My Actifit Report Card: May 4 2020

I mostly stayed around the house today and played with the puppy and did some other tasks. I went down to the store on the e-bike for a couple of items. I've been wearing a mask after I get off the e-bike and enter the store. Riding with a mask on would seem rather silly.

On the way back, I was riding up the street under the speed limit but faster than a normal bike and there was a person getting something out of his car that I passed. After riding bikes and motorcycles for some time I'm pretty aware of what kind of things can happen. Naturally I slowed down and moved over in the lane because no cars were around.

Sure enough the guy suddenly turned around and started walking into the street. I crammed on the brakes slowing quickly but he noticed me and stopped walking and said, "My bad."

I smiled and said, "No worries."

With an e-bike you do have to be able to anticipate things more because you are traveling faster and with less noise than a typical bicycle or car.

Later after dinner my son and I played a round of eighteen basket disc golf. We both had the same score at two over par. It felt like a good score for the round but I was a bit disappointed with my putting when I took four bogies in a row.

It is kind of strange but sometimes it feels like someone throws a switch and I just can't throw a putt right. I think what might be happening is I'm not flexing my wrist and moving the same as I usually do. Once I make a bad putt it is tough to get back into my usual relaxed form.

In any case it was a nice evening to be out playing.

Here's a couple of pictures of the new puppy I took today:

He was pretty happy to find this interesting looking stick. It kind of has a big spider looking feel to me.
