“Bicycle Ride” Cedar Park, 2023

Today I rode my Brompton to the library to return “Making a Scene” by Constance Wu. I thought the book was pretty good, but some of the chapters I quickly skimmed over. I wasn’t too interested in the sexy scenes, but I thought the chapters about her family were more interesting, especially about her father. And I like her attitude about cars. Recommended!

Anyways, the ride was really nice, especially because the sky and clouds were so interesting. If you have a moment, please watch the ride video:

 “Fishing Brompton” Cedar Park, 2023

I went on a bike ride this afternoon with the intention of doing a bit of fishing, but I came up empty-handed. It’s ironic that the larger lake near my house is so unpredictable, while the small neighborhood pond is teeming with bluegill. But I do enjoy trying my luck at different lakes, and the bike ride itself was a lot of fun, so I’m not too disappointed.

“Bicycling with Piplup” Cedar Park, 2023

I got a new Insta360 X3 camera the other day, and I took Piplup for a ride to test it out. It’s amazing! I can capture angles that I’ve never been able to before, and the test-run was a lot of fun. I’m not sure if the footage is good enough for a YouTube video yet, but there will definitely be more to come.

 “Piplup and Sky” Cedar Park, 2023

The evenings are getting cooler which means I can go bicycling without the need for a follow-up shower. 😂

Tonight the clouds were very beautiful. And the bike ride was pleasant. Several houses were already decorated for Halloween. I am looking forward to seeing more decorations as the month progresses. 🎃

 “Tiny Blue Gill” Cedar Park, 2023

I went fishing at the local lake this morning. I decided to target bluegill, which are a high-probability fish, instead of bass, which I have never caught before. I caught a small one right away, but I wasn’t able to catch any larger ones. The fishing spot got crowded pretty quickly after a boy scout troop arrived, so I packed up my gear and went for a ride before heading home. It was still a fun little trip, and I’m glad I got to catch a bluegill. 🎣
