Last Saturday in March Expedition

Scott patiently waits along the Duwamish Trail

After not posting at all in March, I vowed to be better in April since I  like to have some sort of remember-some that I can refer to in the future. To that end, I record here that Scott and I went for a "fun and fitness" ride on Saturday, covering just under 20 miles and giving the lie to "fitness" by stopping for cake, as well as brunch. Let me just note here that the veggie biscuits and gravy at Uncle Eddie's are phenomenally good. Note also that the serving sizes are enormous: we split the order.  

The cake (carrot and pineapple) at Deep Sea Sugar & Salt was also pretty darned fine--and despite having had breakfast just a few miles earlier, we made short work of it, as the second photo below suggests: 

The signage is "Cake Shop," but the receipt is "Deep Sea Sugar & Salt"

But why exactly was Scott having to wait about for me early on in the ride? Why, that would be the first goslings of the year--or at least the first either of us had seen. These were already into their pre-teen stage--and there were only four left--so clearly they'd hatched a while back. Sweet little things with their somewhat protective parents, though.

Scott admitted that his arm, shoulder, wrist, and/or hand were a little sore by the time we'd reached Uncle Eddie's, but they weren't all that bad the next day so we're calling the outing a success.
