Saturday Slumming

APRS and GPS Tracking Route Today
As is normal lately, today's title has nothing to do with what we did, I just like the alliteration thing.  So Shoot Me.
In spite of being a bit tired from our 27-miler yesterday, Jacque decided she wanted to ride down to Cedar Crest to run a few errands.  In spite of knowing I would not be able to get anything else done, around the house or otherwise, I decided to go with her on the tandem.  Glad I did.  As usual, it was exhausting but fun.  All kinds of nice comments and instant friends everywhere we stopped, and a few others withOUT stopping.
A mild scare when we attempted to cross North-14 to enter the Triangle Grocery parking lot:  We couldn't move.  When  Jacque looked it over the second time, she was horrified to see our rear (driver) wheel had come loos and flopped slaunch-wise in the bike frame.  Luckily nothing was bent or broken, and I only had to release the already-loose quick-release lever and realign and retighten the wheel.  Working fine again.  Thank You, Heavenly Father.
