It's been a rough week...we had crashes on both our Tuesday and Thursday night rides, and that's a rare thing. Hitting the deck is something that doesn't happen much on our training rides. Tuesday, Joe hit a hole or something as we were riding in the rain, and as he went down he took Jimi with him. They both got some road rash...maybe sliding on the wet road took out some of the sting. They were both riding tonight. But tonight Don took a tumble and got dinged up pretty good. It seems a big rock (or something) was kicked up by a passing car and hit Don's front wheel. He went down like a ton of bricks, luckily not taking anyone else with him...I was in the front of the group on both crashes....I never saw either one. Don will be fine but quite a bit sore when he wakes up Friday morning. All of our crashees are over 50 and it's something to bite the road at that age....takes a bit longer to recover sometimes.
Not much paying work going on right now so I have spent a lot of time working on the kitchen, patching up the remaining holes and trying my hand at plastering the walls. I'm doing pretty good so far but we've run into a hassle with Lowe's about our countertops. Seems they underquoted the price by 8 square feet! That's a tad more than the counters on both sides of our stove! How did they miss that? I'll drop in on them Friday and see what the deal is. This entire episode with Lowe's is turning into one big unbelievable joke.
