The title says it all. You could not custom order better weather than what we had this weekend. I started it off with a 60 mile bike ride out into the hill country. Traffic was light so it was nice to have the roads to ourselves. I should say to myself, since I was bringing up the rear. Following the ride, we did a 60 minute run through the Circle C neighborhood. While I was running, an old guy (my age) stopped me at a corner and asked directions to the Veloway. Then he said, "I wish I could jog, but I can't my knees won't let me". JOG? JOG? Who the hell is he calling a jogger? (Thought but did not say: "Jog this you old fart on a Huffy bike!!")
I spent the rest of the day working in the yard. Due to lack of attention, the yard was looking pretty rough. During training, it gets little attention from me so combining winter and training, the yard was more like "The Adamms Family" front yard or a possible post-apocalyptic scene. I did not realize how bad the outside of the house was until after I cleaned it all up. After I had finished, the Homeowners Association, welcome committee came by to welcome us to the neighborhood. They were happy to see that someone was finally taking care of the place.
Sunday was just like Saturday except we lost an hour somewhere along the way. I had an 11 mile run this AM. It sucked and that is all I have to say about that.
I used the great weather to continue working on the yard. It was a good productive day. I managed to mow the grass, fertilize, sow some grass seeds, and sell two bales of hay that came from the backyard. Two years ago, I botched a recipe of Oatmeal Beef Tetrazzini; luckily I found the crock pot that I tossed into the backyard.
In several episodes of Seinfeld, Jerry and George were working on a script for a TV series. It ended up being a show that was about nothing. That was their bragging rights, they sold a show to the network and it was about nothing. The latest version of that concept is Ghost hunters, UFO shows and Paranormal Children. I was surfing this week and caught some of these shows and they are basically about nothing. They infer that something happened but have no proof. I can do that. I would love to be paid to have a show where all I basically have to do is say "Did you see that?" and then swing the cameras around to show nothing. Then I can scream,, "Something touched me", pan the cameras around to show nothing. Then I can add to it by getting me a FLIR camera to show,, well nothing. Where is my check?
