Piplup and I went for a ride after the sun went down and enjoyed the nice weather and fresh air. We even came across a few deer! Very cool. Oh, and I also picked up the mail. I love the Brompton Borough bag. It holds so much.
I went for a ride this evening, hoping the rain held off. It was about 7 pm and getting dark, so I wore my beautiful hi-viz reflective “vest”. Better safe than sorry!
Today at lunch I rode down to the neighborhood park to practice casting with a new fishing rod and reel. I got a Kastking baitcaster which is my first baitcaster type reel. It’s challenging to use! But it’s fun to learn, and the mistakes I’ve made practicing here at the grassy field were a great learning experience. The “birds nests” that I created weren’t too terrible!
But it’ll take a while before I am able to cast with decent distance effectively. Lots of fun, though!
I rode my Brompton to pick up the mail this evening, and the weather and light was so beautiful that I went for a nice ride around the neighborhood. Blue hour is so great!
A new park just opened in our town, and it has a large lake at its center. I went with Piplup to check out the fishing, and although we didn’t catch anything, we had a very nice ride. And as a bonus, I got a tip about a good fishing spot from another fisherman. Score!
