At Last, Another (Bike) Commuter Day

Follow the inevitable radio/gps tracker 

After a hiatus of several days I took the opportunity to ride to work again.  We've been working on the new sewing room addition these last several days.  The new concrete pilings we poured are now all cured and yesterday we cut 4 X 6 and 4 X 4 support posts and installed them with bolt-screw jacks in the top so we could raise the deck a wee bit at a time until it was level again (the NE corner of the deck is the floor of the new room).  Hope to get that all buttoned up and resume work back on the top and inside to get it DONE so we can do something more fun than installing insulation.  BAH
The weather was partly cloudy and beautiful for cycling today.  Enjoyably cool this morning and of course it will be towards uncomfortably warm this afternoon, which I'm about to jump into since it's now time to go home.
I Talked to 2 other hams on bicycles this morning:  Phil W5PWB on HIS way to work, and Mark W5MHG who was out for a joy ride on HIS recumbent cycle.  As we talked on the radio we realized we were all using the same headset and microphone gear, purchased on Ebay from China, where entrepreneurs still lurk.  So it seems.

Ride Home:  Uneventful and Pleasant.  It kept threatening rain but none happened until I got up in Tijeras Canyon on I-40 in the car,.  Bicycle Riding Conditions:  Priceless.
My batteries have been going dead so early recently I thought they must be going bad.  It appears my charger may be the weak point.   Now trying a different charger to see if the batteries will wake up and perform as needed.
