Messed Up

Today’s bike ride just seemed messed up. It started with the usual Saturday morning prep routine, and then just as I’m about to get on to the bike I start up the Wahoo Fitness iPhone app to record the ride and deliver data to the RFLKT, but it won’t start. I end up deleting the Read More …

As with any cottage of a certain age, there are a number of quirks that have developed over the years.

Cooler Day

First cool (20°) and cloudy day so far this vacation. Up until now it’s been hot & sunny, so a cooler day is welcome. Amazing how you can get lazy and sleep in when it’s not too bright outside. Contemplated a ride this morning, but rolled over for a few more zzzs instead. Caught the Read More …

Stillness

A clear sunny day greets us as we slowly wake up to a new day. The lake is so still and calm that the rhythmic paddling of a solo canoeist roused me from a light sleep. John is making his early rounds of the bay in his red Prospector. I slip away again into sleep. Read More …
