Well…damn, it almost 1:30 in the afternoon and I’m still drinking coffee since I did the three rides indoors without stopping to have coffee in between them…and that gets me down to 64 miles left to go and I’ll only have 18 to do Friday to make it…I did wash the outdoor bike yesterday and didn’t want to get it dirty so I left it at that…it is sprinkling out here and I sure didn’t want to get wet at 40 degrees…I did run out and get the ingredients I forgot for the two batches of soup I’m making this week starting with the turkey soup tomorrow…was going to experiment a little on the turkey soup but it is already great the way it is so the experimenting will wait until I do the ham soup over the weekend…going to use some new kinds of beans instead of the kidney beans I normally use…I have cans of great northern, black, and garbanzo beans…or chickpeas that I’m going to put in and that will be one more can than I normally use…needless to say, this batch is going to be extra hearty with extra ham, too…might end up more like a stew but that’s okay…I did find a Larry Niven novel in the books I bought last year called “The Mote in God’s Eye” that has a forward by Heinlein who called it the best sci fi novel ever…so that gets started today along with Heinlein’s “Friday” that I got this year…so with all of the groceries I got today, I don’t have to leave this place for a couple of weeks and I am looking forward to that…just cooking, cleaning, and reading…maybe that will help my BP…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
