Saturday Fun on Wheels

Saturday, 25-August-2007 - Veghel - Slept in today until 0930. Haven't been getting enough sleep since I got back from vacation. I need to get to bed around 2200, instead of 2400, in order to jump out of bed at 0600. Still need to fully unpack and put the suitcases away. I usually have Saturday mornings to myself. Marij gets up at 0530 on Saturdays to start work at 0600. I won't see her until after 1800 when she gets back from the Helmond market. Rosan usually works the late shift at MacDonalds, so she doesn't get up 'til around noon. Around 1545, I biked over to the Sligro meeting point to go skating with the Fun on Wheels group.

07-07-07 Live Earth

Saturday, 07-July-2007 - Rothera Point, Adelaide Island, Antartica - Live Earth performance. After breakfast, and mowing the lawn, I watched TV for a bit to get the feeling. Many people in the Netherlands and elsewhere around the world really want to do something to help save the Earth. Many more still need to get the message. What did you do today?

Fun on Wheels Sunday

Sunday, 1-July-2007 - Oss - Got up at 0715 to go skating. Checked the weather radar. With a little luck we'll stay dry today. Ate a good breakfast, and made sandwiches for along the way. Rode my bike to the carpool meeting point. Tineke planned the route today. She lives in this area and does a lot of bike riding and skating on her own. It was a super tour! Ten skaters and one moped rider, Toon--good for 41 km. Thanks to Toon for pulling me along part of the way. http://picasaweb.google.com/dale.weiss.planet/2007701_zo_oss

Saturday Afternoon Fun on Wheels

Saturday, 30-June-2007 - Boerdonk - I was watching the weather radar and looking at the sky to see if it was going to stay dry enough to go skating with the Fun-on-Wheels group. I hopped on my bike and made it to the Sligro meeting place just before the group took off at 1630. They decided to wait a couple of minutes for me to put on my skates. It's a rule that we always leave on time. We had seven skaters--good for 20 km. http://skaterdale.mijnalbums.nl/

Along My Jogging Route

Saturday, 30-June-2007 - Veghel - Slept in 'til 0930 today. Thought about eating a whole bag of corn chips last evening while watching a movie (sorry, Rosan), so I wanted to work that off before eating breakfast. I looked oustide at the weather, stretched, and started jogging in the direction of Vorstenbosch. After only a kilometer, I felt my left knee hurting, so I turned back. Then I remembered that I hadn't seen the sheep down the road in a while, so I decided to take is easy and continue to Vorstenbosch. Passed a nice corn field and took a picture for my brother-in-law, Steve. http://picasaweb.google.com/dale.weiss.planet/Saturday_jogging_30Jun2007
