FOOTBALL!

What other title will due in such a fantastic season of the year. The cool weather does not dissuade me from riding, I just haven’t had time and this week has a lot going on. But Misao called and encouraged me to get out and exercise so I took a good walk. A have a weekly job of driving all day long to make deliveries. Because I am using our own car we will have to see how much we actually can clear and if I will keep the job long term. Sitting all day is the worst job for me health wise so I need to be more attentive of getting more exercise and losing weight. I am already spending two nights a week driving.

Life is wondrous. This tree is growing out of a dead stump out of a rotting bit of bark. My new eyeglasses are ready. The progressive lenses are not good for riding. The peripheral is a bit blurry and the lower vision is distorted, but they will be great for working on my books. A whole new style and look with a whole new fortune to go with it. The contacts are for riding only though I did get some single vision sunglasses that I hope will work great with riding and poker. Many riders believe Lasik surgery was the best decision they ever made. If the progressives don’t work out for general use I may get another of the same design in a single vision lens.

They say football is too violent with many old former players now suffering serious brain injuries. They say the hits are too hard. some claim it was not like that when they only had leather helmets. Some say getting rid of helmets would solve the problem. My solution is similar. First of all I believe the three point stance will be illegal in the future as most people do. But rather than getting rid of helmets so players will not hit so hard I say get rid of shoulder pads.

This weekend is a family event; a wedding. Last wedding everyone said they were not going until three days before when they said they were. Since I had made other plans and had no idea who the people getting married were and no one could tell me how they were related to the family I didn’t go. But me and my cousin were buddies as kids and his is tying the knot. This legal and health matters keep me off the bike, as well as needed house repairs that I can now do as we are getting some money put aside.

Maybe a trainer would be useful even now as the nights are getting longer and evenings are easier for getting in a ride. It was nice to get out for a walk. I used to take lots of walks before our dogs died. Not sure if we will ever get another dog.

Rays MTB Milwaukee is opening October 1st with a season grand opening event on the 15th. I hear they are looking for a new location as mothers don’t want to take their BMX youth to the northwest side location. It is considered a very tough neighborhood though I heard of no problems and they have a security guard outside the entrance with a clear view of all the vehicles. I think it is just a far drive for most enthusiasts and gas prices are high.
