Things are likely to go wrong. Aren't you concerned?

Today is Mr.Aire's birthday. We went for a run along the water. Left a note and tip for the housekeeper. Came back, she was in the hall. Spoke to her. She seemed nice. Showered and went for breakfast. Tip and note still on table. Did sightseeing, had food,, and bought some stuff in the Columbia store. Came back to the room 6 hours later. Tip is gone, note in trash, nothing at all done in room. Trash is still in cans, towels as we left them, etc... We aren't that messy it is the principle of the thing-- she took the money and did not even empty the trash. EvenMr.Aire is annoyed. We wentt to the desk. They called the head housekeeper to come inspect the room. For some reason this pissed me off--- like I could not tell the crumpled note was in the trash with the dental floss and it wasn't emptied She comes in and says it isn't acceptable and asks us to leave so she can clean it. Really. We just got back. No thanks-just give us some fresh towels. She did. I told her that she deserved the tip because she actually tried. Then I attempted to give her $20. She would not take it. All in all, it leaves a bad taste and we won't stay here again even thought people seemed nice at first glance. Bought some wine and 25 year cheddar--- cheese is better than the wine. Since we had a big lunch, we will probably call this dinner. I also got some Sugar Rush cupcakes because it is a birthday. Mine is Chocolate Moccha . Mr. Aire;s is black forest. We did not buy any with bacon or pepperoni on them because that is just wrong. Now we are reading and relaxing and drinking wine.

Vacuumed two cars, two to go, then a Ruby walk and hopefully a ride if the roads have dried up enough. Then 60 Minutes tonight. Listening to the Smiths now. roadsue, where are you? Now off to the park for a Ruby walk and a stop for fresh apples on the way back.

46F mostly cloudy with a high of 67. Perfection. Furnace didn't kick on. I have on fuzzy jammies. Made coffee and breakfast, and now I am listening to Megadeath and getting charged up to lead an all girls ride. Project Badass is coming with, but she is all freaked out. The girl has not stayed with it, after my Summer work hiatus. I don't get people sometimes. She bought a $4000 bike and rode it 4 times this Summer. WTF? I wonder why she bought it. She was charged up. Then, three months later has lost interest. I had to really push to get her to go today. I should just give up on her. She spit out the hook that I thought I had properly sunk into her cheek. You have to show some sort of interest. She said she only likes to ride with me. I can't do another season of being her cheerleader. We will see how today goes. I have 7 girls going. One gal is 13. Let's get it, Ladies!

I don't see how we could draw any other conclusion.

Streaming live coverage. Just amazing. My friend Jim has a few more miles on the bike.

64 miles, West Yellowstone to Old Faithful and back. Sunny, 35-59 degrees, no wind on the first section to Madison Junction, then less than the usual winds for the remainder of the ride.

25 miles around town. I stopped at my rival HS

25 to my granddaughter's soccer tournament game. Then 3 to the corn maze and back on the fargo across field lanes. First time riding the fargo since the GAP/C&O trip.

27.8 on Brutus, 1841 feet of climbing, 9.4 mph average I wasn't feeling great after mile 3 or so. I got stung by a bee on my temple. I tossed back a Benadryl and a Naproxen and then went on. The Benadryl made me tired and the bee sting made my eye swell. Otherwise, it was a perfect day. I have ridden everyday this month, so far. Who else got some riding in today?

Shhhhh. Don't tell cheese but my casement windows have regular screens on the inside.

Well, I'da bought fresh cheese & 25 yo wine. But that's me. ? So, when you gonna give Mr Aire his present?

SW has implied that some of my posts are just flagrant attempts to increase my post count. I would never ever do that.

I can't believe Mrs Scooter didn't want to check out our annual Scootoberfest today.

YAY!! I wanna go along!

In Italy, if they serve gelato like this then they give you an ice-a cream-a cone-a

Left eye is half swollen shut. I will wear dark glasses, so people don't have to look at me. Luckily, I can still host my ride today. Unfortunately, I will have to slow down for my descents.

47° but sunny Turned on the furnace when I got up and made coffee May be riding w/ the club at 2:30. Have a good one.

Very funny. Come out here and be sassy like that. I dare you.

Ran bag or recycle down to see if the washers were open...they were...ran down with two loads of clothes..but forgot my money You can't wash clothes without money I should have my fitbit on...2 flights of stairs each time I come back up At this rate...I will need a nap before lunch

Mom is out visiting. Went apple picking yesterday and had a fine turkey dinner.

We've been traveling down to spend ThanksHappyGiving at our son's the last few years, but not this year. Who knows what the plans are this year? All I do know, it's meatloaf tonight.

Poutine is disgusting but curling is awesome.

I can't assume anything. Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to sleep in a tent out in the carport with Sam to show solidarity. This is dangerous as it is unkempt and I have seen 2 snakes hanging out there recently. I do this because I am RO's godfather.

Last I heard he was out chasing Marie and her 43 kids. He will be fine.

Then you have time to pull weeds on the patio

Aboot 20 miles on a nice cool but cloudy day. I was happy to get it n before the rains came. Wonderful ride.

biggest number ever associated with my jock.

MrsChris and I aren't really satisfied with your stucco work.

Now that the operation is over, Wilbur can say "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt."

Normally yes, at the end of the stay, but no we do not factor in room rate. By the way, my letter to the motel with the late night visitors was successful. The manager even offered to comp us a room on our next stay in town.

When I came out of the closet I had to put a whole new wardrobe back in.

When Matthew was giving me hell last night, I was wishing I lived in Greenville.

Glass, you have to keep the windows cranked shut.

Yes, truly. They also make pull down screens for those of you who live in less desirable areas unlike my Greenville.

Forgive me, but I'm a bit puzzled why you would ask a bike-related question here... I thought this was the Forum for advice on thank you notes and casement windows.

I think he is more likely to be dancing with Cyd Charisse.

How do they ever pronounce Bruce Cockburn Bruce CO-bern? Just one more weird thing aboot Kanada.

You could have just dug up the last word thread.

Over 400 yards passing. It would be a perfect end to the football season if Goodell had to hand the Lombardi Trophy to the very guy he tried to defame as a cheater.

Whatever. A little Megadeath never hurts.

I spent much of my life scoffing at curlers, then I tried it. Great social game and a lot of fun. Especially the beer leagues. Poutine is disgusting. I guess the French left their taste on the other side of the Atlantic.

About the incredible bongo band

he is eating his edibles

One must be very cautious when posting pictures here.

A marathon in 245, after the swim and century! Wow

Absolute embarrassment.

And he parks at Fenway!! Goes to Mecca daily and doesn't even appreciate it. What a waste
