"You gotta see the baby!"

 8:07 am - Tuesday - November 2nd - Fontana, CA - 52° F, 77% humidity, wind 1 mph out of the east.....clear, blue skies today with a forecast high of 75° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were in Park City, UT having dinner with my brother (Dwyer), and his wife (Lori) at the Stein Erickson Lodge......↴

I'm reminded of a great line from a Seinfeld episode spoken with an obvious New York/New Jersey accent......."You gotta see the baby!"......

.....of course, we very much wanted to see the baby, so we arranged with Tim and Laila to stop by their home Monday around 10 am to see the baby.....

.....I haven't held a small baby like this in a long, long time, but it brought back so many memories of holding each of our five children as newborns.  Little Bowie Mae is so perfect, and beautiful....

Proud Grandpa....

......I remember visiting Tim and Laila after the birth of their first child, Crosby Mark, and the nervousness energy of two new parents was palpable.....not so this time.  This is the second time around for them, and there are no surprises.  They are relaxed, and enjoying every moment.....

.....I did manage to get a picture of Laila, but it came out blurry.  We spent about an hour with them before biding our adieus.  They'll need all the quiet, and rest they can get.

On our way home we stopped off at the Rancho Cucamonga Goodwill to make some final donations, and then do some browsing to see if there was anything there without which we could not live.  As it turned out there a couple of t-shirts I bought.  I don't think I have ever left this particular Goodwill store without buying something.  It is one of the nicest Goodwills at which we have ever shopped.

We haven't ridden our eBikes since March, and now that we've taken care of all the warehouse stuff it was time to get them out and put them to use riding the PET (Pacific Electric Trail), which runs right behind the Elks Lodge here in Fontana.  You will recall I gave each of them a thorough cleaning, and tune up while we were still at SRRVC, but we never rode them.  After walking for three straight days it was time for a bike ride.  Since we haven't ridden for quite some time we decided to keep our ride to 5 miles out and back (10 miles total).  The distance from our coach to the intersection of the PET and Cherry Ave. happens to be 5.5 miles, and that ended up being just the right distance......

......the temp and weather were perfect for a long ride, and we loved every minute.  Nothing like a little 'pedal assist' to get you home when you haven't ridden in a long time.  I managed to stay in level 1 for the entire ride, and I think TLE went as high as level 3, but rode most of the time in level 2.  It doesn't really matter what level you use.  What matters is that you finish the ride, get the exercise, and enjoy yourself the entire time.  In all we covered just over 11 miles at an average speed of 8.9 mph.

Monday seemed like a day of firsts so we decided to BBQ outside for the first time in months, and enjoy our propane firepit for the first time in weeks.  We were treated to a beautiful sunset to top off a perfect day.....

.....yes, even in Fontana, CA surrounded by apartment buildings you can enjoy a great sunset.

Thanks for stopping by!
