Got my exercise stationary bike all put together and doing 15/15 minutes am/pm

while I watch TV. Morning Joe for the am, The Chase (all reruns, sob) for the pm. Working to get to 30 minutes am/pm.

I figured that I wouldn't do the exercise without having the TV on to distract me. So far it's fine but nothing to write home about, to coin a phrase.

I vow no more chocolate once this bag of chocolates is finished.

Covid lessening and we are stepping out of our houses and gonna get some sunshine. Good for you.

I have been enjoying a combination. The Attendant on HBO was really good and reruns, closure, big bang. I have enjoyed a couple on netflex Ginny & Georgia, but one I do not remember the name is very good. She was in Greys Anatomy. Good show. I have watched some fun ones. I do not know I I have seen yours. Gonna check it out.

far from my house. I walked in almost any weather. They have a path and allow community people to walk on it. It's beautiful but you have to pause in golfing seasons if a golfer is concentrating on a shot. Good for us geezers.

I got an atlas and recorded my mileage with a marker. Went from Iowa to Mi, to DC. Down to FL., across texas and halfway up Cali. Made it a little more interesting.

After my "Gold's Gym" one broke down.

I do a 30 minute ride, watching stuff I DVR'd the night before, like the news.
