A Productive Thanksgiving

It's been a day!  Actually, it's been three days.  

The day before Thanksgiving, we went to Walmart.  We went to the one way up north, where the wealthier demographic lives, hoping for better stuff.  The theory was correct, better stuff was available in the area with higher incomes. Fortunately, we were out of there by 1:30, just as the crowds were showing up.  On the way back, we stopped at Home Goods, but there was no interesting art to be had.  I bought a blue bowl and a non-stick baking sheet, which I will probably take back to Spokane in the spring.  We have two up there, but they have both started to stick.

The day of Thanksgiving we went for a bike ride, and did the hills.  Twenty days off the bike really lowered our fitness levels.  Then, and then, we cleaned the floors in the house.  It was exhausting.  The floors were really bad, I don't think they had been cleaned in a long time.  I vacuumed and used the Bona on the laminate floors, Jim ran the steamer on the tile.  We had been meaning to get to it, but hadn't until yesterday.  It was time.

It was a beautiful day outside.

Yesterday we changed out bike saddles.  It took forever.  My mountain bike saddle was really old, and hard.  The clamp on the seat post had dirt and sand in the threads of the screws that secure the rails of the saddle.  One of them never did unscrew due to grit and grime.  We persisted, and eventually got mine done.  Jim took his Trek saddle off and moved it to his mountain bike, and the Trek got a new saddle.  His went much easier than mine.  So, three out of four bikes got new saddles.

So, that was our three days of Thanksgiving.  It was productive, and we did not eat too much.  There was zero participation in Black Friday.
