a beautiful 70 degree morning but a bit brisk with 20 mph from the north. I've been feeling very edgy recently. Didn't eat good Friday night as I attended a briefing at Kapamila. Couldn't eat the Filipino food...but...was glad to see all the characters of the 757 I've worked with over the years. The ride out to Surry was at least 90 minutes...far from the 60 minute drive I planned for. Consequently got there late. Very cold and breezy while standing in line. Pedro had to be waiting for at least 30 minutes. Got to riding and I just didn't feel right. I did have some unusual bowel movement recently. In any case, wasn't excited to do 100 miler. Settled for 50. Saw Larry the Filipino. He went out after eating spaghetti for lunch for another 25. Good for him. I settled for 50...and...very thankful for the ride with no incidences even though had a hard time inflating tires in the beginning. Life is great. Thank you Lord.
