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 mega-pack of bathroom tissue if the store had them; and sure enough, they did! Now I don\’t need to buy any more for a considerable time.

I was happy to find canned chicken; last time I was at the store, there wasn\’t any. There were some Progresso® soups for 99¢ a can; and I found small cans of deviled ham @ 2/$1.00. Deviled ham isn\’t bad!

Today, to my disappointment, the grab-bag bins didn\’t yield any protein bars; but I got an assortment of snacks. In fact, I ate one before starting the ride home; and it was a good thing I did.

Getting back home was a slow trip. The wind was only about 7 mph, but that trailer was heavy; and riding felt like hard work. I was hungry when I reached home, even though I had eaten that snack!

Once indoors, I started chilling out again after I had cooled down from the ride. I didn\’t leave the electric heater going while I was out; and it got pretty cold in here. So I fixed myself a mug of green tea; but it didn\’t do much to warm me.

Repeat?

It looks like I\’ll be chilling out tomorrow, too. The temperature will probably be around 46 degrees when I begin my long ride. I hope I won\’t be too cold if I don\’t wear slacks over my leg warmers, because that doesn\’t always work out well.

Today I dressed in leg warmers and cycling shorts; and I wore slacks over them. The shorts kept creeping up my legs; and it drove me crazy. That\’s one reason why I prefer warm weather!
