Well…up early this morning to the beautiful sound of rain hitting my siding after not getting any rain here for 16 days…not sure if it will save my lawn but it looks like it’s going to continue for a few hours so the first ride may end up being indoors for the first time in quite a while…and that will be okay after coming back into a 25 mph wind…twice…yesterday and that has left me sore everywhere…so sore that I’m going to take an ibuprofen here in a minute…my hands even hurt from pulling so hard into the wind…it still feels good that I can still do it so I’ll stop bitching now…I did sleep okay and even had a few dreams that I can’t remember and feel pretty good as the coffee goes down pretty easily…the truck race was rained out and was rescheduled for this morning at 8am so I really need to do an indoor ride to keep the string alive until I go to Italy in September…so that means I need to get off my butt and get on the bike by 7am but the weight work needs to be done before that so I’ll have one more cup of coffee before I get started…I do need to cook today and I think I’ll make my chicken, potato, and carrot concoction I make in my big frying pan with pasta sauce and water…haven’t made that in a while and it’s an easy one that I just need to load up and simmer for a couple of hours…need to remember the garlic and bay leaves…and I do need to brown the chicken in olive oil before the veggies and sauce goes in…may even add some rice at the end with some added water to make it even tastier…more later…
