we did our regular trail ride this morning, 1 hr 23 minutes, exact same time as the walk yesterday. again, a lovely morning. summer here is usually pretty nice. if it gets hot ( 80 or above) its usually low humidity so its not bad.

We did a walk/hike at the state park near here this morning, for 1 hr 23 minutes. it was lovely out and not that busy. school is still going most places here so then things will pick up. Saw a bald eagle up close and lots of smaller birds flitting around. its a very odd feeling...

had a cardiology appt today that went really well. for years Ive been told i was having occasional atrial fib. not a lot but enough to eventually need a surgical procedure to deal with it, or be anticoagulated. i didnt want to do either,. I was mystified because I am very very...

ha ha cathy... we found out the cats do nothing. they walk around, sniff things and do little else. its like they patrol their territory and any trespassers stroll thru only when the resident cat isnt there. there is a lot of cat traffic but i don't think we have ever seen two cats at...

good morning. we rode the trail this morning for 1 hr 23 minutes. this is such a nice ride now that most of the crowds have gone back to work. it still can get busy but usually weekdays are not busy. no unusual animals today, just a few deer and rabbits.

did a little garden work and walking today along with some shopping. and my usual stretches. still feeling tired. planned to ride today but the rain kept up on and off so i decided to go get our trail cams that we havent looked at in 6 weeks. we saw the usual parade of local...

We drove home yesterday and did it in one long day. its harder with the camper . traffic got very bad in the last section even though we delayed our leave time long enough to avoid the main rush hour. still some folks crashed and it backed everything ip and added an hour on to the...

cathy there is a lot of construction going on to replace bridges and roads lost in the flooding years ago. not sure that explains anything for sure but been tough year. once thru was enough. we saw some bison, it was not the numbers we are used to seeing, and not a single calf. they...

we did a mt bike this morning after the hard hike yesterday so are heading back Thursday. we would need to take a rest day anyway and weather is too hot this weekend so its time. the ride this morning was lovely but kinda hard. we didnt do it last year because of DH's knee surgery so its been 2...

I have missed posting a lot. we've been busy, mostly hiking but on nice ride in the park. weather is lovely, cold at night and pleasantly warm during the day we are not seeing as many animals as we usually do. bison and elk seem scarce and usually late may and early june is ideal time...

weve been busy. long drive and the major driveway work. hate using roundup but there is no other way. the driveway is impassable with huge Russian thistle every year. i DH runs a weed eater thru it and then we spray and every year it storms back. if we let it grown its a huge fire hazard...

We did another ride this morning, our regular trail ride. an hour and 15 minutes. now I need a couple day break. we are packing tomorrow and driving sunday hopefully in between bad traffic days. Judy im proud that i can still ride that hill. part of the issue is mental. what...

we mountain biked this morning. an hour and 25 minutes. an area we thought was temporarily closed was not, and it seemed like it was mostly unused with lots of tall weeds. when they log an area it's closed to recreation and after logging its an ugly mess for quite a while. they...

Cathy i lived in Milwaukee for 20+ years, born and raised there. i hated the weather! the heat and humidity made me so miserable i up and left when i finished college and moved to Washington. it was a good choice for me and i am happy here. it gets too warm here occasionally but no...

Carolyn, i live where I live because it does not usually get hot here. or briefly if it does. I moved here when I was in my eary 20's because i hated heat and humicity. i dont tolerate hot temps well and never did. i overheat like crazy and dont sweat. I refuse to vacation anywhere hot...
