Just some funny thoughts on a cold day

These thoughts are not mine but they could have been.

A cousin of mine who was a casualty surgeon in Manhattan tells me that he and his colleagues had a one-word nickname for bicycle riders: Donors.

War does not determine who is right – only who is left.

No matter where you go – You’re always there! And you’re never there, because you’re always here!


What do sheep count when they can’t sleep?

When they first invented the clock, how did they

10132 miles and still cranking

Well folks I have traveled 10132 miles this year and with luck I will have an additional 40 today.  Weather has been cool but not cold.  Hope my family is feeling good enough that I can get out on the road again today.

I did it!

I passed the 10,000 mile mark sometime yesterday a full 10 days before the end of the year.  I passed 10,046 miles today.  I wonder how far I can go in the remaining eight days?

Only 152 miles remain


December 16, 2011 – I rode 44 miles on the 14th but did not ride yesterday because it was very cold out, went to the tanning salon to attempt to get rid of the tan lines that Denise thinks are so funny.  Today was in the low sixties so I went for a 46 mile ride.  I only need another 152 miles to reach 10,000 miles this year.

It was cold again

Yesterday was cold but I did get a bicycle ride and I am now 40 miles closer to my goal of 10,000 miles for 2011.

Cold Today

It was cold, cloudy with a light rain today.  Normally I would not bicycle on a day like this but I had not been riding in two days and the end of the year is approaching quickly so I went for a ride.  By the time I arrived home I thought my ears, fingers, feet and a few other parts had developed frost bite and where going to fall off.  Other than that it was a good ride.  I hope it is warmer tomorrow and my parents are feeling well so I can ride again and maybe reach my goal of 10,000 miles by the end of the year.

No Ride Today

Other than it being cold out, my Dad had an elevated heart rate and was not feeling good all day.  I knew he would get no rest at all worrying about my Mom and her problems with walking so I went and spent the days with them.  I did so odd jobs about the place and baked 2 dozen Oatmeal Raisin cookies however Mom does not like raisins so I used chocolate chips instead.  Tomorrow I will be at their house again because the 49ers are playing.  Sure hope the weather is good and my Dad is feeling good on Monday.
