Grumblings

Goose had made plans to ride Sunday afternoon. I was actually happy to hear that, he hadn't really been on the bike in 3 weeks (well except for the one time with me doing Hillacious). I actually thought he would plan on riding about 1:30-2:00 time frame - the weather forecast was warmer and the sun would be out.

After Mass he began setting everything up. Those that have been to our home know you pass through the kitchen to get to the family room. He made MANY trips from the back of the house to the family room - I am in the kitchen trying to get the chili started ------- every time he walked through he grumbled about the weather - it was cold - who decided to ride outside today - this went only for about an hour. He finally got ready and wanted to ride up the street to make sure he was dressed warm enough (he did decide to take off one of the jerseys and wear his jacked)- the big green team van pulled in they (Big Tim and Craig) got ready to ride. Craig shared with me the route and I had to chuckle. I asked Goose if he wanted to know the route - nope, he knew he hadn't been riding and they would kill him, didn't matter what route.

After they headed out I decided to ride to No Slackers. I hadn't used that DVD in a while and when I hit the 5K prologue I remembered why I put it away last year. I got through it and really need to ride it more - we'll see, I really love Hillacious.

When I got done I thought I would go outside to try and get a picture of Goose coming back down the street. They had been gone I thought long enough. Well I got cold standing outside, came back in to warm up and he was home - Missed the picture. People that know Jeff are very aware that he hates to ride when it is cold or rainy.

Oh - Egg said he rode really well given the fact he hasn't ridden in a long time. Tim and Craig came in for a while (long enough to see Jeff's engineer suit). Jeff did get his work done outside but didn't take him long to saw logs when he went to bed.

LOL - Goose is hot to "TROT". And he is still breathing today!

Thanks for getting him out of the house (and my hair).

Hey Goose.. you gonna pull for me on Thursday morning? You'll have to slow down a bit, though. OK, a lot!

Dobo - You will be fine - your run times are excellent. At Goose's age if he slows down he might forget what he was doing!

See ya there ----- helpful hint - dont' start where they tell you. So many really slow people start at the front to get on the news they clog up the start.
