Well…after I got the first bike ride in, I was getting ready to go out for the second one and thought I’d better check the radar real quick with the pop up showers that have been going on the past few days….and just like I thought, the clear skies turned into rain so I put the bike away after I hosed it down to wait for the rain to stop…but 3 more little showers popped up heading this way so I give up…one ride today and that’s okay…I did see a really cool thing on the trail where it runs right along the lake…when I turned a corner, there was a huge sandhill crane just standing in the middle of the trail..it stood 4 to 4 1/2 feet tall and when it took off it’s wingspan was about 6 feet or so…I was a little concerned about how it was going to react to me riding up to it but it just took off and flew away…first time I’ve ever seen that….pretty cool…so now, I’m going to watch a soccer match and do a little cleaning….the US won it’s world cup qualifier last night and are first in their group right now…we may get to the world cup for the first time in 12 years…. and that would be cool….
