all I know

About the tour is hearing that Lance placed 10th in the "Opening stage" of the race.

What a long weekend. Draining and exhausting. And still so much left undone. I'd planned to get the rear brakes changed on the Golf but the wrong pads show up in the box. So i just went and bled the brakes on the passat. The annual or semi-annual event that everyone should make sure to have done. The body work was very well done, now I just need someone to hit small parts of the car and not drive away so the rusty sections can be repaired. Hey it is Rhode Island, odds are pretty good, right?

Cleaned gutters. And yes. I cleaned them on Saturday. So all you rain haters can thank me for the dry 4th and on. There was no rain because I cleaned em. It probably is safe money to say that now that I finally make em workable again, we aren't going to have any rain until who knows when, MONTHS maybe.

This morning was also very strange. After weeks of overcast cloudy mornings the girls woke up early. They hadn't seen so much light in their room in a long time, they'd forgotten about the sun. And the little one was slow and grumpy and slightly difficult until... until she got her helmet, gloves and glasses on. By the time she was on the trail-a-bike (TAB) her mood changed and she was a bubbly chatty happy little girl. Pretty amazing transformation. And we had a great talk all the way there. It is hard to hear her talking from inside the trailer, but up on the TAB she's easy to hear and it is just a great way to start the day.

Now it is catch up time.
