There are no pics this week.

I thought I was making great progress in the training for my Bike and Hike. So I decided to do long and hard rides 2 days in a row (Monday and Tuesday). Tuesday evening I had problems with leg cramping. Wednesday I was tired and took the day off. Wednesday afternoon I felt better and decided to ride up to Target to get a few things. It’s a 1.5 mile ride round trip. And it was not pretty. Four years ago I could do this stuff. Now I can’t. So I decided to cancel the “Bike and Hike” in the Adirondacks. Instead, I will drive from hotel to hotel, use the bike to get from the hotel to the trailhead, and do the hikes. I’m calling my new plan “Bikes, Boots, and Automobiles”.

Danita’s birthday was yesterday, and I blew it. Half of my mind said “Danita’s birthday is on August 8”. The other half of my mind said “Danita’s birthday is coming up.” But the third half of my mind never said “Today’s August 8”. I didn’t score very many points. I had plenty of clues — including, we took advantage of one of Danita’s birthday freebies when we went to dinner Thursday.

I’m making great progress on the new website. It’s functioning almost the way we want. Content has been moved over from the original website. The E-calendar is up and running. Our Office Manager said she would enter the events in the calendar this week. We’re meeting Tuesday to discuss processes and procedures. I still have to install some security modules, but nobody looking at the site can see that. What they can see is that the site doesn’t look at all like what we want it to look like. And that’s my next project. I’m not sure how much I’ll get done before going to Alaska, but it looks like we’ll be close enough to show it to the community and ask for feedback.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
