Back to serious rain today. I did therapy exercises that I do most days along with upper body weights, pushups, plank. then I did part of revved up rumble. not all, the warm up and part of the first session. I think it felt ok but I want to be sure. I haven't done anything in so long I'm I...

I have a round brush for hummingbird feeders. used it on my water bottle, rinsed a few more times. it's ok now. they are softer plastic. hold onto soap taste. they have flip top lids to protect the drinking spout. we use them for mt bike riding. lots of horses use the same trail. the splash...

turns out there was ( likely) soap residue in my water bottle. it had been washed and rinsed multiple times but its hard to get rid of all the soap. something about the plastic makes soap cling. DH said it tasted soapy but I didnt notice anything right away. I drank a little but not much. so...

we did our regular ride this morning, 15 miles. it felt good. I didnt feel good yesterday but Ok today. My parents were very rigid with us, too far the other direction. We would have been vaporized if we did 10% of what these kids did freely. it was still a fantastic museum and I'm glad...

Cathy the parents let kids run and scream. we were in the museum over 2 hours. the displays were incredible but we burned out on the racket. the two floors had an open atrium in the center. going upstairs or down didn't help much because the noise spread everywhere. we tried to go to...

The really good stuff were the ruins and the petroglyphs. we saw many old collapsed buildings, and some of them you can walk or crawl through. I dont enjoy the ones you can only view from a distance. unfortunately a lot of people dont respect the history so the best ruins end up being...

we did what we seldom do, stayed in an RV campground. we reserved spacewith our neighbors who have the same camper we have. we took our camper off. used our truck to commute to trailheads. DH got a lot of driving. the roads were fairly horrendous. the first part of our trip was for mt...

drove home yesterday from the halfway point in idaho. we should have waited and left later in the morning but it was very cold and extremely windy. the campground is next to a wildlife refuge. it was too crummy out to look at birds. it was below 32 as all the sprinkler water was freezing...

Hi all. We are on our way home. Could not log in until. Today. Lots of hiking. And good weather. Busy busy area.

I wear gloves for a lot of things. reynauds can pop up if I get slightly cold, and cause numbness. it sometimes comes up when riding, due to the extra pressure from gripping handlebars. I started using a handwarmer packet for one hand to prevent it. I wear gloves to stay warmer in cold...

Decent ride this morning about 6.5 miles. got to the lake we havent seen in a year and were rewarded with a pair of hooded mergansers. took a different route to get to the lake. found several new roads. not sure where they go or if they will be useful. kinda cold out, 42 ish, but ok...

going to do a short mt bike this morning. its pretty cold again but we want to try to get a few more miles before we go on a vacation. would like to take bikes but weather if iffy. I can ride in a little dusting of snow but not in an unknown place. mostly we will be hiking but its nice...

thanks for birthday greeting diane sue. hope you had a pleasant vacation. Tell me about arthritis! I have major osteo arthritis, worsening with age. my knee(s) are on their last legs, so to speak. they still work, noises are unpleasant but mostly don't hurt. my orthopod said "plan on...

I think e-bikes have their place. we have friends who live at top of a long serious hill that with traffic . he can ride up but its hard and a little dicey since its slow going and too many car drivers dont pay attention. he was not a strong rider before this though. so he uses it...
