Tuesday's Track via GPS and Ham Radio
Wednesday's Wild Ride with Passenger Jack
Obviously I haven't recently been a steady blogger about my marvelous pedal-wanderings on my Catrike.
For some reason - even though I'm supposedly retired and doing more work for free than I did when I was fully employed, I keep having trouble finding time to sit down and keep up with blogs and what - have - you.
With several sunny and other "rideable" days, I had little excuse to avoid getting out and around, and at least a minor errand or two for motivations to pedal around.
I'm not real sure what I rode around for on Tuesday, but one of the local banks and a very local grocery store are on that circuit, so maybe that was it.
Wednesday was another GREAT excuse to ride: My buddy Jack, around 5 years old, came to visit while his Mom played sewing machines with Jacque. I waddled into the garage to set up his car-seat in the B.O.B. trailer and by the time I got it set up, out of the garage and rigged up, Jack and Mom were headed out the door. Their car had been left a couple blocks away at the garage, and instead of allowing them to just walk away, I suggested hauling Jack on the trailer while Mom walked and got her exercise. Nobody objected, Jack most importantly, so off we went. We got in almost a mile of zig-zagging around by the time Mom's car was ready.
Now Friday. I pedaled over to my fave local barbershop for a badly needed haircut, but he was booked up for the rest of the afternoon. Disappointed, I started for home and then remembered a place called "The Fade Co." up toward the north end of town. The lady barber there took me for her last customer of the day, and did a nice job on my skull.
Yesterday, Saturday. I wanted to get in s few miles and took off but suddenly noticed some dark fast moving threatening clouds coming in directly overhead and decided to cut it short in hopes of avoiding a soaking. Avoid it I did indeed. When I got home it was beginning to sprinkle and moments after I got safely into the house, the rain stopped and didn't resume.
Go Figure. With my luck, it would have POURED on me if I had kept riding. OH Well.
