Well…got out early for the first ride today but coming back into a 15 mph wind was pretty darn brutal so I decided I’d only do one ride today so I could run an errand and then get the lawn mowed and the leaves picked up with the mower…I did get out to Lowe’s to get the device that keeps the big paper bags open with a back splash that is like a funnel and it works really well when dumping the grass catcher into it…pretty cool thing for 10 bucks and is going to make cleaning this place up this fall a lot easier since I am going to have many, many bags of leaves….the mower works well vacuuming the leaves up and that will be my preferred method of getting them up…really hate raking and it hurts my shoulder so I’m going to avoid that as much as possible….I also got the remaining flowers pulled out of the back of the house and cleaned up and now it’s almost 3 and I am done for the day..almost went out for a second ride but I know I have to be careful as I get older…10 years ago there would be no question about going out…I would have gone in a second but I really don’t recover as fast anymore so I have to be smart….but that is disappointing…not used to having to think about what I do for the day…oh, well….
