Peter's Week

Sunday night and just sitting here with my Lithuanian slippers by the Heat Dish, trying to ignore the fact that it's really getting to be winter outside.  Last night I was in Salt Lake and stopped by the Greene's to visit (and enjoy a penini) and as I left, there was four inches of snow on the BMW! I just about didn't make it back up the side road to Foothill drive.  Heading down the freeway, hose big Dodge trucks would drive by, spraying slosh from their big wheels...right into my window with a blasting sound like being hit by a metal chain. Slow going but made it home fine.  

So the highlight of the week has been cycle camp...even though I have to get up at 4:30 to get there! It's fairly close to the office so I'm done in plenty of time for work.  This week has been long, slow simulated hill climbs--three days of that to build strength and two days of high RPM spins to get legs limber.  Anyway, it's enjoyable and I'm already sleeping better.  A second highlight (due to calories burned cycling) was the Kiwi Lime Crumble Pie Beyond Glazed Doughnut (pictured).

For a lunch break one day, I went looking for tractors.  What do you think of this one?  Yeah...too expensive!
