Solo ride but man did it feel tough. Is it me or is it always freaking windy all the time now? Well, some hanky panky last night surely took some out of the legs and really hard getting out of bed this morning. I almost stayed home but didn't ride on Christmas Eve day having it off. Gina had to work and I should have rode but a rain forecast later in the day, I got lazy and just lay around all day.
But today, a 43 and it seemed windy both ways but again, maybe just the legs. After the ride, I saw Pastor Sammy at the parking lot of the train station. I didn't recognize him with a hoodie on cleaning his bike. But later he came over and we say hey! Little bit of chat as I asked him how his ride was and he said he had to ride hoping to keep up with us younger guys. Ok ha ha ha, he's 46, I believe is what he said so I told him I was 61. Nice guy said he didn't think I was over 50. Ok, Pastor Sammy can't lie in front of God ha ha ha! SO I guess it's true and now you're reading it on the net.
But he did want to say a prayer as we got ready to part ways. He did put his arm around me as usual when he prays. I do appreciate it but since it was only us two, I figured it would be a quickie. Wrong ha ha ha! I think he went on for about 7 minutes. Though I appreciate it, I'm sure it looks kind of funny to the other people around, a couple of big guys holding each other in the parking lot ha ha ha! He says some good stuff and I appreciate it, it's all good ha ha ha! I was struggling to keep my footing a time or two feeling like I was going to stumble trying to hold still with his arm wrapped around me ha ha ha! Honestly though, I appreciate the prayers since he mentioned a few things about Gina and her departed sons. So like I said, it's all good!
But like I said, it was rough but I made it. Better than sitting around all day doing nothing wasting a day off work, paid ha ha ha!
Then went to dinner with Gina and Cecee, my MIL, AKA The Grinch. She doesn't believe much in celebrating or decorating for Christmas so it was actually kind of boring and plain. Next year, I'm doing something for sure, this was a little too plain. I wanted to make tamales but again, she's the Grinch ha ha ha!
And you know what, it's Christmas so I'm going to eat some ice cream! Been doing very well over the last 3 month so yeah, ice cream! I'll be taking another A1C blood test in the next couple weeks so I'm betting it will be much better. I think this is the first time eating ice cream in the last 3 months so I think I deserve at least one day ha ha ha!
The 57 heading South near Pathfinder. Wish it was like this on weekday mornings when I'm heading to work in Brea.
