Saturday Solo Ride

 Solo 46 miles today.  Freaking windy but I survived.  I did run into Glenn F, youtuber and strava buddy.  Turned out to be a nice guy, glad I finally got to meet him after several years.  He and his gang ride low trikes.  I did get to snap a few pics later on down the trail as I stopped to chat with Ron and Dixie.  

I had bought a pair of gloves for Ron. Same gloves I've been using from RockBros on ebay.  Around 15 bucks and I like them more than my other gloves, Louie G and another name brand that slips my mind at the moment. 

Ron had asked about the gloves previously so I bought a pair for him.  I guess that's how confident I am that he'd like them,  I just paid for them myself.  Sounds like I'm a great guy but Ron and Dixie have been great friends.  Dixie was awesome talking to Gina when her son passed away so heck man, I should have gotten Dixie a pair too ha ha ha.  

Ron and Dixie,  a couple of a few that have been awesome friends to Gina, and me.

So little gifts like that,  though not expensive can mean a lot to the gifter knowing they could do a little something for a friend. 

So a good chat with Ron and Dixie and good to know they see a change in me, for the better after what I went through last year.  I feel great   happy   and having fun at work doing inspection on Itty bitty tiny parts. Big difference from working out in the sun with steel toe boots. 

Enjoying the bike, the freedom,  the job, the food, the money 💰   and most of all,  Gina. 🥰

Easter Weekend Rides

 Sunday 

Nice easy ride. Couple weeks off and not much riding,  legs are stiff from yesterday so I took it easy. Not to mention not going to bed till 2 am. Couple of underpasses flooded so crawled under the bridge with the homeless.  Got smart and walked across Valley on the return.  That's what I get for following along.  Tried my other new shorts, again.  I'd give the edge to Black Bibs over Aerotech Design.  Too bad BB has lousy customer service. 🤣

Saturday 

Testing out the new Aerotech Design touring shorts.  Good pad but those giant mesh pockets along both sides are kind of weird.  But they work. Long ride after a couple weeks off and my Easter eggs are OK. 😄

The Black Bibs a wee bit better but oh well.

Just enjoying life more than ever before!  Gina is something else. Her employer gave her a dollar raise 6 months ago   then again this past week. I  was making a couple more than she but after a couple raises, she's a hair,  a buck behind me now.   Grrr! 😆😄😆 But we're doing really well now bringing home the bacon.  🥓  

It's a good life with good people. 

 

Laughlin Weekend

 No riding this weekend.  Took a vacation day on Friday so that I could take Gina and her Mom to Laughlin.  We had reservations even before the rain so was a bit worrisome thinking the place might be washed away. 

But nope, very smooth easy ride Friday morning. Got here and everything is very nice.  No worries 👍 

So not too many people here making it nice. 

Just having a blast eating everything that gets in my way ha ha ha.  Outback at the Aquarius was really good

 Nice long weekend to relax. The girls play slots, can't seem to get myself to dump money.  So I sit out the casinos just taking in fresh air relaxing.  

I'm guessing some people think I'm homeless carrying around my backpack. 😄 It's my camera bag but they don't know. 

Dinner at the Aquarius overlooking the river.  Doesn't show much in the pic. But if you look at the lower left of the image,  you will see Gina and I in the reflection.  I'm holding the camera. 😃
