My goal is to do 20 miles every time I go out.  But right now it’s not realistic.  It gets too dark for me to safely ride before I can get the milage in.  I have a bright headlight and I have a red blinking light on the rear but I’m still concerned that someone will get too close to me.  Tomorrow it’s supposed to be raining so I guess I’ll have a night off.  In fact, it’s supposed to rain all the way into the weekend.  I guess if it’s raining I’ll get on the treadmill for a little while.

It’s not what I wanted to do but it got dark on me.  It felt good being out there on my bike and feeling the cool breeze.  If I’ve learned anything the last two days is that I am out of shape.  I’ve signed up for a 46 mile bike ride in less than a month and I’ll tell you, I’m not ready.

Tomorrow the rain returns and it’s supposed to rain until Saturday morning.  Should be nice on Sunday.  My plan is to ride 20 miles this weekend.  We shall see.

I went to my eye doctor this afternoon and I got a good report.  I don’t have to go back to see him for six months.  The best news is that I’m done having injections in my eyes.  Those were tough to deal with.

Well, you have to start somewhere.  Today was the first day that I have been able to get out and ride.  Sunday was real nice but I was stuck in a meeting all day.  I had a scout meeting to go to so I took advantage of this beautiful weather and I rode my bicycle to the meeting.  It’s not far and I only got a fraction over five miles but I have to take what I can get these days.

My internet is still down and I’m still having to go through my hotspot on my IPhone so I’ll leave my comments short.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I stayed too busy to really enjoy it but I did get to spend the time doing what I enjoyed doing.  Back to the grindstone tomorrow.

Have a great week everyone!!!

Tomorrow’s Friday and there’s 100% chance of rain.  It rained nearly all day today where I was at and there’s 50% chance for Saturday morning.  Next week starts off nice and mild.  I’m ready for some nice weather.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!!

It’s been raining nearly non stop for two days here up until just about an hour ago. More rain in the forecast for the next two days.  I feel like I need to grow web feet or something. Anyway, we’re supposed to dry out for a few days starting Saturday afternoon then rain again toward the middle of next week.  Again, at least the temp is warmer and there’s no risk of snow.

I’ve lost ten pounds as of this morning.  Of course I’ve had no appetite for the last few days because of this sickness. Before I got sick I had been able to get on the treadmill for a couple of days.  Once my breathing gets better I”ll be back on it again.

Queen Bee is at it again.  Sophie’s taken her place on her side of the bed and no one had better get in her way.  This is where she waits for me to get ready for bed.  Once I enter the room she will run into the bathroom and wait in the sink for me to turn the water on for her to get a drink.  Why not, she has nothing else to do.

It’s been a rainy, dreary day here in the deep south.  Expecting rain the rest of the week.  We may have a decent weekend but that could change.  Oh well, can’t have everything.  At least it’s not freezing rain or snowing.

First day back to work since the time change.  I made it ok with no problems.  I’m actually looking forward to getting the rest of the week behind me and get to the weekend.  I’ve got an opportunity to teach at a college on Saturday afternoon and I’ve got a meeting to attend to on Sunday.  Not much of down time but at least I’ll get out of the house for a while both days.

Pictured above is queen bee, Sophie.  She thinks the runs this house.  She’s spoiled rotten and I must admit I’ve made her that way.  She follows me to the bathroom every morning just so that I can turn the water on in the sink so she can get a drink of water.  She does this too in the evenings as I’m getting ready for bed.  She doesn’t do this to anyone else but me.  She’s my sweet little girl.

Stayed home today to try to get over this crud.  Between the meds, the shots and the rest it looks like I’ll feel like going to work tomorrow.  I really didn’t need to take off today but with me running a fever most of the night I really couldn’t afford to go to work.

I took this a few years ago (since I’m running out of material and being that I’ve been stuck at home).  This is at a local steam plant that is not to far from me.  I’ve always admired these cooling towers because they remind me so much of the nuclear cooling towers we’re so familiar with.

I was out on a motorcycle ride and since I could see the towers off in the distance I decided to ride out there and take a few pictures.  I stopped several times near the plant and got a few and decided to got to the front entrance and get a few much closer shots.  I hadn’t been there just a few minutes with my camera out when this security guard came out and told me to put the camera away.  It wasn’t long thereafter when two deputy sheriff’s came pulling up to the scene.  I guess they thought I was some kind of terrorist.  An hour and a half later and after convincing these sherrif’s that I wasn’t their enemy I was free to go.  I’m really surprised they didn’t ask me to delete the images I took.  They didn’t even ask me about them and I wasn’t going to ask.

I was stood up.  It’s just as well.  I didn’t really feel like doing a shoot today anyway.  I haven’t heard from her nor will I call or email her to find out why.  I’ll just leave it alone.  I went straight to the doctor to be diagnosed with Bronchitis.  I’m running a fever of 101 and I don’t feel very well.  I”ll have to take another day off but maybe I”ll feel better by Tuesday.

Good night all.
