Well…trying to fight off the guilts still and that may end up with going out for another ride…but, I am still frickin exhausted from all of the work yesterday and not getting any sleep last night…and I haven’t been able to take a nap yet today so I thought I’d come here and do one of these while I think…there has been a little weirdness on the trail this week that I have kept forgetting to talk about so I think I’ll do that now…a couple of days back, while I was heading up my long uphill sprint, I looked up and there was a deer just sauntering across the trail seemingly not bothered by my passing and that distracted me for a bit so I didn’t notice a skunk crossing the trail just in front of me..and that was a little unusual since I see lots of wildlife but never any skunks on the trails…luckily, he was pretty focused on getting hidden in the brush so no problem…just a little way up the trail the weirdness really started when a turkey started running up the trail right in front of me instead of heading into the woods off the trail…I was sprinting over 16 MPH and he was pacing about 10 yards in front of me for almost 30 yards, then took off with leaves being scattered from the vortices from it’s wings…but, he only went up the trail another 20 yards or so and landed to start running again…after I caught up with him, he finally gave up, took off, and flew into the woods…I was laughing the whole time at the absurdity of it…and it still makes me smile…
