Buenos Nachos from Chez Gear-Lu!
I would be remiss if I didn’t start with an apology- Being alone, trying to find time to finish what needed to be done on a daily basis as people were asking me things they needed to know about things that were going on… I got overwhelmed at times, and as a result, a bit cranky. This isn’t the first time that’s happened but this year it seemed that I was cranky more often than usual. The glaring, obvious truth is that I’m a lot older and fatter than I was when I first did the Gear Truck solo… Eleventy Gajillion years ago. There’s three things I need to change before next year: 1) I need to get younger. 2) I need to get rid of all this weight I gained when I quit smoking a couple years ago. and 3) I need a high school or college age student to help me out for the full seven days.
So, since it seems I can’t do anything about #1, and can only beg, plead and cajole to remedy #3, I guess my focus will have to be #2- Which, probably means something foolish and rash, like getting back on my bicycle… or *Gasp* Joining a gym.
WHICH…
Brings us back to option #3… PLEASE! SOMEBODY HELP ME!! I’M BEGGIN’ YA!!! I’M TOO OLD FOR THIS CRAP!!! I’M DYING OVER HERE!!!

Keep the wind at your back and the downhills in front of you
