This morning I made another excursion to the salvage store. I was a bit uneasy about the weather. On the way there, I could see a big cloud in my rearview mirror; and I forgot to pack the poncho!

However, I was lucky. It didn’t rain; and part of the time the sun was behind the clouds. That kept me a little cooler; and as of 3:55 pm it hasn’t rained yet.

The salvage store ran out of those Gatorade bars several weeks ago; and I’ve used up the supply that I had.  I was glad to find some other protein meal bars at 50¢ each. I hope the store has a good, long run with them.

Today the grab-bag bins were empty. I hope they have something when I go there again. Sometimes I find good stuff there, including ride food.

Once home, I put away the things that needed refrigeration. Then I started another excursion to get bananas; celery; and an onion. I want to make Leapin’ Leo; and I needed the vegetables for it. The bananas are for pre-ride snacks.

Naturally I’m planning a long ride for tomorrow. It looks like the greatest rain chances are for the afternoon; and I hope that’s accurate! I’ve got a 40-mile trek in mind; and it won’t be fun if it rains and gets my ride food wet.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. I have to clean up the kitchen and do my laundry. And get back into my off-bike exercises! I’ve been terribly slack about them for months!
