Wet Bicycle Path

I didn't include my tracking link this morning since the battery on the electronics seemed to die right after I started pedaling toward work this morning.  It transmitted maybe 3 positions before it died.  After I got to work I started unwrapping the electrical tape from the 10-cell AA Nicad pack and found the main power wire was totally broken on one terminal and the other was dangerously frayed.  Soooo.... During the noon hour I resoldered and repaired them.
Our concrete pilings look great so far.  A few more days of curing and we'll be jacking things up, inserting wooden 4 X 4 support posts, and side braces.  Hopefully then we can finish off the new sewing room and get on with more fun aspects to our lives, like doing a cross country bike ride, a mission for the LDS church,  a Round-the-USA RV trip, etc.

I repaired the torn wires on my rechargeable battery pack during my lunch break but it didn't seem to want to charge well.  It ran down after about a dozen positions reported on the ride back to the car tonight.
Will have to start carrying a spare pack.  Trying a deep  cycle recharge tonight.
The wind was cool, very strong, and from the east instead of the usual out-from-the-west wind.  Slowed me down considerable.......
