Night Ride

Turned into Hofmann Trails instead of the Tosa Trails.


















We found some tires for Chad




















Sugs is thinking about cutting a hole in the side of this truck so we can ride up in and out. The Sugaland trails are taking shape.
















































And this here wagon, I thought it was Russells old ride. Stay tuned for a planned night ride on these intersting Hofmann Trails with a partay to follow!

Success and Excuses

Sugs and I were having a conversation in the garage last night after he got home. He was showing me how to "correctly" do some basic things with my Paragon, like taking on and off my wheel. I have to admit I have taken for granted the fact that my Hubby is a biker and that he just takes care of my bike for me! That's got to change. I had some problems out on a ride yesterday and felt helpless. Sugs offered to give me a few lessons.

This is the first year with Disc Brakes and without racing/riding much this year, it was never a problem. But now, as I gear up for the winter training and riding, it was good to get a lesson. Thanks Sugs! when can we arrange my next one? I'll meet you in the garage.

While getting my lesson about the bike, we also got to talking about making Excuses and Success, realizing that if you are going to make excuses, you will never have success, and vice versa, they do not go hand in hand!

No more excuses from me! I have a plan to maintain a positive perspective, keep a focus on doing the right things and rising above the distraction of the everyday events.

Ultimately this will help me keep the focus on what my life is about and what I want it to be.

My thoughts for the Day

Events happen in our lives daily that give us a reason to reflect, sometimes those events are minor and sometimes they may be almost overwhelming. In any case, it is during this time, that we can reflect and do what what we can to either help or change the outcome.




It's time to enjoy this beautiful Sunday!

My Fun Day!



Today was a day of pampering. It started with a good workout at the gym.


Then off to the salon! It was everything I needed and almost everything I wanted.


Looking forward to seeing Sugs tomorrow. I'm sure there will be many stories from his adventures of doing the Iceman!
Next year, this race will be in my plans. Along with a promise to Sugs that I will take the bus to get the truck! Lots of training to do over the Winter months.




Sugs bus ride after the race. He said "I was doing great until this part of the race."

A Day at the Pfister

Fun Day at the Pfister for a GI Medical Conference. It was more like a reunion for me since it's been almost two years that I moved from FMLH to VA. 18 years in the GI lab at FMLH, now going for another 18 at VA. What THEN? Retirement.


Me and Sheila
Me, Sherry and Tina






I wonder what she's thinking?



I guess this is the stairwell where the ghost of the Pfister roams!
