May 12 - ready to roll

I did go for a bike ride and it was very, very hot.   I was tempted to cut it short, but what the heck.  I might as well be prepared for heat, because no doubt I'll get some (hoping !). 

Hamid asked me if I had a room booked in Leesburg and it jolted me into realizing that the Shenandoah is coming soon ... yikes !

I talked to Jason and he has the internet going.  It was probably a case of the modem needed resetting with a time lag, but he also checked all the Cat5 connections so who knows.

The car is packed but not quite to the ceiling.  We'll have to find a couple more items to remedy that !  Speaking of the car, I've gotten "post cat" O2 sensor codes a couple of times now; not surprising, I guess.  That one isn't consistent.  Let's see if the X gets us up north first, before considering any more.

I've now got most of the hurricane shutters closed, save the dining room, loft and kitchen sliders and of course the front door.  Those will be "on our way out" chores, since it's depressing in here with no natural light.  Even at night you can see things out the windows.

I also have to secure the garage door.  That's another last-minute item.

I had my workout with John this a.m.   I was dripping wet.  10 burpees; 10 push-ups, 10 overhead bar, 20 squats -- repeat 6 times.  Then, presses with the bar, varying weight, 20x + lift weights out front -- repeat 3 times.  Then, biceps on machine, 10x2 grips -- repeat 3 times.  Then, 5's, 8's, 10's out to the side + 10's overhead -- repeat 3 times.  Finish up with sit-ups and bicycles lying on my back, repeat a couple of times and a one-minute plank. 

I have most of what I need to put together routines like this up north.  Doing it is another matter.  Why do I have to pay someone to supervise ?

Well ... have to get organized.  We should be out of here around 10am.

Onward !
