The Bikes are in Portland
Thanks to FedEx Tracking, I can see that the bikes have arrived in Portland. That is good news and it looks as if they should arrive in Astoria according to plan. Tracking is a nice feature especially since our FedEx person usually does a hit-and- run. In fact, when I checked on the progress of the bikes, I also checked on another package that was to be delivered today. It was delivered over an hour ago, but the delivery person didn’t even bother knocking on the door.
That packaged contained yet another piece of tech equipment – an iPod Shuffle. Now to find some dirges to put in it so that I can have an appropriate selection of musical tunes.
We only have one more day to receive some last-minute bike stuff that we ordered. The folding tires are on backorder, but we have only needed a new tire once or twice.
In the past few days, I have downloaded software to the laptop and figured out the helmet cam, new camera and the drawbacks of my digital tape recorder. I put up things on Freecyle and recycled lots of other things.
Tomorrow, our daughter is giving us a going away bbq. We live with her after starting that new trend of moving in with your kids after they finish college instead of the usual situation. Actually, we are helping her remodel the house that she bought, but work has slowed down since we have been renovating another house for the past year.

So I guess the blog is like a tracking number that the rest of us can use to figure out where the two of you are, eh? Happy pedaling!
