This is what I wanted to do all weekend but it didn’t go as planned. I did get a few things accomplished and I did get to spend some time with my family as well as my mom and dad this weekend. Why does the weekend always seem to go faster than the week. Time flies when you’re having fun I guess.

I had a very good day today. I was able to spend part of this morning with my son. He plays the baritone in college and they were rehearsing their show. Afterwards we had lunch and got to spend some time together. Once I arrived home, the rest of the family and I went out to a local steak house and ate. I’m so stuffed right now I can hardly move. Didn’t get a bike ride in today but maybe tomorrow. We shall see.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Band, Birthday, Cats, Cycling, Rehearse, Tuscaloosa, Weekend
Due to forgetfulness on my part, there are several errands that will have to be done in the morning because I forgot to do them tonight. This will only add to the many things that I’ve got planned for this weekend.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I had hoped to have a nice relaxing day at the house with maybe a bike ride to break the monotony. It turns out I’m going to ride to Tuscaloosa to see my son rehearse with the marching band and give him his new phone. So, with that being stated my day will start early in the morning.
I hope everyone has a great and enjoyable weekend.

Within the last few days I’ve heard tell of about five other people in my area that ride bicycles on a regular basis. I’ve only seen one cyclist and he lives on my street but I’ve only seen him once but he’s seen by my wife multiple times riding during the day. A couple of years ago I met a lady just as she was pulling in her driveway. I spoke with her a few minutes and found out that she rides during the day during the week and rarely during the weekends. This evening on my way home I spoke to a guy who just started riding and he stated that he wants to ride with me. One problem with that is he’s only able to ride about seven miles and he doesn’t do hills. Unless he rides at the track he’s in for a big surprise around here. I’d be nice to have a riding partner but they’d have to ride my pace and able to ride the distances I ride. Maybe one of these days I’ll catch up with someone who I can ride with on a regular basis.
BTW, here is a video that I did of a 29 mile bike ride condensed to a 5 minute video. I hope you enjoy.

The one word everyone hates to hear especially if one is in a hurry. Tonight I really wasn’t in a hurry but I did want to get home, change clothes, eat and head out the door on my bicycle. That didn’t happen tonight because three cars and a semi wanted to get acquainted on the interstate this afternoon during rush hour traffic. What normally takes me about 45 minutes to make the trip home, took me over two hours tonight. Of course when I got up there to where the accident happened, there was nothing there. The police had already cleared the accident. Tomorrow night I get to go see my girls high school band perform their half time show so I won’t be riding tomorrow night. There’s always Friday!!

I love it when I spend hours in a meeting that I get nothing out of. It was one of those “feel good ” meetings where you’re supposed to learn about yourself and how to deal with other people’s difficulties. Time well spent. Yeah right! Four hours of my life I will never get back.
I got over sixteen miles yesterday before the storm of the century came through. I had a meeting this afternoon after I got off from work so I didn’t get a chance to ride tonight. Tomorrow, if the weather cooperates I’ll try to get a ride in but on Thursday I have two places I have to be at after work. I’m really hoping to get back riding on a regular basis again soon. I do better with my weight when I ride.

I got home and hurriedly changed into my riding gear. My wife got home late and didn’t have supper ready but it was close. After I changed clothes I shoved down a pork chop and off I went on my bike ride. Before I left I checked the radar and noticed that a storm was approaching but was fading fast. About an hour into the ride I started noticing that another storm was approaching but this time from different direction. I stopped to check the radar on my phone and I could hear thunder off in the distance. Being that the tornado of 2011 took out most of the trees in this area I was the tallest thing around. This did not leave a comforting thought. I cut the ride short and headed home. After my shower and a change of clothes the storm hit with a mighty force. Power has been going on and off and my poor grumpy cat hasn’t left my side. He doesn’t like storms and usually cowards behind the bed but for some reason he’s being my best bud. That along with the storm shall soon pass.

Got up this morning and made homemade pancakes, fried up some sausage and made some biscuits, all of which were ordered by my girls yesterday. I really enjoy cooking and this weekend I made the best of it by cooking supper last night and breakfast this morning. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed it because there is nothing left.
The rest of the day was spent in my recliner relaxing and enjoying the “Bond-a-Thon. My favorite “Bond” has to be Sean Connery, I think he’s a great actor. I’ve also liked him in “The Hunt for Red October”. I’ve seen that movie 15 or more times and if it came on tonight I’d have to stay up late and watch it.

I have a lot of plans whether or not I’ll get to them all remains to be seen. I’d like to get a bike ride in, there’s a waterfall about an hours drive from here that I’d like to go photograph and I’m planning on doing some Dutch Oven cooking one day this weekend. So I have a lot I’d like to do but it really depends on how active I want to get in this heat.
I sincerely hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. Enjoy yourself and do something fun.

Today was my day. It’s been so long since I’ve had a day when most things went without having a problem. I even had a civil conversation with my boss this morning. My day was pretty well planned out so I went straight to it. I stayed pretty busy and the day went by pretty quick. About 2 pm the receptionist from my oncologist called and said that the doctor wanted to speak to me. My results weren’t due in until next week so I immediately went into panic mode. The doctor came on line and told me that my levels were lower than they had been since my diagnoses. That was exactly what I was needing to round out my day.
I had a meeting after work so I got in really late but both my daughters were still up and they both had a great first day back to school. That made me happy too. Maybe this will keep going at least one more day until the weekend.
