Lovely Weekend and maybe some thoughts
Absolutely gorgeous weather this weekend. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anselon did not make it by, which does happen on occasion. I got quite a few errands run on Saturday. This too is good. akesteven, Val and I went for a bike ride on Sunday. Well, it's perhaps more accurate to say that akesteven and I biked. Val walked. And after we got back, we hopped in the car to head to Pedal Performance where Val bought a bike, akesteven got a kickstand, and I got a little computer for my bike. Cause people keep asking me how far I went, and I can't tell them.
Now I will be able to. The wonders of technology - my bike now has a computer.
That was a really good bike ride though. I went from home to Lion's Point. I'm not sure how far it was (see above) but it was a very relaxing ride. Along the waterfront, past the water filtration plant that some of you know. The sun was shining, birds were fluttering around, not to mention squawking when someone got too close to them. A gentle breeze was blowing, keeping it from getting too hot. I still hate biking uphill, but down hill is fun. Funny, i feel the same way about cross country skiing. There were quite a few people out walking, jogging, blading, and biking. It was nice to see all the activity. Lots of folks with small kids and/or dogs. I made a point of saying good morning or wishing them a nice day. With a friendly smile.
It's neat to watch how different people react to that. Some of them just give you a shocked look and can't react quickly enough to say anything before you're past. Others laugh and return the sentiment. So far, nobody has responded negatively, though I did get a few wary, neutral type responses. They must have just moved away from the big city or something.
Val was very productive, and there's now an additional set of curtains up in my house. Well, 2 actually, though one set is in my guest bedroom. And we discussed how to rearrange the computer room, since that's something that needs doing.
We watched some Dragonball something or other too. Or at least, akesteven did, instead of doing the DVD course she's supposed to be learning, and Val did. I was roleplaying at the time, but I peeked over every once in a while. Sheer disbelief in some cases had me staring at the screen. Talk about a soap opera. Those dancing Bala Bala brothers were just wrong.
In rp ... well, Yasmin is doomed. There's just no hope for her now.
And I posted wayyyy too many logs.
Course, I'm still not caught up. Probably, I never will be.
But that's okay - it gives me a goal.
