Happy Supermoon!

Belated anyway.The Supermoon having just recently passed, as has the first full day, and second full day, of Spring. Though I am not sure at what point the moon is no longer super. St. Patrick's Day is also over, but there is still plenty of March madness to go around. And no, unlike our President who should have more important things to worry about, I did not pick any brackets. Two Wisconsin teams are still in the running, YEAH!

We do not admire the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. The saint part of the day seems to be missing. Everyone drinks from morning to night ...why? They'll never get those brain cells back, or perhaps that's the problem. Of course the Spring Social Ride will be coming around soon. Nothing but another excuse to drink to excess, though it resembles more a sobriety meeting compared to St. Patrick's Day. We devoured some corned beef for our celebration.

We had a short spurt of nice weather and I got in some good rides. A lot of walking yesterday. But a wedding Saturday stalled my weight loss goals ever so briefly. I have come to see, out of all the reasons you read about as to why people gain weight, that lack of sleep is a major one for me. ...What time is it? Not only do I eat more when I'm tired, I don't even enjoy the food as much. It is not looking good for me making the Iola Bump and Jump.

The rhubarb is getting ready to burst to life. I treated the peach tree. The directions for the fungicide said to apply in the Autumn while the tree is dormant. So I treated it as soon as it was dry out, another requirement, and the temperatures approached the right range. It was actually a bit cooler than it should have been to apply the fungicide, but I decided to error on the side of temperature rather than the condition of dormancy.

Not much in the way of pictures recently. Alois has promised pictures and video from flying gliders this summer. We didn't get through even the first day of Spring before the weather went dark, cold, and wet. But the bad weather has gotten the book back on track. Moving to completion quickly as I stay indoors and we have gotten over the distress of the earthquake in Japan. New low price for your Kindle on my first book.
