This morning was the usual Saturday stuff: a trip to the salvage store. But here is what was unusual about today’s trip: I spent less than $30.00; and I didn’t bring home a big load of canned stuff.

I think I can relax a bit about stocking up; and even supposing I don’t have to move soon, I simply need to use up some of the stuff that I already have. It’s threatening to crowd me out of here!

I was glad to have a bit of a tailwind on the way home from the store; and today I left the trailer home, which meant a lighter load.  If the salvage store had that Lundberg Wild Blend, though, I think I’d want the trailer, so I could bring home several bags of it.

Last Christmas my sister gave me a bag of the rice; and it’s wonderful. Not only is it delicious; it gives off a lovely aroma while cooking.

Today I met some friends for lunch; and that was expensive! It more than made up for the lower total at the salvage store. The food was delicious; but pricey. It’s lucky I recently made a little extra cash from cat-sitting; but this venue can’t be regular Saturday stuff.

It began to drizzle while I was walking home from the restaurant. I’m glad it didn’t pour; and tomorrow’s biggest chance for T-storms is late afternoon. Maybe my ride will stay dry; but it sure will be hot!

This is the time of year when I have to start my Sunday long rides by 6:00 am — supposing I can drag myself out of bed early enough. But if I begin the ride later, I get too hot!
