Well…damn, getting up at 6 with the heat running on May 18th really sucks…but, I did sleep okay last night so I guess that’s something….and it is finally raining out there and that may save my lawn without spending a hundred bucks to water it…actually feel pretty good this morning and have a little energy for a change….I did start throwing in a recon ride around the city in the evening to start to get a better picture of how to get around here…and it only took a year of living out here to do it….this is a pretty run down city but there are pockets of people trying to make a difference and that is pretty cool to see….I’ve always found that riding is the best way to really see a place since you can take your time to look around without worrying about clogging up traffic…not that there is much traffic around here to clog up….I am still marveling that I’ve done over 10K of these and I will add to that count today with the rain and taking the day off the bike that I really need….I do need to do the grocery run today and stop at Menards to get some shade grass and dirt to do some repairs on the lawn in front of the house where I killed it with salt to keep the walk to the mailbox clear….and there is one more thing I wanted to get from there but I can’t remember it right now…darn….not much to do today….with the rain, I may only be able to get one ride in and that is okay…and I’m really hoping I can’t get any rides in since my legs do need a rest…and I could use some time to clean around here….more later….
