My OperaNo, I haven't forgotten about this thing...

...I've just been busy. Lots o' stuff happened since I last posted.
Well, no, not really. I've just been sluffing it off. Met a nurse a while back, and have been helping her get furniture and stuff for her new house (what a deal she got on that). Boy, what a chore that is, too...helping a woman pick out furniture. Wrong color. Wrong fabric. Too poofy. Not the right style. Doesn't do this or that. Took two weeks just to find a sofa...and she's got an entire house to furnish.
Me, otoh, it doesn't take me long to decide on something. Which is why I got this the same day I went shopping...
It's been ten years since my last bike. Ten years too long. It's been longer than that since my last really good ride...which is why I'm off to Sedona come November. It's only 1120+ miles one way. I've done twice that before, but was a helluva lot younger. Rode down to see my grandsons last Sunday, 260 miles round trip, and realized (in 102 degree heat) that those ten years made a lot of difference. Well...I'm old. I'll be dead soon (or the world will end, one). This may be my last ride. Gotta make it count.
