I drove my car down to the disc golf course and played an eighteen basket round with a couple of younger people. It was kind of windy and I didn't play too well because of it. The new Matrix midrange disc I purchased yesterday was flying very well. I like it a lot and I was using it on many of my throws today.
I was nice to be out on the course again after all the snowy, rainy and difficult weather.
I would have rode my e-bike but I'm getting a bit annoyed at people yelling at me. I guess I'll just stick to burning as much fossil fuel as I can before it all runs out, lol.
On Sunday afternoon when I was riding my e-bike down to the store, I didn't use a right turn hand signal. The road was not busy but a guy waiting to turn left from a stop sign got really annoyed at me and yelled out his car window.
Normally I do use hand signals but I was going downhill rather fast and there was a bunch of debris in the side of the rode. The wind had blown some stuff there and it was very difficult to slow down on the wet road. I needed both hands on the brakes to slow safely enough to make the right turn.
In this case if I were to signal with my right hand I would not be able to use the rear brake. The car, after seeing my signal might start moving out in front of me. If the front wheel starts to lock up and slip on all the leaves and junk in the road I might not be able to make the right turn and end of sliding under the now moving car.
Actually, technically I didn't use a hand signal and I did make him wait a few seconds longer that he needed to and I misjudged my speed and how slick the road was. Selfish of me I suppose and probably not understandable by anyone who hasn't gone down hard on a motorcycle or bicycle on slick surfaces.
Taken out on the disc golf course today:
The snow out on the distance peaks kind of looks like ski runs but it is just the harvesting of timber. I'd rather they left the trees alone and used other stuff for products. There is almost nothing anyone individually can do about it but protests do happen, especially when they try to take the old growth trees.
It has been a bit difficult dealing with things recently but I'm very happy to be able to get out there and get my exercise.

Yikes! Sounds like you were lucky going downhill. That could have been tragic! You'de be pucking gravel out of your skin for weeks.
Glad it went well. People can be so rude! It's moments tjat he waited, not the end of the world. Where is common courtesy?
Hi @lightsplasher!
Hi back! Nice to hear from you as always. Winter riding can be hard with all the different things on the road and difficult visibility. I'm usually able to deal with it but it seems like the aggressive motorists have been getting to me a bit more recently.
I agree! People have gotten short tempered.
It is very difficult to play well in hostile weather. Caution should be exercised while driving in such an environment.
It can be more challenging to play disc golf in the winter and riding the e-bike is harder too. I'm usually pretty careful but I do like to get out there in nature every day if possible.
You can play better. Keep going and keep going. Take care of the road. You be careful.
Thanks! I sure will be careful.
Some of these people I swear would rather have something bad happen to you than to wait an extra 10 seconds. I dont know what has happened to how people act anymore.
I think a lot of people are struggling with a lot of different things. I know I have.
May your days always be pleasant.
Hope you are well there too.
Thank you. I've managed to keep healthy and I sure enjoy being out there in nature.
Looks like you are doing more activities today like basketball, cycling and taking photography of the beautiful scenery on the golf course. Stay healthy and enjoy!
Thank you. It sure is fun to get out there on the disc golf course. Basketball is a bit too much for me to do anymore though. (I have some troubles with my knee that can flair up if I run and jump too much on it.)
the water is so clear, it looks like a lot of fish in it. it is very suitable for us to develop a fish farming business
There are many people fishing in the river when the salmon come up it. I have never tried it myself but it looks like many people got a lot of fish last time.
people are very happy when they get salmon, why don't you do it, don't you like fishing.
Maybe the driver behind you is in a hurry, it can be seen from his impatience.
Well... we have to be more careful on the road because there are all kinds of people with different conditions there.
The winter conditions can be difficult enough that it seems like I might be better off in a car even for those short trips.
Well...
you have a point.
