Well…up at 5:35 again today and that is to be expected with being good for the first of 5 days…it’s the end of the month and I’m short on these by a few so I just my do a lot of them today…but, I might not with all of the yard work I have to do today…want to get the sidewalks edged and take out more of the trash bushes along with filling and seeding a washout in the front that I’ll have to use a block to stabilize until the grass grows…it’s supposed to rain tomorrow so I want to feed the lawn with fall food, too so it will be a two ride day to get all that work done…I will be able to get out as out as soon as it’s light since it’s 56 out there right now but it crashes down into the 60′s for highs for the next two weeks and I think the warm is going away for the year…as it should be since it’s October tomorrow…it is such  a process to get ready to get on the bike every morning starting with doing my teeth, then biofreeze on my neck, then voltaren on my right thumb and elbow along with 100 sunscreen everywhere…tried 50 for one ride yesterday and got burned so no more of that…old bodies take a lot of work to keep them moving…just like old cars…I won’t say “not much to do today” since I have a lot to do and need to get started on it as soon as the second ride is done at 9:30 or so and I’ll keep working right through lunch…I’m hoping my absentee ballot gets here today along with my 4 new covid tests I ordered Friday…still need to get the parts for rebuilding the bike and that will be a project for this week….more later…
