Well, after I cleaned the house, mowed the lawn, raked debris from the past few thunderstorms, moved some branches that the thunderstorms brought down, trimmed the shrubs, cleaned out the gutters, drained the gas and changed the oil in the snowblower (I'm a little behind), added seed to the feeders (I have gorgeous rose-breasted and evening grosbeaks I want to keep happy), prepared some sugar water for the hummingbirds, and ripped some lumber to make 5 more tomato stakes - I treated myself to hill intervals. Ugh. Actually I enjoyed it in some strange way. I haven't done hill repeats in a while and I felt I really needed it. I've been commuting to work this season and I guess I feel satiated with my week riding and haven't been going out both weekend days. I'm on vacation now so I'll be able to focus on some hills and some longer rides, more core work and alotta stretching.

It was threatening storms all day but nothing hit my area. It's been really cool where I am. I don't ever use AC, don't like it - but I've still been wearing a flannel top and using a comforter at night it's been so cool. One week last month it was warm but not outrageous out here.

Yippee. Vacation. Bike bike bike.
