Well…damn, running late already and there is no way I’m going to get on the bike by 7…allergies are terrible this morning and my eyes feel like they’re filled with sand…and it’s only 57 degrees and that is just not normal for August in Michigan…I think I’m going to refresh the sunscreen after every ride today and see if that will keep me from getting burned and allow me to get some yard work done today…going to start taking the garden out and that will take the stress of trying to keep it alive away….just a crappy year and I’m tired of it…the grind of the last 1,000 miles on the bike starts today and every day will make a new mileage record but I’m pretty worn out so I may take my foot off the gas a bit and let some healing start…I do need to grill today to get the food stocks replenished…more chicken thighs and pork loin fillets and I do need to assemble the potato salad and think about making more potato soup…but right now I just want to sit here for a bit…riding is starting to feel like a full time job and that’s not right…oh, well…more later…
