We enjoyed our walk on the causeway this morning. Some days are easy, and some are tough. Today was easy. This sailboat interrupted the flow of traffic for a bit while the drawbridge was raised. This morning was a good day for sailing with gentle 8-10 mph winds.
Isn't this a great picture?
Earlier this morning, we took Dee Dee out to the island. She ate a lot of chicken with her pills this morning, and a lot of chicken with her pills tonight. And she ate chicken for an afternoon snack. She won't touch the rice today, or the canned dog food. It's chicken or nothing, she says. Well, she did nibble on some bread that John offered. I forgot about that.
John had to run an errand, so he dropped by Walmart to get some more boneless chicken thighs for Dee Dee and dark chocolate with almonds for us.
My new Cloud 9 bike seat arrived today. Great name, huh? So far, so good. The best thing I can say about it is that you forget that you are sitting on anything when you're riding. I'll test it soon with a long ride to see how it does after two hours of use. The rubber shock absorbers take the jolt out of the worst bumps. The old seat had minimal padding and zero suspension. The only thing between you and a bump were the tires. This seat is so much more comfortable. I'm hoping that will help my neck and shoulder pain. I have two other small adjustments to make, and then I'll be done fiddling with this bike.
I've realized (again) that no matter how comfortable I make my mechanical bike, I still need an electric one for windy days, especially if the wind comes out of the east. The Palm Blvd hill into the wind is tough. And the causeway is almost always windy. But for north-south trail riding, I like my mechanical bike.
Topped with our own avocados, we had a great meal. Easy.
