My Actifit Report Card: February 26 2026 - Alive and Thriving Thursday Bike Rides!

Hello friends and happy Thursday evening I wish you and also want to thank you for your visit!

This is today's activity report, which aside from some house chores, etc were on the bike. And still a little sore from the Kidney Infection, but today I decided that no matter what I am doing better and I have to stop laying around so...
"Out I Went"!
I actually took two short rides so that I didn't get too sore, one in the a.m. and one in the afternoon.
So I took out Brutus and headed towards the Park for the first time (on the bike) in a week,

The first thing that I noticed was the water was gone again!
This is a look towards Padre Island,

And South down the Shoreline,

That's a lot of Beach where normally there is almost none!

I also saw this Blackbird hanging around under the Shade Structure,

Speaking of which looks like this from the Pier side with the Water Treatment Facility in the background,

This Seagull was in the water trying to fight the wind,

I also found a few Wildflowers as the Season is just getting started!
This is a Firewheels I saw,

Along with this Golden Tickseed/Golden Wave - aka "Ladybird Johnson" with a bee!

And a few Camphorweed blooming,

After that I headed home and after lunch and a rest I went back out, I was trying to catch up for lost time - not riding all week!
Well, first I noticed the tide had gotten even a little lower, as you can see from the Seagulls,

I left the Park so I could get the step-count count up. Riding around the neighborhood I saw these Primrose on the side of the road,

And at this point I figured if I rode to the Park and headed home I would be around "5000" steps and the rest would be from house chores, eating, etc..
When I got to the Park I did take another photo. This is "way out in the Channel" between here and Mustang Island,

Yes, they are Dredging - which means...
The water level has become an issue. I saw a few Barges out there and they were probably starting to have some problems because the Channel has become too Shallow.
This is a "first"! I saw them taking the Dredging boats up N.A.S. Drive yesterday, but didn't think much of it - now I know!

And that was it for my #aliveandthriving Thursday!
I want to Thank You for your visit and wish you a Very Blessed, Happy, and Safe Friday and Weekend!
