I did it--not really

I count my biking miles from Sunday through Saturday so today is the last day of the week.  I did it in terms of my weak goal--at least 6 miles a day.  BUT really 42.40 miles in a week is really only a day or two ride so I guess I have to shoot for MORE.  Maybe an average of 7+ miles a day next week.  I know that is also weak weak but maybe going slowly up up is OK for an old guy!
Terry and I spent much of yesterday doing returns and things that needed to be done.  We finally got those TWO orders of blinds returned and then a return to Costco as well.  We started the day with Joe H coming over as Terry was on her daily walk.  Joe will give us a bid on putting in window inserts in the 4 kitchen windows.  I think our house budget can absorb maybe two windows this summer and two next.  Now that I am 70 1/2+ I need to take an RMD and I think that will pay for two.  If anyone is reading this and doesn't know "RMD" you can google it!
S & S tree service came on Thursday and looked at the backyard birch tree.  Actually Xcel had come the day before and trimmed a lot so I may not have any more done.  The cost of a sling and trimming would be $600+ which I doubt is necessary now.  What the heck, $600 to trim a tree!!!
We enjoyed a lunch at Surly yesterday.  Their food is so good.  I tried a seasonal beer and it was maybe a B- for my taste. 
Today needs to see some serious work up stairs.  I also need to do some weed kill and gardening watering.  Oh, I did relocate a bunny this morning.  They have been hard to catch and relocate and I am sure I caught one of about a dozen around here.  Squirrels are much more open to being relocated!
FP is gone and I am on to the work schedule.
