart’s birthday. See birthday girl left. I looked for a photo in stripes but apparently those have been scrubbed off of the free internet.

Birthday greetings also going out to Patty who this weekend is taking a short Holiday in the Land of the Golden Gopher or the Land of 10,000 lakes.

Still lost ? MINNESOTA. She returns late tonight.

What else ?

Oh, biggest news … Emma has checked in state side. She arrived safely followed closely by Sir Ron and they are on the run touching bases with Fam & friends. Best estimate without giving away exact locations is that they are somewhere between Lubbock & Oregon.

Gots to run. This is as up to date as you get for the time being. I have some other correspondances to do plus I need to get outside & after a few little things before it warms up.

The training ride Saturday made Sunday a recovery/rest day so today I need to pick it back up. One can only play teh 'recovery' card so often.

Assorted other little minutia also await but I cannot bore readership with all that right now.

I have no idea what picture I am going to use …
