Has anyone noticed a decline in posts?

Hey BleekerStGirl, I do have the proper clothes, believe me...I could supply a biking family I have so much clothing! (and I do ride in the winter providing the roads are ice free!) I sorta used that as an excuse. I hemmed all day about riding..and regretted it by 5pm. I did however get the last of the flower beds tended to, and all the planting containers taken care of, and got the last of all the outside stuff done before winter. SO all wasn't lost by not riding, but I used that breeze-ok wind-as an excuse. It made me ease my guilt of not being out on the bike, feeling the breeze in my face...

I find myself making lots of typos - basically typing as if I were drunk.

I make a lot of typos in any state. What must you all think of me? I am a drunk? Keep the AC too cold?

I make a lot of bizarre typos....fallout from brain surgery.

I couldn't type a coherent sentence for about a year after surgery. The thoughts were there but what came out was very strange.

For example, if I wanted to type, "The bird landed on the fence," what would come out of my fingers would be, "The baby laughed on the fryer." The brain cells were a little mixed up and tried to compensate for my very fast touch typing by throwing out anything close.

Funny thing is that the left brain stuff came out just fine on paper. "I could accurately do work at the lab and write, "One clear plastic bag containing a white powder substance that tested positive for Cocaine."

Every once in a while now a very strange word will creep into my typing and I often don't catch it on re-reading. But I'm healthy, happy, cancer-free (it was a benign tumor), and so I can settle for odd words now and then. It adds a little splice.....er...splatter....er spice.

The boyfriend chose our latest dog. He chose a German Shorthaired Pointer. GSPs wreck the house when they get bored. And I started a session of guitar lessons again. Between dog exercising and practice, there goes my computer time.

Well gardening is just as valid as biking in my book- it definitely counts!
I took a beautiful cool biking day off recently to clean up my tomato patch for winter. Cleaning up gardens is way easier in the dry fall than in the wet spring with the ground half frozen.

Hi Gang - I have not posted much at all (even through the summer) because I was, 1. having a really tough time emotionally; 2. alone and a newlywed and 3. extremely busy with work. The easiest thing to do was to check the boards and log in only if I felt the desire to post. Otherwise, I kinda kept to myself.

Life is better now (though I hope it will be much better in the next few weeks) and I may surface more often in the coming weeks. We'll see....

My lack of posting has nothing to do with the change in the weather; instead, it has everything to do with the chaos in my life. Believe me, this group of women is the most wonderful in the world. I have met two of my closest friends right here on TE. I will keep checking and will post as often as possible.

My best to everyone and please - keep posting! I love reading what you have to say and every now and then I will comment.

OOOOXXXX -jane

BF and I are going to keep cycling! Yay for So Cal weather. But maybe we'll even buy a trainer. We'll see.

I haven't been posting because I started work and moved to a new place. Been very busy and i'm often too tired at the end of the day to post.

I enjoy scanning the latest posts, but a move, new job and broken toe has almost put my riding to a halt. With the colder weather upon us I'll mostly be exercising indoors if my foot ever gets better.
I love reading the tour and ride accounts during the winter so keep them coming you gals in the warm climates.

I could whine about the @!!* insane training I've been doing....
