Well…another month starts and I am frickin sore today…might even have to take some ibuprofen before I get on the bike today…I was hoping to be able to take a little time off but the rain missed to the north so I’ll be on the bike by 8…not sure if I’ll do three rides today…probably not but we’ll see…got all the work I had to do this week done yesterday other than cleaning in here so a two ride day would help me get that jump started…if my ballot doesn’t get here by Thursday, I’m going over to the city clerk to find out why…they were supposed to be mailed out last Thursday and it shouldn’t take a week to go 4 blocks….it’s going to be down in the 60′s for highs for a while so I’ll need to adjust riding to it and wear some warmer clothes…I am going to buy some rechargeable heated gloves for this winter since I seem to be more sensitive to the cold as I get older…and maybe follow that up with some heated socks…the I could ride comfortably right through the winter if it doesn’t ice the trail over…I can ride the roads here I guess like I did last winter…but I don’t want to think about that right now…still going out in shorts for the next couple of weeks…damn, my right hip hurts this morning…okay…everything hurts and it would be easier to name the parts that don’t hurt…not much to do today…I feel good that I got so much done yesterday but at the end of it, I was so worn out…damn, I hate getting old…just need to do the rides and get the grocery list made up…need to stop at menards tomorrow to get some fencing ties since all of them are missing where I removed the shrub yesterday…and I’m missing a lot of them all along the fence….more later…
