Well….woke up to a surprise that was not a good one…the car was covered in snow and I don’t have the snowies on yet…but, it was almost melted off by the time I got back here…and I ran it around yesterday with no problems…the noise is still there at startup but I am much less worried about it….felt pretty good when I got up this morning and slept pretty good last night and that is a relief…I think the last vestiges of the bug are gone and that helps…just coughed a little yesterday and the lungs feel okay today…not sure if I’ll get out on the bike today since it is still cold and raining now….but, I’ve got the whole day so maybe this aft….not sore at all today…at least right now but both elbows hurt when I got up…I know why so that’s okay….just have cleaning to do today…and a little cooking so it looks like an easy one….more later….
