Just Peachy

My road bike; the bike one of my younger brothers let me have. Never saw these adjustment pins before. Though I've ridden many a bike I never really did much detailed maintenance until I started competing. Riding my road bike a lot more since we have only one automobile.

Heard it said, that before the advent of padded shorts, racers would use round steaks. This seat, or saddle, is far from ergonomic by today's standards. My brother said it is a part of a system designed to work together with gel padded shorts. There's no way I'm wearing his shorts. I think it best to get a better saddle. If I had any money that is.

The peach tree is full of peaches. Branches bowed under the weight. The dogs like to eat them along with some wascally wabbits. I opened this part of the yard I've been trying to protect from the ravages of our dogs. It makes Tun-Tun very happy. He doesn't move around as much as he used to. Don't know how much longer he will be around.

My wife has been researching recipes. Peach pie, peach cobbler, peach bread, soup and even spaghetti. Mmmm, sounds like a real preride treat. This would be getting close to a third of what we will get off the tree. The salesman at Hawks said this hardy peach variety would have smaller fruit. Many are as big as any other peach I've seen. Great weather should ripen them all up and I should have them all off the tree by weeks end.

Last week I dropped a lot of water and two pounds. It can only be a good thing. My weight loss stalled but could still get down to last years minimum weight by Thanksgiving when it usually starts going up again. Have to be truly serious about weight loss over the Winter. Need to get a trainer. Here is a photo of our sedum. It actually has an attractive color, unlike others.
