Sox? Isn\’t that a baseball team? Well, yes; in fact, there are two teams of Sox. For me, though, socks are something I put on my feet before I pull on my shoes. I never have been comfortable in shoes without socks! Lately we\’ve had a lot of cold weather; and that\’s when I pull […]
It looks like there will be no shadow for our groundhog. The forecast for February 2 says, chance of showers and T-storms; and such weather means no shadow for anything. We\’ve got a warming trend setting in; and that often means rain. I won\’t mind the chance to thaw out a bit; but later in
I\’m chilling out yet again; although not to the extent that I\’m getting about on skis. Just looking at that pic makes me feel cold; and temperatures in the low 40s are already cold enough for me. This morning I rode to the salvage store; and I took the trailer. I planned to get another
Bicycle Floor Parking is suitable for both MTB and road bikes. No need to lean your bicycles against the wall! I\’ve long had the idea that such leaning isn\’t good for the bicycle\’s wheels; and I use a similar stand for my road bike. Bicycle Floor Parking is made with a special push-in design; and

We hear about \”unify attention\” all the time; and especially when it comes to eating and weight control. They advise us, don\’t eat while you\’re reading/blogging/watching TV, etc. It\’s good advice in theory; but it isn\’t always practical. This morning I got back from my ride later than usual. It wasn\’t that I started late;
Doesn\’t it gall you when you get rained out? I knew it was likely to happen. Last night\’s forecast said, showers likely; and wind gusts up to 25 mph. The overnight low temperature was 48; and for me that\’s cold. Add rain and gusty wind; and I have a hard time getting out on the
This cold snap feels like a long haul already. We\’ve had several consecutive nights of temperatures near or below freezing; and that\’s more than enough for me! Our humid climate makes the cold seep right down to my bones; and I feel sluggish and tired as a result. Some people say that \”cold perks you
It\’s been so cold here, I almost feel that I can step outside at night and view the Northern Lights. Unfortunately we\’re too far South here to see them; but all the same, my place feels like an igloo. I even wonder whether an igloo would be warmer! Last night it got colder than ever.
