Mom and Dad coming for a visit in two weeks...so my bike riding adventure will probably take a back seat...darn it! Major projects to undertake...yard work, gazebo work, housework, painting the outdoor structure, housework (repeated on purpose), cleaning some indoor walls (why do dogs lean against walls?)....sigh...so much to do, I'm stressed. How will I get it all done and work too? Luckily I have some help for the outdoor stuff.
I hope it all comes together!
Life...It's All Good! A blog about things I find interesting and fun...I love to make new friends, read, share, music is a joy in my life. The amount of new, interesting, mind-boggling things I find on the internet amazes me everyday. I view life with fascination!

My Newest Adventure is Coming Soon..
In the 80's and into the mid 90's I was an avid bicyclist...riding about 8-10 miles daily and 20 to 30 mile rides on Saturdays or Sundays...I got myself a Trek 1400 Road bike and really enjoyed it except for my sore backside and being hunched over the bars.
Lately I've been thinking I want to ride again so I went to check out the local bike shop and test drove several bikes; comfort and mountain bikes. It felt great to ride AGAIN! I found a more comfortable ride I liked but wanted a step up. I ordered a Trek Navigator 3.0 today and discovered once I got home that it doesn't have the Grip Shift I liked...darn it. Well I'll call on Monday and if they can change the order to the bike (Navigator 2.0) with the shifter I like then awesome...if not I'll learn and settle for the Shimano EF-60 8 speed shifter that I'm clueless about. Oh well I can learn...what ticks me off is I specifically asked if it had the same shifter as the 2.0.
Meanwhile...here's a pic of the beauty I have on the way! I'm calling it a late birthday present "to myself" and a good way to get some exercise! Click on it to check it out close up! What old past time do you want to take up?
