Most of this day I used to
find a method to carry three bikes on
the roof of the Forester. The last
part of the afternoon I took Gwen's bike
apart to lubricate and clean. I quickly found
I needed a tool I didn't have. I ordered the
tool and will finish Gwen's bike once it arrives.

Nice cool 35 mile ride today
trying some new gear. I had
a new thermal jersey to try and
a new gadget to warn when cars
are about to pass me.

This was an inactive day. Gwen and
I took ourselves to breakfast. We tried a restaurant
in Oakland, but Oakland was closed. We returned to
a local favorite here in Sutherlin. I worked on a new
accessory for the bicycle after breakfast. Then I finished
the post from yesterday. That took a while so once
complete I prepped some vegetables for dinner.
I worked some in the new planter area then began
the barbeque for dinner hamburgers. Gwen took
Abby to the "back 40" for a run and we are
ready for an evening of TV entertainment.

This was a writing day. Last year, my daughter gave me something called StoryWorth. It is a program where the user answers questions about their life by writing short stories of events and feelings. At the end of one year StoryWorth will combine all these stories into a book which is sent to the person who purchased the StoryWorth gift. Well, it has been a year so I have been trying to catch up with my writing so the book can be printed and sent to my daughter. Today was one of those writing days.

The day began with Abby
and I watching Dog TV for a bit.
A Zwift ride came next for an hour.
After breakfast, I took Abby to Tractor
Supply to use their dog bath. On the way
home, I bought a Papa Murphy pizza to
fix for dinner. I tried baking it in the
barbeque since our convection oven
works poorly. The pizza came out
etable. Weather was good again today.

The day began early with a Zwift
ride for an hour. Breakfast came
next. The rest of the day
was spent in the shop, cleaning
and organizing. It's better now
after several golf cart trips to the
garbage bin. Sweeping and using
the shop vac helped too. Along with
cleaning, I was looking for a missing
cordless drill battery. I found it behind the
shop table, made sure it was fully charged
and put it away. Abby rode with me on every
trip to the garbage bin and she rode with Gwen
to the back 40 for a run.

We made a four hour drive
from Brookings to Sutherlin.
I was watching the fuel gage because
coast fuel is more expensive. We were at
a quarter of the tank, I figured 25 gallons but it was
more. When I filled up when nearly back to Sutherlin,
it only took 67 gallons in a 100 gallon tank. I also
filled up with DEF since I was at a truck stop.

I tried to relax today but began
the day with a hour+ Zwift ride after
morning coffee. Breakfast after the ride
then some adjustments to both bicycles
to be sure the rear derailleurs were working
properly. I've scheduled another Zwift ride
for early tomorrow morning. It is my turn to
cook so I baked a Mexican dish in the
barbeque, our motorhome convection oven
does not work well. The dish turned out
very well.

breakfast, I waxed two more bicycle chains, now
all my chains are waxed. Gwen and I made a
quick trip to Roseburg for grocery items
at Costco. An early ride is planned with the
guys tomorrow morning.
