This blog is missing pictures and those are on my phone. They consist of hiking pictures of the kids along the Rappahannock river, some bike parts, snow biking pictures, and some construction pictures as they dig in our backyard. Yes, go to Strava and you can see some.
As for the dig, half of the digging for the foundation is complete. That foundation gets inspected 3 times and due to some heavy rains today, it's delayed at least until tomorrow. And, the temps are dropping from 58F to 43F for highs. That may slow their progress as well.
As for the running, yes, I am, due to closed mountain biking trails. It is almost just as I left it. I don't mind it much, but really enjoy mountain biking. It is in the woods...and it is faster and more technical.
Today the kids and Niki are with Melanie and her kids. This is a weekly event, the playdate that never ends. Typically the ladies chat it up and the kids play. Sometimes it's here...and I usually will quietly sneak off to the woods with my bike. But, not only is it cold, but it is wet and the trails are saturated...or sometimes frozen and it's way to cold to bike. I have gone at 22F and just simply biked back home after riding up 10 yards of trail. In fact, that time, I ended up going into the FOR office to warm up before heading home. That's a 12 minute bike ride...get warm...then, bike 12 minutes back. Man, my toes were ice cubes and my face lost three epidermal layers on the way there. So, I tend to want the temperature to be above 32F. Even then, that is cold. But, nothing beats seeing the snow in the woods. And, a sunny 28F is plenty warm with the proper gear.
Anyway, this is not the major writing gig that I wanted. My only goal was to write everyday. And, I am. So, I hope more news of entertaining value hits my brain soon.
