Tuesday On Tuesday

I’m finally going to get those last two dozen post offices in the far north and east of Oregon. Taking three days to get twenty of them, on another day just four to finish ’em, and in between there is an Everyday Driver curated romp around Utah.

Notice below, the Red Sox’s chance of making the Wild Card round is now greater than ninety-nine point nine percent. Inquiring minds want another decimal place.

Sunday On Monday

On Saturday I went for that bike ride and didn’t use the car. Yesterday, Sunday, I didn’t ride the bike, and I didn’t use the car either. I’m blaming Accuweather. They said it was going to rain in the morning; it didn’t. Then they said the rain would start in the afternoon; it didn’t. So it made me watch a bit of an NFL game, the Red Sox baseball game, and all of season five of Slow Horses. I hope they are sorry.

Sunday On Saturday

Tomorrow it’s supposed to rain, so I did the ride for a latte and muffin today. I’ve been slowly increasing the ride length, started out around 8 miles and grew steadily to about 12 miles. On one of my just bike rides, I stumbled onto a paved multi-use trail that runs due south for several miles. So today instead of returning directly from Stomping Grounds, I followed the trail for a few miles before turning back and ended up 18 1/2 miles.

Now for the rest of day I’ll be parked on the couch. There is a Red Sox baseball game to watch and it is on to season four of Slow Horses. I’m bingeing all five seasons because a new season starts on this coming Wednesday.

Just Another Haircut

I had no plans for today, so I decided to move Sunday’s haircut to today. I was then going to go ahead and ask retorically, “Now what will I do on Sunday?” But the NFL season has started, so there will be at least three football games on TV.

Not BBQ Wednesday

Leave a Comment

Today was another trip to Sandy, OR to go to Once Upon A Tome to buy a book because I have an upcoming haircut. It is on the calendar for Sunday, but I think I’ll go get it cut tomorrow. This is my third trip over, the first was solo, but the last one, and today, I was accompanied by a friend from the community. The plan, like the last time, was to hit the Sandbar BBQ before book shopping. When we pulled in the parking lot was empty and the lights weren’t on.

Checked Google Maps to find out if they weren’t open on Wednesdays. They are open on Wednesdays, just not until 4:00pm. I guess now that “summer” is over, they are changing Monday and Wednesday to no lunch service. We ended up at Sandy Family Restaurant & Ria’s Bar. I ordered a patty melt, while Trish had the BBQ sandwich, both were okay, but not to the Sandbar’s caliber.

Not Taco Tuesday

It was just another plain Tuesday.

Philosophical question: Is it better to post some sort of dribble about the typical day of yours truly, or just not write a post at all?”

So, as an alt I’ll just post a picture, because we all know that’s a thousands-word right there?
