Well….damn, my whole chest hurts from coughing again yesterday and last night and it is all from working in my own personal Chernobyl downstairs for only a half hour yesterday…and now I’ll be suffering all day today and probably for another week until my body recovers….but, I’m almost done down there so my exposure will be pretty limited until I’m done…slept okay last night and don’t feel really crappy today… a little crappy, but I can live with that….didn’t get out on the bike yesterday with all the rain but I am going to try to get out as soon as it gets light since it is 66 out there right now and I can get out for the last time in a shorts and a t-shirt if I can beat the rain and storms that are coming in…it’s going to be a race but I won’t feel bad if I don’t get out…there is a long line of storms and rain that are just to the northwest and the weather channel says it may storm around 10….then the temp is going to plunge later in the day and I’ll be back to full thermasuit tomorrow…I did make pasta sauce with my veggies yesterday and it came out good but forgot to put sugar in it to compensate for the bitterness of the tomatoes…but I fixed that after lunch and that made it much better…and I’m going to cook over the weekend…have a whole chicken to get in the brine tomorrow and I need to make chili with some burger that I have thawing downstairs and I’ll use up the rest of my tomatoes…dicing them to replace the canned ones I normally put in….not much to do today…just want to get a ride in before I start thinking about the rest of the day….more later….
