Production

Plenty of tomatoes and cucumbers coming out of the garden. The Peaches are just about ready. A little small this year despite all the rain. I have to treat the tree this autumn. Take in some more salvage this week for a bit of cash to pay for some roof repairs. I wish e-bay would pay off. I don't know why people will pick 'watch this (my) item' and then unpick it. If I pick 'watch this item' I just let the item finish without changing that feature. Just don't have the same kind of luck as this guy. A custom Landis bike for $5.

The riding...? Went out today. The Hoyt Trail is blocked with downed trees. I have an Architecture ride planned to snap some photos for one of my other blogs. I rode my bike to the Walker rally last week and found lots of other bicyclers there. On the way a black cat crossed my path with a tiny baby rabbit hanging from its mouth. I am currently not planning to race as I think it wise to see the doctor first with the way I have been feeling. Not when I ride, but at other times I've had some problems. Was good to get out today.

I will be at Crystal Ridge this weekend to take some photos of the Alterra Classic. The future of Crystal Ridge is in question, but someone started a You/Tube site that should help keep the course for the current user group. Makes me want to race, but the money is tight too. And the weight is still too high. Besides, checking the race results when I was at the Sunburst Showdowns I didn't recognize any names. Sort of takes the kick out of competition when your traditional rivals are no longer there. The Border Battle went well for Wisconsin again.

They have what they call rubber glove toe socks for people to run barefoot so to speak. They say it strengthens your ankles and lower legs better. Strength training that suffers when wearing sports shoes. When you work out of our house most of the day it is easy to be outright barefoot more than not. I guess that is a good thing.

Actually completing the book, getting something actually produced, is good for the soul. Production breeds production. Not always easy to accomplish with limited funds that cannot even approach the demands of what you have to get done. I think I took my book as far as it can go. A bit of confusion going on with Create Space but I only need to proof read my work a couple of times and I think it is ready to put into PDF, which hopefully will go smoothly. And then the book will go to market. So all my activities are benefiting from this endeavor. Except the riding. Have to get out more and to the gym.

I changed my profile picture. Maybe I'll use it for the book. And life guard dogs are so cute. And if you buy a kindle from this link I will get a commission. Not to mention, with a kindle you can download hundreds of great books for free. Anything printed before 1923.
