Left to Ride Home

We went to WalMart yesterday for a few things. While there, I saw this bicycle on sale. It's a Mongoose Paver with an aluminum frame and 700cc wheels. A BIG bike. My wife declined me attempting to jam it into her car ... so I ended up riding it 10 miles home ... over hill and dale ... 2 of those hills are big enough and steep enough that I only rode halfway up before resorting to walking to the top. I did make it home on the bicycle ... but I have remnants of a sore butt today ...

Thursday

Took a bicycle ride ... hacked & wheezed & spit mucous. It is getting gray & dark and feeling like rain.

Oatmeal for breakfast ... supposed to be good for cholesterol ... adding cinnamon to it also helps lower blood sugar. Most of you young "whippershappers" don't need that information.

Some big tomato worm ate up all the tomato plants, the eggplant, and the green pepper plant, while we were gone. Must have gotten enough to mutate ... because it is no where to be found now. It left the marigolds strictly alone. Some mint is coming back up. And the sweet basil wasn't touched either. Also, there is a teenie-tiny watermelon on a vine that popped up.

Charming to be back here ... instead of some nice desert like Deming, NM ... LOTS OF FRESH BUG BITES!

Traveling Sites

This doesn't exactly have wings like regular grasshoppers ...
It's a giant in comparison ... about 3 times as big ...
I wonder what it is?
I saw it in Lordsburg, NM

I informed him that his mother-in-law
could actually drive to his house in only 4 hours ...
instead of 5-1/2.
He was so stressed, he dropped 10 lbs.
and now weighs about 185 ... those were the days ...

ALM's New Trike

Jack at S&B Recumbents built this trike. It had to be blue. And she wanted something that sat a bit higher off the ground than a DeltaWolf trike. She also requested a 26" rear wheel in stead of having 20" wheels all around. After riding it around the compound yard ... it was decided to have it shipped to the house. If we are at the house by the end of next week ... it should be too.

Jack and I've made plans to build another lowracer next year. The good Lord willing ...
