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

you've been complaining that summer is over. Bask in the heat and enjoy it.

I cut my front lawn today in 38 minutes. It was a tough effort for someone at a poor fitness level. 71 degree dew point and little wind. I don't think I've ever been in this poor physical condition in my life. I hope I can get back on the bike soon! The nerves were really barking at me today as an added bonus.

Tomorrow I go back for physical therapy. I'll probably do all the work and they'll charge me $72. Sounds like a good racket.

Peace out.

I mowed the front lawns yesterday, woke up too late to mow the back lawn today. Did some irrigation valve work and light weeding though.

I did enjoy it, except for (1) and (2). Read, people.

Forgot to mention--the tree cutters were there this week to cut two trees, and the trucks messed up areas of lawn.

Our lawns will not need mowing until maybe December, what with extreme drought and all.

We've had a little rain here, check those 7-day totals!!! (I think that 0.08 rain gauge has a hole in it)
