Well…I still have to remind myself when I get depressed about how little progress I’m making on the house that I am still making progress…and today, the project was to clean up and repaint the downspout I found buried behind the garage…wasn’t even going to try to hang it today but it was dry when I got back from the second ride and I decided to just finish it and hang it….and it was pretty easy…only took about 10 minutes from start to finish and it looks pretty good and completes that side of the house…I’ve always hated the hole that was there without it and the water running off the roof left an algae streak down the side of the house…had to clean that off with a wire brush before I hung the spout and that  got rid of one more dingy thing that should have been taken care of….so, when I sit down and think about it, I did get a lot done today…I did get the lawn mowed first thing…then on the bike for the first ride, then painted the downspout… swept out the garage, then made lunch and then back on the bike for another 15 that damn near killed me on the last climb but I survived it…then hung the downspout, cleaned up everything, and now back here for this one…so maybe I won’t get to a political one today…I did get to 950 miles for the year so far so it looks like I may be able to get to 1,000 before the end of April….man, I’m sore…
