May 1 Rest Day!

Happy May Day. Lovely Thai takeout dinner brought to us last night by Steven’s daughter Morgan and son-in-law Chase who are in Scottsdale for a long weekend! Always fun to see family.

Tom took his bike in to a local bike shop to have the disc brakes checked which have been making a strange scraping sound. Luckily no problems with the long steep downhills yesterday after all the climbing!

We got to have breakfast with a long-time work colleague of Tom’s, Bob Gooding, from the utility pole business days. And then fabulous massages! My therapist said when I get home I need to ask my massage therapist to give me a “left side unwinding” after my fall in New Orleans on March 30th! Stay tuned about that! Did the usual bookkeeping (gotta keep the businesses running at home), bike cleaning, scrubbing of water bottles, laundry and grocery shopping for the essentials to “feed the beasts”, aka ourselves! 🤣 Enjoyed dinner out at Zinc Bistro, a French restaurant in the swanky north Scottsdale area, with Morgan and Chase again.

Wanted to also share Tom’s fascination with Texas ranch gates/entrances as we cycled across that state. Even the most modest looking ranch homes, sometimes trailers, had often impressive ranch gates. And often times, no ranch house (yet?) had a gate. Enjoy the montage I created of Texas ranch gates.
