Over many years I've become very fond of horses. They can be comedians and playful despite their size. They seem to exude a certain energy which is why some of us like to be around them and of course they like to be around people. It has been a partnership lasting between 5000 and 10,000 years and maybe more. A very good friend of mine was a quarter horse mix with a John Deere tractor. Which is to say he was not a beautiful animal on the outside but inside he was a prince. He was sweet and affectionate and named Chochise but his friends called him Coach.The video link is to two German girls having a day out with their horse, also a sweet animal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJyT6Qg3ANU

Of course. That was the place to be. Even better than on the wagon.

Again, thank you all for the kind thoughts regarding Indy, and us. It means a lot.

Another slow one. Everybody must have become productive. Shoveling snow perhaps. Sleeping in perhaps. 77°A and heading for a high of, you guessed it, 100°. It's been quite a run.

Should be a nice day day, getting up to the low-60s. That in mind, I got clearance for a long ride from the wife yesterday.
....and before going to bed, I reviewed the calendar and saw that I have a tire/oil change appointment this morning.

Same temp here today, but with a threat of rain all day. Basically how the rest of the week is forecast to play out.
I'm still failing at finding motivation to go ride. Brought my MTB to work yesterday with full intentions to ride after I clocked out, but ended up unexpectedly needing to pick up something from a store right after work and the experience totally drained me.
I've also somehow become a total weenie and won't go out when it's below 50°. I would have killed for that temperature two months ago

Annoying. Start your ride from the shop? Or is it ever so obnoxiously timed that it ruins any option to work around it? I love it when that happens.

Can't ride from the shop - need the cargo room for the summer tires and no bike rack.
