I was out and about today ...
walking down a dirt road
In this area, 4 deer ran across the road
and headed for the distant trees.
Darn cold tonight.

Garett's Ride
Garrett did the first of his 15-mile rides today.
The first half of the ride was into the wind.
It seemed like it took forever to get into Houston County
and reach the 7.5 mile mark.
He finally made it to the feed and seed building.
The 2nd half with the wind at his back was a LOT easier.
Things he saw along the way ...
an interesting street sign.
a silver fox-squirrel.
and a medium-sized attack dog that didn't like BB's.
With about 4 miles left, we got a call from Grandma saying that she had locked herself out of the house ... and could we please come and let her back in. Sure, just as soon as we get back to the car ... :)

Cleaning & Lost Items
This is the lovely view across the country today ...
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and I-94 are guaranteed snow.
I-80 thru Nebraska snowed yesterday ... again today.
A LOT of rain there in the eastern half of the country.
Took this foto while I was out riding this morning.
Fighting wind, so I only went about 10 miles roundtrip.
I've been riding this bicycle along with grandson
as he works on his Cycling Merit Badge.
Aluminum frame Mongoose "Paver" touring bicycle (on sale at WalMart a few years back for $100), 2 water bottles, 27" wheels, only 7-speeds, Velo_Orange leather seat, Crank Bros. "Candy" pedals, and a spring rack on the back for carrying things. The pedals and seat aren't original. I wear Bike Nashbar clip-on riding sandals.
Looking at a 15-mile ride tomorrow morning.
While I was doing paperwork yesterday morning,
I actually went through all those papers there to the right & under the monitor ... I discovered 2 important things: 1) my ID necklace that I've been missing for 3-4 months. 2) the box with all my checks ... that I've been looking for since I ran out a month ago.
Stuff can just pile up on you, get out of sight, and lost ... just that easy. Sigh.
Glad I found them. :)
