First nice day in a long time

Finally the heat and humidity are gone.  It's about 82 degrees and really comfortable outside.  Went for two bike rides today!  I'm still at Lakepoint, so I rode out to the golf course entrance on the frontage road and back...twice.  Days like this I feel I could ride for a very long. time.  Also did some fishing on the deck.  This is the life!

At Lakepoint Club chillen out.  What a great day.  Riding here is hard because of all the gravel, but it can be done.

What a miserable day! I went for my ride at 8:00 and it was so humid I could hardly breath. Had to cut my ride short. came back and sat on the driveway for a few minutes to cool down. Today is supposed to be the hottest and most humid day of the year. Gonna hunker down in the coolest  room in the house.

Another ugly day, but not as hot, just very humid. Went for a bike ride about 8:15 in the morning. Went further than I ever have this morning. Got up to the 9 mile marker. The trail South of me is very secluded, but it blocks a lot of the wind and keeps you in the shade most of the time. Not much else going on. Went to my mothers last night for her 81st birthday. All the siblings pitched in and bought her a lap top. Poor Johnny is stuck helping her learn. This is going to be fun.

90's and humid. We have another week of this humidity to deal with. Ugh

Had 5 grandkids sleep over last night. Very interesting to say the least. I woke up early and they were all up and playing at the kitchen table. A good time for me to go for a bike ride.

Last night was a concert in Wheaton with the Joliet American Legion Band. It was 92 degrees and humid. It was horrible in those damn wool uniforms. Got to be a better way.

I've decided to help out my heart and ride my bike every morning, and if I can at night. It's not easy when you let yourself get out of shape, but it will be worth it if I can keep it up. The hot weather forces me to get up early before it gets really hot and humid. I miss our great May and June.
