Nothing proclaims the arrival of warm weather more than thunderstorms and tornados. The snow no doubt washed away, highs in the 60’s for the next week, all a propitious turn of the season for Bike Expo success. Check out their trade in program. Of course Emery’s is running their counter sale, as in counter revolutionary or counter weight, at their stores, guaranteeing to match any Expo price. Success is in the air for bike sales. It is also the last weekend for the Winter Farmer’s Market at the Domes.
I stared at my bike this afternoon. It needs a good wash and maintenance, then it is out to the trails. Of course the local trails were under water last night. Watching the water rise towards the top of our flood wall, I was relieved to realize bridges upstream are lower than the top of our flood wall.
Fat Bikes may peak your interest. Something to ask about at the Expo. I am sure there will be a selection. There are over 100 brands of Fat Bikes according to an IMBA publication. They now design trails and grooming devices specifically for Winter Fat Bike riding. But will there be a greater or fewer number of electric bikes this year as last? The suspense is almost unbearable.
Power assisted mountain bikes are sprouting as an issue on the mountain bike trails. So many advances and trends, all displayed at the Expo I’m sure.
You may have noticed that the top of a 4x4 post, a piece in the saw horse bracket in the picture, aligns perfectly with the top of my work bench. Serendipity had nothing to do with it. That was planned and achieved with perfection.
Work on the house can be weather dependent. Depending on your materials, temperature and rain can hinder one’s progress, if one cares about using a product as specified. So it has been over a month since we bought that new screen door; I have to paint the new trim I had to build in, before installing the new screen door.
The diet, the diet the diet. My wife (besides my friends mother) appears to be the only one willing to admit that I have noticeably lost weight; 25 pounds. My parents came back from Florida the other day. We haven’t seen them for five months yet, though encouragement was not lacking, they refuse to acknowledge any noticeable weight loss success on my part.
Still, I see many a fellow man of girth slimming down at the bowling alley, amongst our league, or even at a Metro Mountain Bike meeting. If they are reading my blog they will never admit it. Perhaps they overheard a conversation on the Bulletproof Diet. I highly doubt their success is unrelated to my own. I have surpassed my brother in our weight loss competition. We are both doing the Bulletproof diet. I will still have to ramp up my efforts if I am to make my goal of under 225 pounds by the first week of June. I was +/-280 at the beginning of the year; 289 was my peak about two years ago.
I heard someone on the radio speaking about the show “Justified”. We watch the show a year behind with Amazon Prime. I can say with a sense of certainty that Rayland and Boyd will die together at the end, the final season is coming to a close, as they almost did as teenagers working the coal mine. I’d put money on it. It’s a new month; just realized I can download another free book for my Kindle. It’s been eighteen months Since I started and I’m just about finished with “Moby Dick”. I can’t wait to see how it ends.
I’m changing the jackpot question, this week only.
The $92 question (I forgot to post a question on the previous post): What movie have I watched more than any other? Check out the Charity Jackpot Page link in the sidebar to possibly triple the amount.
