Morning gang. It's another lovely day here. Temps are back up to the mid 90's this week but the humidity has lessened greatly so it's pretty pleasant as long as you aren't in the direct sun. Today is weightlifting day so I'll step on the scale for the first time since rejoining when we go to the gym. It's been 10 days so I…

Afternoon all. Mary that's huge. I'm so glad you are taking care of you no matter how that is. We just got back from a 11 mile bike ride. My sit bones sure know it was the second ride in 2 days. Yikes. We move condos on Wednesday so goal today it to cook up or toss any food I don't want to move. And finish the OJ and rum.…

Morning gang I have no doubt we caught the bug at the gym. It's the only place we go where we touch lots if things. Need to be even more vigilant about hand washing in the future. It's substantially cooler this morning, 77 now but was closer to 70 ar sunrise. Ron in the hot tub now and I might join him after coffee. I…

Morning BBB We decided against going to the gym yesterday so I don't have a weekly WI but i bet I can't ant beat 5.4...congrats on your dedication. Mary crazy neighborhood drama. Hope it all works out. Lee you have earned the right to 'judge' the others in the group. Hope it gets worked out. Today i have my volunteer gig…

Morning gang. Finally no fever. Still don't feel 100% but way better. We didn't have any tests but assume this was covid. This would be our first time...our vaccine is over a year old. Today is gym day but probably won't go. It's probably where we caught our bug. But definitely need to do something...maybe we will just go…

Morning gang. My oura ring is still showing I'm running a low grade fever. I was really hoping to get back to normal life today but I'm guessing it's another low key day. Glad im not still working. Maybe I'll head to the pool for some movement. Biggest point shockers so far with the recommitment of tracking: -the handful…

Morning gang Feeling better today but still running a bit of a fever and slept terrible. But we are both a little stir crazy after being at home for 3+ days straight. I think after coffee we are heading out for a drive. I pretty much watched the entire series of The Closer in the last 3 days. I think i only have a few more…

Morning gang. Ron and I are both sick. Headaches and fever are biggest symptoms. I feel less crappy today so might actually get out of my pj's and make something for breakfast. Glad we don't have anything on the calendar that can't be skipped. Enjoy the day off to all who get one.

Morning gang. Happy hour was canceled last night and since I didn't want to spend point for just us to have a drink we went for a drive instead. We found several hiking trailheads and checked out the parking situation for the bicycle event we might go watch tonight. It's a 8 km lap race...as many laps as you can do in 4…

Morning gang. Today is my volunteer day at the thrift shop. Then happy hour after. Rejoined WW yesterday. We all know tracking works and while the plan hasn't changed much since I was an active member last my 6 point dinner salad we eat most nights is 9 in Mexico. They must really soak the dried cranberries in sugar vs the…

Morning gang Happy birthday Kelly Today is weightlifting and massage day. This will be his 3rd since we have arrived. First 2 were non repeats. This one comes highly recommended but I have learned it's very subjective. She is also the best priced because she comes to your house vs having a studio.

Morning gang. Took a lovely bike ride yesterday, but it's been over a year since we road very many miles so we are both a bit sore this morning. Planning to take the day off from a real workout and head to the last little town we can visit before we need to get an TIP (import tax). We will get one later if we decide to…

Morning gang My BIL has a smoker (more than one I think) he makes a minute steak Philly cheese steak that is to die for. In the top 10 of my favorite meals. Bike ride today then it's housework day. We don't have a weekly cleaner here so it's not as tidy as I would like. We are having them come tomorrow for bathrooms and…

Morning gang Fun poems guys Mary I'll ask my sister about knives. She is a chef so will have an option in all price ranges. Mary do you know abou the Farm Art Dtour. I think it's pretty close to you. A friend recommended.…

Mine are Fall Summer Spring and Winter We will get cooler where we are. Hopefully soon. Winter is 60-75 daily ranges which is perfect. I'm fine if i never see Winter again. I do miss fall.

Morning crew. Glad you had fun at the trials even if there wasn't a ribbon involved. No big plans here today. It's a little overcast so maybe a hike. Many venues have music on Sunday afternoons so maybe we will check out somewhere new. Still over 95 everyday for the extended Forcast. There was a small hurricane brewing…

Morning gang. Have fasting bloodwork this morning then my volunteer shift at the thrift shop. Safe travels home.

Morning gang Headed to town for the gym this morning and a doctor appointment this afternoon. Mostly a check up but I've also been not feeling great lately. I'm expecting to be told I have high cholesterol. I was border line last time and have gained some weight since then. Sigh. I'm ready for cooler temps so I feel like…

Morning BBB Yikes Lou. Sounds frustrating. It's another hot and humid day. I'm up earlier than normal so we can get in a bike ride this morning. I'm ready for fall....there appears to be some interesting routes we can take but it's been so hot I don't want to get too far from home. I don't bounce back in the heat as well…

Morning gang. Not sure of the plans today. I was going to suggest a road trip to the beach town up the coast, but remembered it's a Mexican holiday (inauguration of the new president) so now not sure we should go due to traffic. Good luck in Vegas.

Morning gang No we aren't looking to buy...we are definitely renters at least for the next decade. And after watching things get built I don't think we would ever buy in Mexico. There are lots of furnished rental options....if we lowered our wishlist we would have even more options. Today headed into town for a gym workout…

Morning BBB Lee my BIL is a salesman for Gingerich structures. They build high quality post and beam buildings. I 'think' they go as far west as Colorado ( his territory is most of southern nebraska) he has been with them for a long time, back when there was only 8 employees. Today is a little cooler and overcast so we are…

Morning gang Nothing major planned today. Maybe a bike ride now that Ron's tire is fixed. It's been more than a year since we've ridden so it will be short. Or the nearby dragonfruit farm is giving samples and selling fruit at a nearby Plaza. But only until 10:30 so if we are going to do that i need to get in gear. We will…

Hope the storm doesn't cause any of you troubles. It's back up into the 100's here for a couple of days. Our hike yesterday was killer. We only did about 5 miles put the sun and heat really took it out of me. We toured the high rise condo yesterday. It's a bit out of town (better biking), has its own gym and pickle ball…

Morning gang. Went for a decent hike yesterday right from our condo. Looks like it kept going as a loop but we had an appointment so did an out and back in case we couldn't get thru. Will try again another day. Looked at a house. It was beautiful, brand new with new Mexico charm, super kitchen and big TV. But the view…

I love Facebook and Google photos time hops. Huge hugs Lou. My favorites are the crazy messages from my mom a recent one sent as a post not a DM "Dont know where you are traveling (I was working the travel job then) but big storms headed your way, or at least to Ron. You should check on him" 100% describes her in two…

Morning gang. Colorado Springs area is lovely. And having grandparents near is a huge blessing for a kid. It's a shame the US health insurance world is so backwards. Heading to guaymas today. We are going to join the gym there. Ron prefers it to the one here in town and the crossfire place we stopped at the other day. I…

Happy anniversary Sam and Joanne. We went for a hike this morning. It went well but got pretty hot before we made it back to the car. I foresee a chill afternoon on the patio.

Morning gang It's our anniversary today. 22 years. We have nothing planned but will likely go fir a hike soon and then there is an art show at the Plaza tonight. Back is still hurting a bit but walking doesn't seem to bother it. It's really sitting for long periods and bending. I'm going to volunteer at the thrift shop…

Morning gang Our maintainable guy came yesterday and moved out all the patio furniture and put the screens back on (We were on the edge of the hurricane zone) it's going to be lovely to sit out there. But he must have done something to the hot tub when he serviced 8t as now it won't turn on. Sign. I placed an order for…
