Well…with the damn heat, I was going to take the day off after the rides but I did get a few things done…well…two things anyway…did the laundry and made another batch of pasta salad so I’d have a side to go with everything else…the pickles I made came out really good…like a spicy Clausens and I think I now have that recipe figured out, too…going to up the vinegar to 3/4’s of a cup for the next batch to give it a little tang and use tons of the pickling spice since that gives it the bite I like…going to make another batch with the 49 cent cucumbers I got at aldis last week..I don’t think I remember bleeding for an entire day after cutting myself but I can now change the bandage without blood just running out of the cut but I still need to be careful to not use the thumb much until it has a few days to heal…I was able to shift the bike using the side of my thumb with no pain and that’s what I was worried about…okay, time for some trashy tv…
