Like I said earlier today, I’m still here. I kept thinking that I needed to post something but as always, I got busy with something else. I’ve got a bit of bad news to share. The breathing problems that I’m having are not caused by my heart or fluid in my lungs. What’s worse is that they don’t know why I’m having these issues. I can’t walk into my home and climb the one flight of stairs without becoming winded.

Not so long ago I was riding my bicycle twenty miles a day. Not any more. My son now is riding my bike where he lives. At least my bike is getting some mileage on the tires.

I had every intention of getting home and taking a ride on the bicycle this evening but with everything else I tried to do today my plans got changed.  I’m moving my son out of one apartment into another in a couple of weeks and being that we’re going to be out of town all of next week I decided that today would be as good a day as any to unload the firewood from my open trailer.  But first, I had to get to the trailer.  It seems that over a period of a few months brush had overtaken the area so I had to cut them down.  Once that was done I noticed that the tire was flat on the trailer so I’ll be calling the tire shop to order some used tires. The area that I have for my firewood was also growed up so here I go again cutting down more brush.  After about two hours I finally got my trailer unloaded and the firewood stacked.  I really need to unload my truck tomorrow but I think I’ll take a ride on the bicycle tomorrow.

365 Day Photo Challenge 87/365 “Day of Rest”

Today was a day of rest, sort of. I didn’t get on my treadmill nor did I get on my bike.  I used this time to work on my bike.  I’m somewhat disappointed in the tires that I bought a little over a year ago. Granted when I bought these I had already ordered some Grand Prix that came highly recommended for the condition of the roads around my house. The Grand Prix were not going to get here in time for my next big ride so I went ahead and got the cheaper tires so I could go riding.  The Bontrager tires that were purchased lasted year only had about 500 miles on them before they went bald and started showing the lining.  I’m glad I only paid around $30 each for them.

So I took a day of rest so that means that I’ll have to really work on the treadmill tomorrow night and the rest of the week.  It’s supposed to storm tomorrow evening and rain the rest of the week until Friday so unfortunately I’ll be seeing more of my treadmill than I want too.  Alabama weather goes nuts this time of year.  You never know what the weather is going to do until that day.

I’ll be in Atlanta Georgia on Saturday at the Sweetwater Creek State Park so if you’re in the area give me a shout and we’ll hook up.  I’m going to spend the first part of the day taking pictures of the wildlife and landscape.  The afternoon is going to be taking pictures of a beautiful young lady.  Can’t wait to share some new work.
