Out and about on the Duc

A day in the life of the Bishop (two days into his 75th year).

Buddy Crosby flanked by Grrr and Z (Authenticity squared).

Today: LSDM speaker, A.J. King, Whitefish, MT, community banker. Cheese, onion, mushroom scramble at Wasatch Bagel. 3.5 mile walk with TWO3. Lunch Nordstrom Fashion Place with TIMDT. Pick up new rubber Duc (also new fork seals, new tail lights, and clutch repair) at Harrison Motorsports, Murray. Talked with Daggett by phone re upcoming LSDM speaker. Rode Duc to hair/beard cut, near Feldman's deli, by uber barber Dara. Ride Duc to B and N, Sugarhouse, to review book options over coffee...bot four books. Rode Duc to chez Kessler and Layton, in Foothill. Neither was there, but talked to the boys for twenty minutes. They showed me a twenty pound weight they had found at the bottom of a nearby creek and noted that they would be able to stay in touch with Bing via Nintendo game after his imminent move to Boise. Rode Duc on a very crowded I-80 back to Park City. Joined TIMDT, already in PJ's, relaxing on deck. Dinner, left over pot roast with TIMDT. Read one chapter current book, "Empire Express," by David Howard Bain (arguably best account of story of transcontinental railroad). One episode Netflix, season four, "Hell on Wheels." Bed.
