Biking and Blogging

    This year I will be trying to top my bike mileage from 2012, which was 7 miles short of being 600 miles.  After not riding for over 5 years, I got started biking again in March on my old Walmart special, a Roadmaster 10 speed. That lasted about 90 miles, until the purchase of a used 93 Trek 930 MB.  Wow, what a difference having 21 speeds makes.  In July, because of working outside in the scorching heat and too busy of a schedule in September there was no added miles for those months.

    Another thing that I will be working on, is my blogging.  It would be nice to get that going a lot better too.  It was much easier to do a little note now and then from my nice little Samsung Flight 2 cell, with a nice QWERTY keyboard.  It was stolen in July and since then, only have old cell phones that do not work properly.  In a few months a new, probably android, cell phone and possibly with a different wireless provider, will be mine.  Seriously....  I have been an AT&T customer since 93 and really like the coverage, customer service and phones, but switching to a smartphone plan is just way too expensive with them.  There are lots of other alternatives, though  the coverage, and customer service may be questionable, so research has been going on for several months now and the alternatives are being scrutinized before the final decision.  Hopefully it will be a smooth transition.

Organizing

I have been spending time linking my blog and twitter to build a few connections and hopefully learning how to use the features of both more. Need to be getting many more things done, but it is so easy to start reading others tweets and blogs, which is informative, though very time consuming.  Visited one of my favorite knitting blogs... The Yarn Harlot and it took a lot of will power to keep from reading more than a few days.  Of course a visit back is on the agenda in the near future.

It will be nice to get in the habit of using pics on each blog, hopefully soon.  Just need to be more organized in general, because certain things must be done, but it doesn't seem like everything should be so time consuming.  One thing cut way back on in my schedule, is going to the store, since it is a real time and money saver just not to.  When shopping it is important to save money by watching sales adds, use coupons and check for rebates/register rewards.  Keeping a list, comparing prices with a calculator and trying to get only what is needed helps to save money and time.

Progress

So far so good.  This hasn't been difficult at all so far, just a little time consuming to set up.  If you have been thinking of starting a blog...  I would say... Go for it, unless you are really technologically challenged it should not be a problem and in that case, see of a friend will help get set up and started.

Even a very small step toward a goal is still progress.
