Wednesday's Riding Route Tracking

Today's Routing, Twice Ridden

Jacque today suggested we use the trikes to deliver a shelf to a nearby friend that Jacque had cleaned up and painted for her. 
It required the use of the B.O.B. trailer but what the heck?  Even a short ride with a "cargo" is a great excuse to get out and pedal around somewhere.
After delivering this not too heavy load, we rode a tad farther across a few streets to pick up some free canning jars Jacque had spotted one of our friends giving away.  Nobody was home - so we came back home and rested our feet.
I spent a fair part of the day scrubbing mold from the outer walls of our RV.
In this humid climate, black mold loves to grow on most surfaces.... House walls, Garage walls, RV walls..... mostly on the SHADY side of a structure.  Evidently the mold doesn't prosper well on the sunny side of things.  Which still leaves a lot of surfaces that start looking pretty scruffy unless cleaned.
I've spent a couple days using our garage-sale pressure washer blasting such gunk off our house walls, and it's worked fairly well. 
I started today trying the power washer on the RV walls, and while it worked, it was very slow going with lots of washing and re-washing to get the uttermost gunk off.  I tried a pad of Scotch-Brite on it and found it did a much better job, with only hose water pressure needed to rinse it off completely.
So now the RV looks pretty spiffy... for a while.  We should take a trip in it soon enough to drive it while it still looks fairly mold-free.
This is one of the not-so-nasty areas with spots of mold, you may have to look closely below the window to spot it:

Now the same area after a bit of washing, scrubbing, and rinsing:

NO SPOTS

Resting the aching feet for a couple hours after this effort, we got a text saying our canning jar donor buddies were home, so we took off on the trikes again.
By now the sun had almost set and there was VERY pleasant riding, with the cool and shade and all, with just enough light as the sun was setting to provide very nice visibility.
After another couple hours resting our aching feet, we go to bed.  Naturally
