  Rode around the Santee valley this morning, looking for geocaches. It was pretty cold, around 39.0 °F, and after a while my teeth were starting to chatter.
  
  I had a, how shall I put this, somewhat gross hygiene emergency. Fortunately, I was able to find a restroom with running [...]

  Got up at six and headed out at thirty after, after consuming a measuring cup of water, Albertson's brand powdered milk, and Albertson's brand bran flakes. Yum!
  
  Found this Honda emblem on Fletcher Parkway, I think it was. Or very near so. You want it, let me know. One [...]

  I finally got on the bike this chilly morning and rode out to Santee via Mission Trails Park. It was 41 degrees F. with a 12 mph headwind through the canyon. I was freezing!
  
  I found some caches along the way, and didn't find some others. The Dam cache' [...]

  Not much to say today, except look out for black cars with tinted windows backing out of their driveway. They might not notice you cycling along. I gave the the A-ok sign and a big smile.
  
  Thirty-five miles on the trip meter for the week.
  
  I called [...]

  I didn't ride today, as I had the dentist thing. The dentist thing turned out fabulous, in that I don't have to have any work done. I did have to sit through a ten minute lecture and demonstration of how to floss and brush. Which I sorely needed, mind you! [...]

  A low of 47 ° F is claimed, but felt rather chillier than that, to me. I wore the red long-sleeved jersey, but no leg warmers. And the helmet liner kept my ears toasty warm.
  
  I mentioned that my helmet mirror broke off. I replaced with another mirror I [...]

  Rode out to Santee this sunny morning, and then back again.
  
  It was around 49.0 49.0° F in beautiful La Mesa when I took off at six-fifteen. I had the arm warmers on, under the blue jacket. The arm warmers tend to end up being wrist warmers after a [...]

  Went geocaching by bike this morning.
  
  Found a lock. And it's not locked! If I find a vacant hasp somewhere....
  
  
  
  Found a bunch of the caches. One might be up a tree. I sent an e-mail to the' [...]

  It's Friday the 13th. The boss was out with a moby toothache, there were ants in the foyer at work, and it's very cloudy.
  
  Well, I LIKE cloudy.
  
  Apparently, wearing reflective clothing and orange vests, sometimes even lights, don't help, they are still gonna get you!

  Is it Thursday already?
  
  It might sprinkle tonight, but I doubt. The weather was a bit cooler than usual this morning, and a bit cooler than that in the afternoon.
  
  A fellow on a bicycle passed me this morning on the frontage road. When the frontage road ended [...]

  I was stopped for a traffic signal this morning on Fletcher Parkway when two bicycling fellows came up from behind me. One said, "On your left," then passed me. The other did not say anything, and passed me on the right. They rode right through that red light! I followed [...]

  Surprise! I'm back!
  
  I took apart the pulleys to clean the crud and goop off of them, then I decided to take the derailer off and clean'n'grease the pivet. Well, I popped off the circlip that holds the bolt in there, and it flew off somewhere. I spent' [...]

  Another day, another caching trek. Found seven out of nine, couldn't find one, one had too many muggles both times I went past it. Even on a Sunday morning!
  
  I nailed the one at the Starbuck's, even though there were four police vehicles outside.
  
  I headed down to [...]

  I have had a marvelous week geocaching while bike riding. I've found ten since Monday, including some that were very elusive, at least for me. Today is overcast, maybe the sun will come out later, maybe it will rain. The forecast is not for rain, but it seems damp everywhere.[...]

  The clouds were so pink to the east this morning! It was a joy to be up and out.
  
  And I nailed two caches, two! Who rocks? I do!
  
  I might need to buy a new pair of gloves. Why is it always the left one? I'm right' [...]

  Another cache found in the dancerly light. It was a piece of cake.
  
  Speaking of, came across this yummy-looking dainty.
  
  
  
  Nothing interesting happened on the way home.
  
  I have just over thirty miles on [...]

  Found a geocache this morning that I've been searching for, off and on, for several YEARS. It was pretty much right where it was supposed to be. How about that?
  
  It is a little odd riding to work in the near daylight, and riding home in the near sunset,' [...]

  I got up at five, which was REALLY six, and left by six, which was REALLY seven.
  
  There was a lot of candy wrappers, and even candy, on some of the streets. You can tell which neighborhoods have a lot of kids! I only saw one smashed pumpkin, though.
