D minus 23 - Weekly weigh in

Made a little more progress in my efforts to lose weight.....and not find it again.....this week's number is encouraging.....194.6!  First time under 196, let alone 195!  I'd been holding steady in the 196's all week.  Down from last week's weight of 196.2.....another 1.6 pounds gone MIA.

Finally on Friday the Santanas had retreated, and the clear blue skies were calm, so we re-deployed the new sunscreen TLE made last week, and spent more time outside.  We knew the temp would climb into the high 80's so we decided to leave on a tandem ride just before 10 am while it was still cooler.  Our goal was to do at least 20 miles, and we ended up just under 22 miles.  We ran the SART southward down to its terminus and then back to Van Buren where we turned north to Limonite.  We stopped off at the Subway on Limonite for my footlong and then headed for home arriving just after Noon.  TLE is getting stronger, and used to sitting on the bike seat for extended periods of time again, so it's all good.....glad to have my riding partner back in the saddle.

These pictures were taken at the top of Limonite before we descend back to the river valley and RJRP at just over 900' elevation....you can just see Mt. Rubidoux in the first picture.

We were expecting my son and family in mid afternoon for the weekend, and they arrived around 3:30.  On Saturday the rest of our kids and significant others will be here to spend the night.

I had the first 6 eBay items I had listed closing around 3 o'clock and did really well on those,  6 more close Saturday, and the final 7 on Sunday....still on track to at least double my money on this bike!

We spent a lovely evening around , fire chatting until almost midnight with Chris, Rochelle and a friend of Rochelle's, Rhonda......I think we burned five bundles of firewood over 6 hours.  The temperatures were very pleasant and I was able to get by with a short sleeve shirt the whole evening.

Thanks for stopping by!
