Being in Kansas in Breeder has really shown me how much farming has become mechanized. Just a relatively few people get an awful lot done. Most people work alone or with only 2 or 3 other people. We saw 3 combines cutting hay all in the same field. They probably did the work of 100 men in one day. The combines can be GPS driven and almost on auto pilot. They are not as technical as planes but they have a lot to them that makes farming really efficient. It is hard to imagine how large the market is for grain, hay, meat and barley. Good people but little seems to change.
I am looking forward to our Triathlon. We go to Chicago next weekend to pick up new bikes. That will be fun because we will ride around Chicago. I have come to really enjoy that city so much. It seems safe, clean and full of life and opportunity. I even enjoy flying through the airport. I have concentrated on my running this week. I have mapped out a 30 minute run with a few hills. The hotel has just opened the pool. It is chilly but adequate. I run and swim today. I am ready to get back onto the bike as soon as possible. I am doing a lot of stretching and that is helping with my other exercising. Weight is coming off.

Good to hear you can stay active on the road. That's always tough b/c you just want to get to the hotel and chill out. I hope you like the new bike. Mom seems to be enjoying her's.
