September, Two Rolling Stones

This is our R1250 RT with custom seat. 

8 Sep:  Early departure for Montrose, Colorado.

7 Sep, Sunday:

6 Sep:

5 Sep:  Box to be shipped although the forecast calls for rain.

4 Sep:  At noon-thirty, we have walked the loop around the subdivision once.  Cynthia has packed her saddlebag to see how much she can fit inside (not much!)  Ron has completed his first pass thru the index and now needs to take recycling to the County Transfer Station.  After feeding our faces, Ron rode to the recycling center with the mountain of recycling from the past six weeks, cardboard, clamshell plastics, etc.  We walked in the evening for a total of 4.51 miles and returned to our motel to go back to work.  Ron re-packed Cynthia's saddlebag and discovered that she can carry another outfit.  He then packed the box for shipping things back to Texas and was amazed that the return box was smaller than the original.

Cynthia got a pedicure

3 Sep:  On this gorgeous day in Pagosa Springs, the housekeeper has cleaned our room.  Cynthia has bathed and eaten and is ready for her nail and pedicure appointment.  Ron has been working on the index for Vol. 2.  Life is very good despite that  Cynthia tripped and fell on the trail to the nail salon.  Every year so far, she has fallen once as we begin hiking; this year was no exception.  We enjoyed a pasta salad with salmon dinner at Gustoso’s.

2 Sep:  By evening, Ron finished the edits for Volume Two; next, he needs to proof the index and re-insert it.  We slept beautifully, and we had a great walk with perfect 73-degree temperature under the most gorgeous blue sky.  A mother deer and her “teenage” son ignored us as we passed by.  With tonight’s second walk, we achieved a total of 4.35 miles, 10,929 steps. 

1 Sep:  Pritikin says. “You can eat ice cream on your own birthday, just not on everyone else’s birthdays.”  We could not help ourselves since it is Cynthia’s third great-grandmother, Brynhild Olsdatter Gandrud’s birthday, born 247 years ago in Flaa, Norway.  Right?  Happy Birthday, Bestemor.  The ice cream was delicious.  The first day of September is beautiful.  Ron worked on Vol. Two all afternoon.  We accidentally sent Vol Three as an edit file instead of a .pdf; Barb caught it, and we submitted the correct file.  Cynthia’s right hand is in a brace so she one-finger corrected some Brooks genealogy.
