  11. @ricefz Don't worry, it's a good kind of planning ahead. I'm enjoying this too.
  12. @ricefz thanks, but of course already thinking what if I hadn't been ill so many months this summer, or the days had been dry? Next year??
  13. I did it! 22 miles today. 2,501 for the "season." Ran out of light or would have kept going. 37 degrees F and cloudy, but only 10 mph.
  14. Ride out almost brutal—25-38 mph winds; ride home brilliant. (44 degrees F, Sunny.) 18.2 miles on Dec. 26 in Minneapolis!
  15. Finished binding final 4 books of 20 started Friday. They are drying under weights; all the others are stacked up. Lots of pages for 2012.
  16. 1 piece pineapple upside down cake = 1 serving of fruit, Right? Man it smells good, just out of the oven.
  17. @ricefz Yeah, that was years ago, with a quart a week habit. The break didn't last long. I eat less of it, but work more to afford both!
  18. 7 more books done. 4 left. Hands complaining. Time to make a pineapple upside down cake.
  19. @ricefz it is never too cold for ice cream! Never ever! One can always put on a sweater.
  20. Just finished casing in 5 more books. Today's total 9. (11 to go.) Off to read a bug book my friend Linda gave me.
