Memorial Day 2010

It ended up to be an okay weekend.

Friday night, Lenore and I went to see Bounty Hunter at the dollar theater. It was just okay. And it's a good thing we got there when we did we got the last two contiguous seats in the third row. The theater filled up. It really was amazing how much I did not laugh during this movie. We picked up Big Daddy's pizza on the way home.

I rode Saturday morning (under constant threat of worsening weather) for 40 miles. I only felt two raindrops. The weathermen seemed to think the weather was going to be worse. We did some work around the house and Lenore and I went out in the evening with Steve and Michelle Young. We went to see Iron Man 2 (which again was okay, not nearly the ride that the first one was) and then ate at the Five Guys hamburger place afterward. It was just slightly better than okay.

Monday morning I drove  down to the Legacy parkway trail to do a 50 mile ride. There were quite a few people on the trail. I didn't have too much trouble with traffic except two yahoos came at me two abreast inside the long tunnel. I don't know what the one rider expected me to do. I yelled at them. I saw a guy on a very low riding handcycle that at first I thought I was going to be able to catch. He seemed to be a little bit more apt to maneuver through that traffic quickly than I was. Then at my first turn around I had a flat tire. So, I rode gingerly back to the Farmington Train station and sat down on a bench and fixed the tire. No more problems after that.

There were a couple of times where I had pretty good speed for extended periods because of favorable winds. But, I was expecting that wind again for the last 5 miles and it didn't materialize. I think the overall impact of the wind was negative. Still I managed to maintain slightly over 19mph and I felt pretty good doing it.

When I got home I did some more yard work with Jensen. Lenore had already spent a couple of hours in the yard. Then I helped Geri put in her window air conditioners. Then it was off to aunt Bless' for the "pool" party.

The whole day was cloudy with nice enough temperatures. We got a small window of sunshine while at the pool. Good thing because the water temperature was only about 58. I went in and Ameer and Laney..... on air matresses. I did get to enjoy the Sun a little. But, we need to get that water warmed up.
