I went down twice on the mtb 2 days ago very similar to you (once on a wood bridge) I tried to figure out a way of posting the picture of the very purple bruise I now have, But there really wasn't any way of getting in focus with how close I had to take it and not show off other areas of my body I would rather not have others see.

We had one eff of a storm come through during my ride this afternoon. I was at the local metro park when it came in off the lake. Wild doesn't even come close. At one point the winds were well above 50 mph, quarter size hail three different times. I was taking shelter under one of the over sized gazebo's with a large extended familyprobably 40 people, as the worst of it swept in. They lost their entire barbecue, food, coolers, tents, everything. The lightening was the worst, at least 2 strikes hit inside the park. One was maybee 200 feet away, looked like it hit a tree. I can still see it when I close my eyes. Not my best planned ride ever.

I t used to be like that alot more when I was younger. I must admit, I havent had one like that in quite a few years. I just remember when they come in off the lake like that its not going to be any spring shower. And they come in backwards, most time our weather comes fron west, southwest. This one snuck in from the southeast, caught everybody off guard.

The volcano is only spewing steam. No longer a problem.

so yeasterday around 2:00 pm we decide to build a deck/patio (deck 6" off the ground). This is something we had been considering for a while and some lumbar was on sale so we said why not.
Deck is built approximatly 16'x13' with a additional little 4'x3 foot walk out section by 5:30 pm today. Dear God I am sore. Very functional very cheap and it it falls apart in >5 years it was worth it. Now she wants fruniture. I am also adding a 13'x4' flower box/ garden on the side.

Furniture is the easy part, unless you will be building your own.

Spent the weekend in Quincy, MA visiting my daughter and her boyfriend. We spend Sunday wandering around Newport RI, a favorite place of mine. Wonderful weather and time. Ate very yummy fried clam, whole not the pathetic "strips"...sheesh, plate with an equally good Sam Adams Summer Ale and a Harpoon Ale as well. What a great weekend.
Didn't get to ride my bike either day...left the poor girl home...

We went to the theater to see 'Robin Hood'. Even R. Crowe couldn't save that dog. Worst movie I've seen in years.
