Amazing, isn't it, how time flies whether you're having fun or not? It seems like Christmas was just last week, and now here it is March 1st already, as the title of this rambling dissertation says...
So, what's been happening in your world? It's pretty quiet here, actually. Got the last of the sheep feeders done and installed, so that's one thing there won't be any rush about as lambing approaches. There's been a minor shake-up on my Ag Issues team, but I think I've got that covered. The weather for my weekend was pretty good; a little windy, but relatively warm. I either sun- or wind-burned my beak yesterday, maybe both...
I'm getting the biking bug. I've been doing all of my riding indoors (which is incredibly boring but generally liveable with the TV and all), since late last fall, but with nicer weather, and things starting to dry up, I'm starting to think it's time to haul my fat, Spandex-clad hiney outside and put in some road miles of some sort. I think I'll start with my Diamondback mountain bike for the nonce, and leave my road bike installed on the trainer. With the Slime tubes and the kevlar tires, the Diamondback is heavy as hell, especially the rolling weight (ah, resistance training). On the other hand, the only flat I've had since I set it up that way 2 1/2 years ago was last summer when the valve stem sheared off of the back tire. I wrote one of these long-winded posts about that occurence here. I'm kind of thinking that if I start with the Diamondack, by the time I switch to the Roubaix, with its skinny tires, that bike will feel like a feather, and I'll be able to jet up the hills. Yeah, right. Don't kid yourself, Buster. You'll never jet up hills, unless you lose about 40 pounds. Ah well, a boy can dream...
So anyway, life is good, Praise the Lord, and the creek just keeps on rolling by...
