Ride to the bridge

 Keri and I rode the trail as far as it currently goes. It was a very warm morning so we made our own breeze.

 Notice the 3 sheered off pylons,

Busy at everything but posting!

Monday Butch and I took a road trip to Rockwell City to touch base with my little sis Myrla. We had not seen her in quite some time. I talk to her on the phone every few months but it is not the same.
Myrla is a dog lover and she recently lost one of her fur babies, Peaches. Her other fur baby is Hewy and he is going on 15 which makes him a very old guy in human years, say about 115! Hewy weighs in the neighborhood of 150 pounds. He is descended from Wolf, the German Shepard, and Mastiff.  He has quite the lineage! He suffers from severe arthritis in his hindquarters and getting up and down is very laborious for him. Myrla helps him by putting a towel under his back legs and tummy to assist in the lift. We all grow old together.

I wanted to get a good picture of Hewy standing next to Myrla but Hewy wanted to lay down so I was only partially successful.

 Myrla is not overly fond of cats. But Hewy is, so Tippy is Hewy's cat.

 Best of Friends!

Subway is Keto Friendly!

Jason told me about getting a salad at Subway. He sounded positive about it but having been disappointed in trying to eat healthy in a fast food place before I was slightly skeptical. But while on a road trip yesterday we decided to give Subway a try and was most pleasantly surprised. For one thing, I think there has been a change in their menu because on the big board I read  " order any 6" sub as a salad". As luck would have it, a fellow a couple of spots ahead of me was ordering a salad so I paid close attention. Subway now has a special bowl and a chopping tool they use when you order a salad. Maybe they always have but I never noticed it before.
So I ordered a 6" Subway Club "as a salad"! She grabbed her trusty bowl and added all the ingredients they would normally put on a 6" Subway Club, asking me what kind of cheese I wanted and then what veggies I would choose just like usual with all of it going in the bowl. The next step was did I want lettuce or spinach or both. I opted for both and a healthy couple of handfuls also landed in the bowl. That was the bread replacement. Dressing? Yes, Ranch. And then do you want it as is or chopped? I chose chopped and she chopped away. She upturned the big bowl into a serving bowl with the final question being do you want crackers or croutons and I said neither. It was delicious!!! It is very reassuring to know that there is a fast food place to fall back on while on the road.
