The Thursday Threesome...

Onesome: Things that go- What's the strangest contraption you've ever had to use to get from point A to point B? Gotta' be my blades (presuming ambulances and fire engines don't count <g>?); I once returned a computer part to a geekery several miles away by adding their place to my afternoon exercise route...

Twosome: Bump- Have you ever hurt yourself doing something you weren't supposed to be doing? Oh, heck yes. Ummm... Mom reads this from time to time so I'll pass on the details...

Threesome: In the night- Do you believe in things that go bump in the night or anything supernatural? Hmmm... You just know I'm going to toss the God thing in here don't you <g>? Go read Wonder if you haven't run across it yet...

How about you? Do you have answers to this week's T-3? Let us know, over on The Back Porch...

Saturday morning...

Morning came early today, heralded by a cat that needed more food than I'd left out last night. Both kids were still dead to the world, and Shelley didn't stir as I got up and grabbed my blading clothes on the way to feed the wee beastie. Herself dealt with, I headed out into the cool morning figuring I may as well get my workout in while it was still cool.

...but it was a bit more than cool for the tank top and swim shorts; the temperature was in the low fifties and there was even a mist rising in the hills to the East. The only sounds were the jake brake from a diesel on the main drag to the North and a jay doing his early morning griping about things in general. ...and the steady sound of my heart rate monitor as my body declined to wake up and come up to speed this early in the day.

There was only a breeze for a change and I was able to cruise along pretty much upright instead of having to work against the winds we've had lately. That let me look around a bit more for picture material rather than just catch a glimpse of a sunflower as I worked my way by.

...but by the halfway mark, the lack of coffee before heading out was beginning to show; and by the three quarter turn it was time to focus on the mechanics of blading rather than on the externals.

Home came soon enough; Shelley was still out (her first sleep-in morning in months), but both boys were awake. Brad was even coherent enough to head back out with me for a walk around the neighborhoods to see what the early morning sun was highlighting for us. Yeah, another hundred and a half photos or so, Sarah...
