Addiction 2021.3

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I didn't see the cans. I did, however see the before and after pics. Those valves were fuzzy.

Okay. How about this?

A little less expensive than an 8-piece R8000 Ultegra groupset.

Well, crap.

Rango, my Greyhound, started vomiting yesterday AM, never really stopped, though he got a little relief last night from a dose of Cerenia, at least enough so's he could sleep. X-ray showed no GI obstruction (our worry), but he was barfing again this AM. So back to same expensive emergency vet.

Pancreatitis. They're gonna keep him in for 48 hrs to treat it. $$$, but mostly I'm upset for my doggie.

Ouch. Gut rest and IV fluids, fingers crossed the pup improves.

Healing thoughts for Rango. The away from home thing is never fun either.

Hope rango gets better.

Spent my day at the stables. I could think of worse ways to spend my time. One of the horses has taken a liken to me, so that’s cool. The rest of them not so much.

Daughter rode a pony bare back today, she did well. More importantly she had a blast, that’s all I really care about.
