What a terrific weekend! On Saturday, I went for an awesome motorcycle ride with my friend. We stopped at a Timmies in St. Catharines, then headed out for a very scenic ride through the Short Hills. The weather was perfect. My big blonde afro was whipping around behind me (sure makes us visible). Got a neat shot of our shadow:
Hopefully we can get one more ride in before bike season is over.
Another awesome day on Sunday. Mike and I went to the airport in the morning, went up in Vyctor to work on my hammer heads. It was good having another set of eyes to help me figure things out. Happy to say, I finally got it! It’s really a fun maneuver to do. I had another nice treat to look forward to after we landed. I was able to go up in a glider with the Air Cadets! It was so cool! We were up for over 20 minutes, then it started to rain. It was so neat to be up there in silence! We caught a thermal and were able to ascend quite a bit. The descent back down and landing were pretty cool! Soon after we came back down to Earth, the sky opened up. The second glider was brought out on the runway in preparation for the next flight. Thank goodness they’re high-wings!
Fortunately, it was a small rain cell and didn’t last too long:
So there you have it – went up in a glider and another item off my bucket list!
Since things come in three’s, so we had the hammer head success, the glider flight and then this:
My 2009 Corolla (name Lola) hit 50,000km! As you can tell, I don’t have to drive too much. I’m so lucky in that I can walk to work in under 10 minutes.
Back home, I had some kitties to clean (they never love baths but it must be done – little grease buckets!) Mya doesn’t need to be cleaned as often as the other goobers, and she screams while I’m cleaning her. Thankfully, she gets over it pretty quick.
Had to clean the Geckos too. As you can see, Zim was absolutely thrilled afterwards:
Life is good!
Today’s symptoms: I’m happy to say that I had a great sleepy last night. It’s about time. I’ve been dealing with insomnia for many months now so even getting only good night is a real blessing. Had some decent energy today and very few aches in pains. Yea!!!
