I have been getting zero exercise since the nurse decided to punish me by making my left hand into a thumbed spatula. It had to be done, if the finger was to heal.
I've been intermittent fasting for about a month, with no definite schedule to it. So, this afternoon, getting up for breakfast, a few hours later than I should have, I suffered standing up too fast low blood pressure. And, subsequently couldn't sit up to eat. I have now finished, from the comfort of the hammock, and feel much better. I will begin a daily walking routine to prevent such in the future. And, who knows? Maybe I'll stick to a more regular eating schedule.

It might be time for me to visit 50+. I believe they have a sub-category: 65-85

Uh-oh. @datlas - approved Ti with pretty sweet wheels and Stages for only 800 bones! So tempting. at 52cm it's at the low end of my size range. I'd probably have to put a tall stack stem on there.

Catching up:
1. We had 558’ of ascent on our 23.8 mi. tandem ride this afternoon.
2. Illinoisans consider Wisconsin to be an Illinois State Recreation Area.

When the settlers headed west, they actually bypassed this part of the country because they couldn't break the prairie grass sod with wooden plows. Also, because a lot of parts of Illinois are so flat, it tended to be somewhat swampy in places. After the steel plow came into being, the grass was destroyed and the soil was drained.
