Tired Tuesday

Today's limited Tracking

I rode off again today towards Balloon Fiesta Park but ran out of time and turned back for home at the Paseo fork-in-the-trail.
It was 50 degrees according to the outside thermometer today and it was downright COLD even with the windbreaker  on.  Of course  this didn't prevent me from getting sweaty later on in the ride.
When I woke up this  morning I was sleepy and wanted to lay in the sack a while longer but I do so want to keep my A1C and blood glucose in  better control.
The stiff breezes, mild though they were, kept the Balloons from launching on time this morning.
When they finally did, after I got back to the RV, dozens of hot  air balloons floated right over the top of us as we were eating breakfast.  We were sitting at the breakfast  table and heard the loud WHOOSH of a hot air balloon  burner and realized  they were very close.  One was just 50 or so  feet above our heads and waved and shouted "Hello!" back at us.  The other office missionaries came outside in a  few minutes and  enjoyed the  low flying balloons as they floated overhead  at  seemingly low altitudes.  Great stuff, one of the benefits of living in the Albuquerque area.
