Well, I did get to eat my taco salad last evening, but the movie wasn't a go.  It being a Friday and a premiere weekend for some new movies, the movie that we wanted to see started earlier then we expected.  SOOOO...we ate and bull crapped a while over a bottle of wine and then went SHOPPING! 

Oh yeah...a chance to spend money on myself for no damn reason except that I'm OUT!  LOL  I picked up some things for the house.  Some wine of course.  A couple toys for the pups. Some bath and body stuff for myself was a must.  OH...and a new base layer short sleeved under armor for myself of course

Anyways...I had a nice time even though we didn't go see the movie 

So today after my work out, I started out chain sawing up some more branches for fire wood and then started a burn pile.  I worked on that till I was fully soiled in soot and the fire was under control.  I then took a quick shower and suited up for a nice recovery ride.  That was the intent for today.  I was tired when I left for the ride.  After all I had done already, I was hot and sweaty and soot soiled, but it was JUST SO NICE OUT!  I had to just take a nice easy ride.  I did just that.   A quiet day today, strange for a weekend.  Not a lot of people out.  A few mowers was about all.  To not see any of my "normals" out there, is a bit strange for me yet.  I hope to see someone soon!

A few things worth mentioning.  My second loop I had my arm out to signal a turn onto Trout Run.  After I started my turn, I hear something behind me and not a car.  It was a cyclist.  He was in bermuda shorts and a t-shirt with no helmet on a straight bar hybrid.  He went straight, but I had the feeling he was chasing me.  He swooshed by in that form if you know what I mean.  He was only a kid.  No matter to me...I was on an easy going ride today.

Well at least till I saw the chubby dude riding a hybrid with a back pack on the WRONG side of the road on my final loop going up Druck Valley.  I stopped taking my usual drink first at Glades Auction house and took my time, not thinking anything about a chase.  Soon as my foot clipped in I had to find him.  Yeah I gave chase just to find him and passed and as I did I waved an arm up.  He's still a cyclist after all
