Today's Tracking via APRS and Ham Radio
Wow, another whole week between bike rides. It's a wonder why I can't find time enough to stay healthy.
After several weeks of total drought, we had great rains, slow and gentle except for high winds bringing in the storm-clouds.
(Evidently we escaped central Texas just in time last week, as the news reports iced storm-blocked roads with stranded motorists all over I-45).
Everything here is soaked and smelling like recent rain, but our goat-path dirt/rock/ravine road did not suffer much, if any, damage. Even the usual mud puddle at the bottom of the road just before climbing up to the pavement of Frost Road was minimal, with just enough semi-dry car-tire tracks to ride the bike through without getting everything covered in mud.
I had planned to take a selfie of me and Jazzy (our nearly-new pipsqueak puppy) but neglected to do so. Jacque recently found a belly-bag papoose-style doggie carrier that works quite well for the little stinker. She tends to whine and fuss if mounted up in behind us in the basket but does very little complaining (and screaming at othere dogs we encounter while riding) in this belly-pouch.
I also forgot to take any water along, so I cut the ride short at about 10 miles round trip because I didn't want to get too dehydrated.
Beautiful day for riding, though. Just cool enough to keep me mostly comfortable, and without any layers other than street clothing and one of my Jacque-modified glow-yellow tee shirts with the middle cut open and velcro sewed into the resulting seams so I can open and close the shirt as needed for ventilation purposes.
