Rise and shine!
My wife likes to shop at this specialized spice store,
I swear, they are indeed Au spices.

Good Morning.
When I woke this morning and showered, I wondered what auspices of teh day awaited me. I looked out the back window to see a wild turkey in the back yard. So apparently, my day will require Wild Turkey to successfully complete.
Durng my rehab from my recent knee surgery, I used an old Schwhinn Air Dyne exercycle as part of my therapy. I’ve owned a similar machine for years — an HD Airgometer. I tought they were “the same”, except one was half the price.
Well, they are not. Particularly in the upper body effort because of the pivot point on the arms. And the seat adjustment is also a little different, which is important to me because of the still limited range of motion of my knee. I found the Airdyne easy to use and the Airgometer to be painful. So, as silly as it seems, I thought I’d keep my eye peeled for a used Airdyne, since they last forever.
Well, my husband stopped at a nearby estate sale Sat. morning and found my bike for $8. Needed a new seat and a few small repairs. Required 2 trips across town to get the required parts. Parts are hard to find since Schwinn went out of business a few years ago and the name is now owned by somebody else. So, for less than $100, I have my very own AirDyne bike. It even has a book rack, although I can’t imagine trying to read at the same time I’m pedaling!
