I returned the snowblower to the shed after an early season tuneup and more than a few opportunities for use after that.  

Now bring on the late season snowstorm. 

 I went geocaching today with a short list of caches.  The first five were in Leonardo and were quick ones where I only had to walk a couple hundred feet to make the easy grabs.  Then I headed out to Hartshorne Woods in Atlantic Highlands.  Three caches to grab which involved much hiking and much climbing steep hills.  According to my iPhone apps I walked 5.2 miles with an accumulated elevation of thirty four floors.  Needless to say my legs were sore, especially the knees.  I have to remember to only put one hiking cache per list because my mind says I am young but my body is a bit older. 

Today I went for my second ride outdoors this year.  In the fall I had decided that this was the first year in a while where I would ride outdoors all winter, barring any sub freezing temps.  But one big snowfall which didn't melt for months put a stop to that.  Difficult to ride when there is no shoulder on the road.  So, today I went just over ten miles. Granted, that isn't a long ride but I am going to ease myself back into it.  Riding outside is different than riding with the bike on the trainer and watching TV.  Next ride should be Wednesday when again it will be around sixty.  That ride will be twelve or thirteen miles.  

 Last day of winter.  It really wasn't a bad one, but bad enough that I got to use my snowblower more than a couple times.  I did have to have it serviced mid season because it was running only in choke mode.  Now it runs like a charm.  On April 1st I will drain the gas and put it away until next year.  

In case anyone is interested, my reading list from last year totaled seventy books.  I chose not to provide a list here because it takes a bit of work and since nobody is reading this post it seems like a waste of time.

Perhaps the title of this blog should be changed since my lovely spouse has never contributed anything.  

 To think that I could have been blogging through the pandemic, with each daily post being almost exactly the same as the previous day.
