Weird. A MONTH without riding?

First, our excuses:
-We both came down with the deep-chest-congestion miseries immediately after getting home from our short Labor Day weekend excursion to Chama.
-Immediately after starting to recover from THAT, Jacque caught the dreaded Norovirus "Vomiting Virus" that knocked HER out of action, again, for at least 3 days.
-During all this time, we have had torrential RAINS almost daily that have been making the weather too cold and wet to consider riding.  We're SO thankful for the rains, but these have been record breaking, almost taking the entire state of New Mexico out of the "Drought" category.  Now, with a few days of rain-free sunlight, we are now grateful the rains have PAUSED for a while.
I had decided I needed to get in at least a short ride, TODAY, no matter what.  As I was checking the tires and chain on the recumbent 2-wheeler I realized "Hey!  Jacque's been feeling better for a few days now, maybe SHE wants to go for a trike ride together!"  And, sure 'nuff, she did, and we did.
The recumbent  Tandem Terratrike  had been left alone and idle under the deck for so long all three tires were low.  A few quick bursts of air from the big Craftsman compressor in the shed took care of all that.
Of course we quickly suffered the consequences of not riding for a while:  Low Output Power from the legs.  The short ride up to the Post Office is deceptively steep and hard even with regular miles piled up on the old legs, and we really felt sluggish and slow and guilty for not being more faithful in our exercise.   We are guilty of the common  lot of man in the Western world:  Too busy to stay healthy.
This cooler fall weather was great today, and it was wonderful to ride without overheating or overcooling.  The doggies Tink and Jazz - as usual - made several new friends at the Shell Station where we partook of our usual break and treats.
I noted, only after returning home to check our Internet Track, that it did not work well at all today.  Only one position was reported by the GPS/APRS/Ham Radio setup, so that's another problem I need to investigate.....
