Well…I blame Manchester United for me going out to ride 38 miles today…they just sucked so bad I couldn’t watch it so I got back on the bike and did the extra 12 1/2 miles…I did see 4 deer and the tiniest little hatchling turtle today so that was cool…it was about the size of a quarter just crawling across the trail so I stopped to take a photo of it to post to Mastodon…so tonight I start my 5 days in a row with no cocktails to try to settle into the new pattern…it was funny when I read an article today that gave the recommended amount of booze you can safely drink in a day…and it said 4 cocktails a day for men is just peachy but then the article went on to say that any amount of alcohol is bad for you because it causes elevated rates of cancer of all types…hell, on a big cocktail night I don’t drink 4 of them so that’s pretty weird…but I’m going to stick with the new pattern and only have cocktails 2 days a week…feel a lot better in that pattern and it’s good for me to dry out completely for a while…didn’t get anything done today but the rides and putting some weedkiller on some weeds that had popped up but tomorrow I’m going got attack the trash shrubs in my fence with the sawzall and get at least two of them completely out so I can bundle them up to put out tomorrow…and tomorrow is going to be the last day of the year where it is going to be 80 then we go down into the 60′s for highs until mid October…won’t mind that at all but I’ll have to start wearing a fleece in the mornings and I haven’t had one of those on since May…oh, well…
