The cool respite lasted one day through the next morning and since it has been HOT. It just dropped to 89 from 90 at 7:00 p.m. as I write this post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, although I opened up when I woke, I had all shut and A\/C on by 8:30 a.m. We are comfortable. The A\/C and some small fans have kept temps in Wild Thing II 71-74F. Emmett and I take 2 long walks in the morning and then just short walks through the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did ride my bike to town yesterday morning. There are two safe ways: one is a beautiful new bike path and the other is a controlled crosswalk across the highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the bike path. The RV park manager told me about it or I wouldn’t have known … no signage and it did not come up on the 2 trail apps I use. Not only does it go the 1 mile into Ronan but in the other direction the 11 miles to Polson. I’m not ready for that long of a trip but something to work up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A link to a bit of my return ride below … <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sped the video up and if you have volume on it sounds like I am on a speedway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed ride!<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I intended to ride into the grocery store this morning, but it got too warm too fast and it looked like we would get rain and maybe a thunderstorm. We did get a few sprinkles of rain but no storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing I was completely out of was mayonnaise and I had all necessary to make my own so I did. I’m a bit low on milk so will see how things are in the morning. I leave here Monday morning so not super critical and more that I enjoy the bike and want to be riding regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t see these mountains from my site, but the dog walking area allows great views and they are always changing: color, clouds … mood:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traffic noise and heat … not much I can do about either, but we are enjoying mornings in the cool and inside projects in the heat of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9:20 P.M. Last outs. … sunset<\/p>\n\n\n\n
