It kept me almost sane, for which I'm sure the Husband, the late great Mama, and Molly were glad.<br />Grocery shopping was easy-peasy. We try to shop organic as much as possible so being they cost more, there was a good selection at the store. No paper products or water, which we didn't need. I was surprised to see the empty shelves in the baking section. We ought to be good for at least another 2 weeks. Take care out there, Missy! Big hugs.Su-sieee!

There are notes saying, "Take just one," so that's promising. If I took you on a ride today you'd hear a lot of grinding gears.

Thumper is ...Hey there OFBB (Old Fart Blogger Bud)! Thumper is a good girl but I may be crossing the stream, gear wise, cuz, well, I'm an idiot. I like the name Tilda-Hilda, is there a story there? I wasn't riding Thumper more than once or twice a year for about 8 years and last year, not at all. <br />I've heard that about biking being good for knees, but from my experience, your knees have to be up to the challenge. Same thing with swimming. Let me know how grocery shopping went, I was going to go today, but another restless night.<br />The paths are the Glacial Drumlin and Sugar River trails, two of my favorites. The last photo is recent and taken in a nearby park where people were crowding me in and getting on my last nerve. I found a better place yesterday, but still too crowded for a misanthrope like myself, virus or not.

Thumper is an older model Neko Trek, some of which are made here in WI, and she is a sturdy beast. <br />She's got custom fit raised handle bars, new orange peddles, a cushy wide bottom seat, handy clip on pannier, extra under the seat storage, emergency pump, water bottle holder, front and rear reflectors, super bright front light, some kind of shock absorption which you can reach down and adjust while riding and a nice rack (ha).<br />I must hear more about these socks.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823269912693006949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483272378351524583.post-15395048625592197652020-03-25T10:17:13.504-05:002020-03-25T10:17:13.504-05:00Better safe than sorry is all I can say 😁.

Supposedly bicycling is good for the knees, so I really ought to give it a try. Maybe my knees won't hurt. I do miss riding Tilda-Hilda. We're gearing up to go to the grocery store tomorrow or Thursday, as early as we can get ourselves out the door. That's a cool lane you were pedaling on. I'm envious. Su-sieee!
