Apr 10 - dragging

I rode yesterday but it seemed like a lot of work.  That's happened before.  This morning, however, my session with John was even worse.  I feel fine, just don't have a lot of energy.  Hopefully it will come back for the 600k / 375 miles on the weekend !

It was a lovely day for a ride except for the darn east wind that made it seem like a headwind the entire time.  Perhaps that's why I'm dragging today too.  I really didn't do much else of note (never do), other than computer work.

Yes, this morning I'm typing into the blog from W7.  I'm also doing email from W7.  Slowly but surely I'm sorting through any missing programs and/or setup.  This morning, for instance, to update the online Randonneurs Ontario membership list I had to install Pdflite, the pdf printer.  Office 2007 has an export-to-pdf function but it was complaining about the printer, not sure why.  Pdflite was a problem too, since version 10 is infected with adware and I had to search for version 9 which is what I have installed on XP.  Every one of these sites and downloads were flagged with adware / malware and wanted to install extra crap.  It's actually tricky to avoid that extra crap, always have to opt for custom installation.

Anyway ... I'm getting there.

We had triggerfish for dinner, excellent as usual. 

Sandy, Marda and Patti Himes are getting together for lunch today.  Sandy has a dentist appointment at 11am, perhaps an abscess problem; perhaps a root canal in her future ?  We'll see.  It has to be dealt with before we got north and to Ireland. 

Today I'll get ready for tomorrow and Dick and I will likely head off after an early dinner.  Tomorrow at 5am we ride.

Onward !
