Finally got some RAIN !!

We're considered in the " Extreme Drought" - D3 area.

Ironic, we got so little, and others .......

 

Bicycle!

 

Lots of talk about mowing grass. I fixed all that by hiring it done. Easier on my back and cheaper in the long run. Hint... find one that can/will clean your driveway in the winter. They're usually glad to have winter work.

 

Good Morning Folks.

You are in a drought Tacogent but in New Jersey and New York City they have water to spare .


We have had more than our usual amount here. Have a good day

 

Good morning all.

 

Good morning everyone

Awesome sunrise this morning with blue skies and towering storm clouds forming to the North into Kentucky

 

Morning folks warm and muggy, rain on the way

 

We have a fuel oil supplier fairly close by down route 2/4 a ways. Take 2 5gal jugs when they are empty. Cost earlier this year was around $3.80 a gallon. Going to get gas is always a good excuse to take the wife out to lunch.

Good morning. House is going to be power washed today. Cooking up a rack of pork ribs for dinner.

Yesterday was king of laid back. Bought a bag of Bear Mountain pellets to try them out. Cooked up some chicken thighs for dinner.

 

I do ride, but after years of cycling all over the world, I started developing severe carpal tunnel in both hands back in 1990, so I have needed to be careful not to overdo it. As I've posted about over the last month or so, I recently acquired a 1959 Hercules bicycle with a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed hub which has a riding position which does not aggravate my carpal tunnel issues, but given how hilly it is around where we live in Maryland, it can be a bit challenging going up some of the hills.

Even with riding, it doesn't get my heart rate up like running used to, that and to get any sort of a decent workout in, it takes a good two hours, whereas a 45 minute run is all I needed to get well and truly thrashed.

 

I agree, bicycles are so efficient that riding can even give less of a workout than walking can on flat ground.

I raced roads and Crits back in the day and rode with our local club for a few years. I found with out a heart rate monitor during workouts it was easy to get lazy and not get my heart rate into my target zone. Timing my workouts and of course training rides with other racers meant I needed no heart rate monitor, every climb was a race to the top.

 

Oh, I thought you were trying to rehab your knees.

 

No rehab in my case, with the meniscus and cartilage removed, those things don't grow back, or at least they aren't supposed to. I'm looking into the possibility of having PRP injections into the knee.

 

Played pickleball for the first time since March.

And wow do I feel good!!

 

sammin....again...

 

Good morning from San Diego County... and it is just beautiful today. 80's all week, perfect. In fact, the summer has been very mild so far; only into the low 90s a couple of times. Have yet to need to run the AC, except when smoke from a fire was filling the little river valley I live in.

So, while I wait for the clamshell (front diff) bushing and seal to arrive from North Carolina, how about a few photos from beautiful Baja California, from a trip in 2017... can you guess where I am in Baja?












Have a great day, where ever you are!

 

I'm a newbie…what is “fill the cooler”?

 

The cooler on the end of the porch, you know we’re on fixed income, I would but I’m to lazy to get up and out of my rocking chair.

 

Lazy day here. Just some office work. Which I suck at. Who could pay attention with all the hotties in one class room ?!
