I knew earlier this year I planned to ride less miles on my bicycle. And I have. Sort of. Ok, a few less miles than last year. So I guess I have ridden less miles. How many miles? As of November 1 I have ridden 6060 miles this year. Less than last year by a little bit. What can I say... I like riding my bicycle. And Patti doesn't live in Montana anymore so she can't convince me every week to go hiking to some lake or mountain top instead.
I have been finding stuff on the side of the road as I bicycle. I have lots of bungee cords. Complete cords usually. Or a bungee cord missing one hook. I also have lots of bungee cord hooks as I also find broken bungee cords with a hook.
I also have lots of gloves. A complete pair of gloves is not commonly found. But a large number of gloves can be paired if I find the other hand of that type of glove another day. And if they don't match, the livestock and manure don't mind if the gloves don't match.
I find a few shoes. Usually only one shoe and not a pair. Doesn't matter. The few I found in my size I use when I have to go in the river to check my irrigation intake, or walk in the river due to the cattle. The river bottom is rocky/gravely so a shoe is needed. Again, the shoes don't need to match in looks in the water.
I found a collapsible fishing net the other day. And for whatever reason, this year, over time, I have found three or four large metal hooks for chains.
