Thursday.

Again, tracker is spotty and needing adjustment
Sunny and cooler this morning after last evening's downpour.  Very humid, but great riding weather.
We'll see what the afternoon ride back brings.
Forgot to mention I saw my first bear out in the open 2 days ago just a couple miles from home.  He was not a big guy, and no fat at all, and he was right next to the North-14 hiway on the north end of Cedar Crest.  I've seen bears roaming a nearby trailer park several years ago, where the dimwit residents love to feed the roaming ursus horriblus "Because They're So Cute".  It's long been a wonder to us that we have yet to have bears visiting our house, what with the dog food, stinky compost pile and such-like in our yard that attracts bears to the surrounding neighbors.  This bear was only 20-30 feet off the roadway as I passed and I could have easily gotten out of the car and hit him with a rock, except for my lack of enthusiasm for becoming bear poop.
