Minooka Park, Area 5, Tuesday August 16, 6:00pm, will be an all skills level
ride led by a prestigious member of Metro Mountain Bikers.
A chance to see what the mountain bike trails at Minooka are all about, if you
don’t know already. And don’t forget about the Wednesday Night Races which will
finish out the season at the Alpha Trail.
Or if you are looking for more immediate
gratification The Warrior
Dash is tomorrow at The Rock in Franklin
Wisconsin. I hear they have heats going off every half hour.
I haven’t gotten down to my race weight yet,
but, believe it or not, I have gotten out to ride. And I have found myself not out
of shape. Comes from good living.
My wife said to me the other day. “Let’s take a
weekend off and go on vacation.”
“That’s a lot of chocolate.” I answered in a most
serious of tone.
“What?” she looked bewildered.
“The money we would lose from not selling and what we
would spend on vacation…. That’s a lot of chocolate.”
“You’re right.” my wife sighed a moment
later.
Take heed young men. The learning never stops here.
You have to speak to woman in a language they can understand.
This was our vacation; baseball and The state Fair.
Okay, I had to wait fifteen minutes for a hotdog at the stadium, or in other
words until every other line had been completely worked through. The guy was
working hard, he just gave everyone else their orders, including some guy who
kept walking over from the drink concessions, before he would give me my hotdog.
Then he tried to hand me three. “One hotdog.” I said and then, “Thank you.” Not
sure if the two people waiting behind me for the other two hotdogs thanked
him.
One of the hottest most humid days of the year and we
went to The State Fair. we did out culinary rounds and struck up a conversation
with a couple at a shared table. The gentleman looked familiar. I saw on
Facebook one of my high school classmates was at the fair at the same
time.
We watched some fat pigs attempt to make it
around a race track and then hit all the vendors. Thank God for air
conditioning. I bought some glue. The We Energies facility had a nice
educational garden but their Solar Speedway show was cancelled because of
clouds. So much for solar energy. This globe, one of many was in their garden
display. I bowled with a guy whose daughter made those, with some autistic
group, out of old bowling balls. I had given him a couple. …could be?
They were changing out the animals in most of the
barns so we couldn’t see much in that regard. I think the DNR display facilities
improve every year.
I looked for the dog shows on the State Fair site but
couldn’t find the K9 activity stage listed (it was under family entertainment).
But we caught a show no problem. They are pretty much continuous.
Getting cream puffs over to my parents house before
they melted and home to watch the Olympics rounded out our day. Watching the
women gymnasts I imagined anorexics everywhere were cheering for the
Chinese.
I really know how to plan a vacation.
With the heat, the 4th of July and thunderstorms Ike
our dog has been stressed and is still having seizures though far fewer than
before. We bought a second round of “thuja” a homeopathic medicine. There seems
to be some marked improvement. Perhaps the first round had been energy depleted somehow. That’s how those
homeopathies work.
Don’t be calling me homeophobic.
I think I will bring an end to my “40 Below” Yahoo
group site. I will print out my exercise journal from that site for posterity. I
started a new exercise journal on excel on a really old Internet non-compatible
computer.
The $139 question: What were my three most favorite
WORS
races? Keeping the same question. Check out
the Charity Jackpot Page link in the sidebar to possibly triple the
amount.
