I’m back after a good dose of life, some of which I’ll tell about. It has still been hot, yes, but not real scorching as last week. It’s around 102ish and bearable for now. I feel pretty good in the heat so far, drinking lots of water, and trying to keep a sweat on.
We headed up for a big bike ride yesterday. Another hit on the Woodlake triangle. We rode off towards Woodlake early Sunday, smelling the morning coming on and saying hi to all the walkers on the road, though they weren’t walking for exercise. Riding through the country you could feel the place, hear the areas sounds and become one. We rode up 13 miles to a nice little picnic table under a huge old oak to take a break before the big uphills. Right as Bruce and I came up his tire blew big time! It sounded like a gunshot and made the others duck. It blew a good 3 inches of that tire away. We fixed it as we could and I decided to stay with Bruce and go back, which ended up being the right decision. Even after being fixed he couldn’t go far. So, the other rider went on with the ride and we missed out on all the uphill………darn! I rode back alone to the truck, 13 miles away and came back to meet Bruce at the donut place in town for chocolate treats and coffee, so much for the weekly exercise.
Drumming………….ah yes! We had a huge one last night! One full of pirates wife’s, drinking the kids beer, bud lite. Girls in bikinis dancing and a groove so tight, deep and soulfull that you would have thought that it was made with a back hoe! We love all of our attendees and want you to know that you are always safe with us all around!!
