If we ever have another dry Friday.

Friday was wet again, so I went on Saturday -- and not until I tried
to open the door did I remember that Duck, Down, and Above isn't open
on weekends.

Ah well, it was a glorious day for a ride, and I learned that when I
come back with two panniers of frozen stuff, I want to go up on the
west side of the lake and come back on the east. The eastern route is
much shorter, and the hill on 200 W is easier northbound. I looked at
it southbound, chickened out, and took 400 N to 300 W. More total
climbing, but not all in one piece.

By coming back on the west side, I arrived at home with piled-up
panniers anyway. I bought Open Air Nursery and Greenhouses out of
annual rye grass seed -- three pounds -- got peanuts in the shell at
Carniceria San Jose', went to Zales -- they were out of AREDS2, but I
found a back-up for my Levothyroxin pill planner. The old one is
still in perfect condition, but this is the first one I've seen in at
least five years, so I thought it wise to buy it and stash it away.

Besides, you can't tell that plastic is wearing out until it breaks.

The final fill was at Owen's, where I re-arranged my panniers to make
space for cream and cheese, then went back in and bought a gallon of
milk.

Stacy's Sports Bar won't be open until next week, if then, but I had a
nice ham-in-cheese sauce "pizza pod" or "pizza pop" at the Marathon
station. The wrapping wasn't pizza dough, and I'm pretty sure it
wasn't even yeast bread. More like croissant than like biscuit, not
at all like pie crust.
