"Snow Day"

Again!!!
I've never seen anything like this.  I think that makes 7 or 8 days so far this year.  Last year I used my snow blower once, and it wasn't rally necessary that time.  This year it just doesn't stop.

But it was a silver lining kind of thing today.  It was already on my schedule to take Colb to the Ivey Institute in London to get his eyes checked, and I'm glad to report that the concern that brought him there is only a minor one.  When they started talking about retinal pigmentation we got just a wee bit nervous but like I said, all is well.  With the snow day Colby didn't miss any school, and we had the joint pleasure of spending most of the day together.


Of course him and I rarely like to miss an opportunity to have lunch together, and with his pupils all dilated he needed some protection.  Even while inside, the eyes can be pretty sensitive for several hours.


The other serendipitous thing about the snow was that I never went running.  Yup!  That's what I said.  It was a good thing that the snow kept me from running.  I was very tempted, but I am damn certain that staying home was the better idea.  I am still sore, and feel very tired.  I'm listening to my body!

And in turn there was one more benefit.  Since I didn't run, that left we with a little time to mess some more with my pedals.  I'm happy to report that I have everything working, and actually did a couple of little test rides.  I did three 5 minute test rides and am delirious in reporting that they worked flawlessly, and in almost perfect sync with my computrainer.  The pedals and the trainer were within 2 watts of each other for all the tests!!  EPIC!!

And in closing a leave you with  a few pictures of my grandsons eyeball.

The outside…a bit dilated



And the inside…too cool


So my workout today consisted of chauffeuring Colb around, and sitting in the hot tub at the Y while he was at his leadership course.  Life is good!
