–Ergon bike grips came. Nice.
–Used Taylor strips to test pool water. Said 0 chlorine (reagents agreed), low calcium hardness, high pH. Added another ton of chemicals, as I did two days ago. Getting worrisome.
Month: April 2020 (Page 1 of 3)
–Took a ride with Tom Elken; chatted a little afterwards. Nice.
–Got some corn and ground turkey patties while shopping; cooked ’em up on the Weber. Darn good.
–Got bagels at New York bagels. They said they would accept a phone order for next day bagels.
–Marie for dinner.
–Heard from Tom Elken. He’ll come over Tuesday for a bike ride.
–Took a bike ride earlier than usual (10ish). Weather was great, but JSMBT was really crowded. Kind of fatigued again going up Heartbreak Hill.
–Took a swim. Pool temp was 82 (fine with me), water had zero odor, length seems fine.
–Did a lot of pool chemistry. Temp is 83. Swim tomorrow!!
–Made cranberry-orange muffins for dessert.
–Talked to Michael Casserd about house sale. Lots of possibilities.
–Pool is getting warm. Did some chemistry–needs LOTS of additives. Got some calcium chloride at Callen (why did I buy calcium carbonate? God only knows.).
–Replaced hearing aid batteries around 6 PM.
–Put air in the cars’ tires and gas in the Beemer.
–Took a bike ride.
–Mowed the lawn.
–Installed a Planet Bike speedometer on the InnerLight, just like it used to be. Hopefully I can calibrate it.
–Walked to Bel Air to deposit checks at Heritage and check on check order. Tracking said it shipped on 3/16 and was delivered on 3/20. Wow. They stopped payment on those checks and ordered a new box, free of charge. Hope they come.
–Changed address at DMV–with some difficulty.
–Drove to Home Depot 14 miles away to recycle. They only take plastic bags, not bubble wrap and such.
–Pool was cloudy again and there was algae on the steps; controller said temp was 72 (5 degrees or so less than I measure at the surface). Shocked it.
–Took a shower. Shower is finally magnificent.
