Dave & Sandy -- life in the bicycle lane: Aug 7 - if at first you don't succeed

http://thompsw.blogspot.com/2015/08/aug-7-if-at-first-you-dont-succeed.html

Dave and Sandy - life in the bicycle lane. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Aug 7 - if at first you don't succeed. I'm still playing around with the S&S case. The bike is packed, sans tie-downs and other stuff that I'll get into the bag, if I choose to use the bag. I could make more space by removing tires and tubes, probably get it to settle flatter . how far do I want to go? Terribly itchy. That should be alleviated today with the re-introduction of her usual medicine. Her appetite seems to be returni...Aug 1...

Dave & Sandy -- life in the bicycle lane: Aug 9 - last minute prep

http://thompsw.blogspot.com/2015/08/aug-9-last-minute-prep.html

Dave and Sandy - life in the bicycle lane. Monday, August 10, 2015. Aug 9 - last minute prep. 1) go for a ride. 2) retrieve cement mixer from Art. 3) put away Sandy's car. 5) go for a test ride on one of Jason's dirt bikes (motorized). 6) check out Gavin's new speakers. 7) change Verizon Wireless plans to include Global talk and data. 8) finish packing (yes, I keep coming back to that). 9) double-check checklists, it wouldn't be the first time that I've developed a checklist and not gone through it.

Dave & Sandy -- life in the bicycle lane: Aug 10 - on the road, then in the air

http://thompsw.blogspot.com/2015/08/aug-10-on-road-then-in-air.html

Dave and Sandy - life in the bicycle lane. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Aug 10 - on the road, then in the air. On the road - left the cottage around 9:30, a tad behind schedule but not much. It was actually an easy drive; less traffic on 17 than I'd expected, and we arrived at Sheryl's before 5:30. From that summer, I remember three survey sites - Plantagenet in the middle of the summer; somewhere on Guelph Line in the Hamilton/Brantford area near the end of the summer and, for the first week or two, a few ...

Dave & Sandy -- life in the bicycle lane: Aug 13 - partly assembled

http://thompsw.blogspot.com/2015/08/aug-12-partly-assembled.html

Dave and Sandy - life in the bicycle lane. Thursday, August 13, 2015. Aug 13 - partly assembled. At this point it doesn't look like I'll have to attach the fenders. At 10%, it looks like we might stay dry. That would be great. They'll be in the car, so if things changed along the way, I could attach in Loudeac. Sandy checked things out and we planned to do a Mumms tour at 11:30. It was only a five minute walk . by car . whoops! Fascinating. Oh yes, that 25km of tunnels? After Mumms, we had lunch and then...

Dave & Sandy -- life in the bicycle lane: Aug 12 - so far so good

http://thompsw.blogspot.com/2015/08/aug-12-so-far-so-good.html

Dave and Sandy - life in the bicycle lane. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Aug 12 - so far so good. I actually slept until almost 5am. That's pretty good, considering the 6 hour time difference . We had an easy trip to the airport; traffic was light; then an early dinner with Jim and Sheryl at the same restaurant that we'd had dinner a year ago prior to the trip to the UK, with Michael. Three of us had the half-rack of ribs, which were great; Sandy had . I think . a skewer of something. I've had it with Euro...

Dave & Sandy -- life in the bicycle lane: Aug 8 - feeling stronger every day

http://thompsw.blogspot.com/2015/08/aug-8-feeling-stronger-every-day.html

Dave and Sandy - life in the bicycle lane. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Aug 8 - feeling stronger every day. Abby seems to be on the mend. She's now taking her usual anti-itch medicine that she needs for skin allergies and it seems to have tamed things down. She's also, in my observation, feeling more spry, getting up and down stairs easier. She's eagerly eating her food, albeit not quite finishing . but will grab all her normal treats . things are looking up! Posted by Dave Thompson. Aug 12-Sep 11 - Italy.
