Well…it’s been a really nice day today and started out good with getting out on the bike around 8am…it was still cold at 51 degrees but I know how to dress for it so no big deal…and, by the time I got back here after the first ride, it was warm enough for just a t-shirt and shorts and I had hit 1,000 miles for the year on the first ride…had Joe Walsh on the player all morning since I needed a little lift after being so exhausted yesterday…on the way back from the second ride, I was riding along the shore of Muskegon Lake and a stoat ran across the trail in front of me with a garter snake in it’s mouth…a stoat looks just like a ferret since they are both in the same family of weasels, but it has silky brown fur that looks cool…after it crossed the trail, he hid in the big granite rocks that protect the trail from the waves and kept popping his head out between them…while this was happening, a nodding acquaintance walked up and I told him about it…this is the guy who pointed out an eagle roosting in a tree above the trail a few years back and who I see almost every day…and this turned into a half hour conversation where I found out his name was Bruce and he lived over in Lakeside…pretty cool…and when I got back here my neighbor Dan was working in his yard and we stopped to talk for a nice conversation since I hadn’t seen him since winter…it’s funny that he took a stainless steel tub like they have on farms (3 feet deep) and turned it into a pool with a sand filter and everything sitting in their driveway…after that I went out to aldis to replace the moldy bread and get some chicken and asparagus to have later in the week…and I had a hoot in the car with the top down…and I’ve even had a couple of hours to read…just a good day…and my laptop just froze up and I remembered what the tech told me to do last time and I fixed it myself…yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
