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...

I do wordle with cousin and his wife every morning. I share a NYT subscription with them. he does wordle middle of the night and I do it early in the am, his wife later in the day. I'm decent at it, not great. my favorite is Spelling Bee. It works fine all by yourself and I love getting...

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. it was a decent day. yesterday was pretty active, today kind of a fluff off day. read paper, did all the puzzles I do, which is quite a few. I do Spelling Bee, Wordle, Connections, Jumble, and the big NYT crossword. I do most of these daily but the...

Carolyn now that you mention it, no bat wings here either. I think biceps and abs would show more if I lost 5 lbs ( or 10) but it sure is reluctant to leave the area. today is birthday #76. did a hilly walk this morning for 1 hr 15 minutes. lovely morning. even restaurants that...

had a doctor appt early so did a road ride after I got home. 15 miles in lovely sunny afternoon. Congrats cathy on the hard work to get decent biceps! mine never look that great, or at least I dont think so. if you compare to someone who doesnt work out at all, well then maybe they're...

Most Asian food is suitable for me since I like the mix of grains and vegetables without depending on big slabs of protein. I like fruit and tofu too. good fresh vegies are a problem in small towns. we t load as much as we can from home. my favorite meal out is Thai. Judy we...

cathy we used to be ovo lacto vegetarians, if that term is used anymore, but travel for work and lots of camping converted us to some chicken and fish. I cant eat a big chunk of either and call it dinner. I need to have it mixed into grains, pasta, eggs, etc. the smaller the town the...

were using this rainy stretch as a chance to clean out and update everything. its easy to pack away things and forget you have them, and that they have outdates. meds outdating in 2015? nope. we need to bring more food along than usual if this ends up being 2 weeks as planned, a lot of...

ride went fine yesterday except DH's bike is still not working right. chain keeps falling off and derailleur /chain rubs in spots. did 15 miles in longer than usual time. gotta stop and reload the chain! did our short camper trip and found a few things we need to clean/fill. it started...
