Note: There are no pictures this week. I am writing this on Monday, July 29.

Everybody asks me about how I feel after riding the BRP. But nobody asks how my fingers feel after all that blogging. My poor little fingertips are nearly numb! If you think I worked hard, my bike worked harder. I wore the brake pads down to a nub, for one thing. It’s in the shop and will be ready for me to pick up next Monday.

I don’t have a whole lot to say. I got home in time for a neighborhood pot luck dinner Sunday. Unfortunately, I missed the Steel Band and catered dinner party last week. (But Danita didn’t.) Since we are only home a few days and since there was “no food in the house”, I convinced Danita to take a cooking holiday. We’re having fun eating all our meals out.

I got a new gig through ReServe at Nick’s Place. This is a half-way house for young men suffering from addiction. They got a grant to upgrade their computers and want to know how best to spend it. We hashed out a plan. They plan to buy the stuff. It will only take me a couple of days to do the work once the stuff is in.

Wednesday, we’re leaving for Reed Manor (as Jul calls it) via Natural Bridge. We’ll spend Wednesday evening in Natural Bridge. We will arrive at Jul’s Thursday afternoon. Danita has offered to cook for everybody. Friday, we will watch Bryon and Elizabeth while the day care mom takes a vacation day. We’ll stay Saturday, and head home Sunday. This will let Danita attend a meeting Monday and let me keep a doctor’s appointment.

That’s it for now. There might be pics of B & E next time. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
