In the afternoon, I drove to Zales, then to Aldi, where I walked around for an hour or more. No cycling weather in sight. Thursday, 11 January 2024 8:55 AM 1/11/2024 I have a sore spot on my right upper arm, right where I get IM shots. I find it difficult to put my head on it, but sleeping on it is the only way way I could have bruised it. No discoloration. The bruises from the blood draws are still evident. I limp a bit after sitting too quietly, and if I pay attention the hip aches, but it appears that I may get through a whole year without more prednisolone. 8:36 AM 1/12/2024 Dave had a realliy-bad backache yesterday, and his hearing got a lot worse suddenliy. 6:30 AM 1/13/2024 He recovered from both, and has begun doing back exercises. I caught myself with my head resting on the sore muscle in my right arm. Can't see my draw bruises by screen light, but I'm sure they are still there. Might be able to ride on Tuesday or Wednesday. Goal of riding to Spring Creek while I can carry cheese without carrying ice does not look feasible. 12:29 AM 1/14/2024 I think it was yesterday that I drove to Zales, and picked up an Ultimate Porker on the way home. Dave had the left-over sub for lunch today and I killed the meatloaf.

Thank goodness I wasn't in bed at the time! So I'm washing all my clothes today. Had a runny bowl movement not long ago. 9:11 AM 1/23/2024 Saturday, 27 January 2024 3:42 PM 2/17/2024 11:16 11:26 - ??:??

Ah! I signed in at Kroger, then remembered that I wanted to go to the teller machine first! I made another entry in the Banner at 12:23, which puts a limit on when I left.

Sunday, 11 February 2024 1:11 AM 2/12/2024 I skipped one of the staircases in the church, but climbed its mate twice. I had slept through the night, so I did my midnight exercises in the fellowship hall.

By ten, Boy's City looked as though Park Avenue would be useable, but I doubted that I could make it to the end of the driveway. I changed the bed and washed the sheet, together with a bunch of cases I took off pillows yesterday and most of my sweat rags.

Saturday, 24 February 2024 Once again a perfect sunny low-wind day, and it snowed in the night. I'm going anyhow. I may have to walk all the way up McKinley, as that is a low-priority street. 7:09 PM 2/24/2024 Only icy street was a strip in the shadow of the railroad bridge on McKinley street. Parking lots were messy. I deliberately fiddle-faddled around before starting, to give the sun and the traffic time to work.

Google maps adamantly refuses to show me what won't fit on Linux's horizontal screen, but switching to pedestrian and back to bicycle restored the instrusive tag, which informed me that an approximation of the route I took was 15.9 miles. I left off a lot of zig-zags, so that's at least sixteen miles -- still a long way from the twenty I was shooting for. But I did walk a lot. I do believe that I forgot to add the leg from Kroger to home. But I've closed the tab now, and it adds less than a mile and a half. I wonder whether there is a paid version of Google that would allow more zig-zags in a path?

Google Maps says 2.5 miles to the courthouse, so I'll call the first leg of the ride five miles. An approximation of the second leg is 5.4 miles. To the beginning of the cross-country trails, 1.8 miles From corner of Sunset Drive to Habitat, one mile. From corner of Sunset to turn-around, 1.3 miles Back by the same route, 2(1.8 + 1.3)=2(3.1)=6.2 5 + 5.4 + 6.2 = 16.6 miles ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Monday 13 May 2024 1:05 AM 5/13/2024 Hey, it's been a year since my most-recent round of steroid! The bike is in the shop. On Saturday, I drove to the fairgrounds and the library, walked from the library to the courthouse, and rode the flatfoot to the ice rink. I got all out of breath riding the flatfoot, so I climbed stairs in the church yesterday.
