I can find no grammatical errors in your most recent post.

Anyway, hope the grass grows green and thick.

Today's tournament is over for me... I finished in the 7-10 group (double elimination so its not just 1, 2 Top 4, Top 8.

Lost my first match, averaging 80 (for reference, if I shoot 80 at just about any regional tournament for the day, I probably win it). I never even got a chance to win a game. The other guy shot a 90 average!!!

Then, in the losers bracket I won 5 straight matches 2-0 before losing 2-1. Oh well.

There were 70 people today from all over the country and a few from overseas. I'm guessing the next one will be triple that size.

No I catchup and do nothing but post on S2KI. Cindy is busy with her scrapbooking friends on Zoom.

A woodsman does not worry about grammar.

I got in a 31 mile long ride on my ElliptiGO this afternoon. I'm tired but relaxed.

And a home bound pedantic has nothing better to do than worry about grammar.

My first person was a heavy set man using a walker. I picked him up at his apartment and took him to the bank drive-up, the post office drive-up outside drop boxes and then dropped him off at Walmart. I picked up my second ride, a man at an outpatient hospital door. He's been getting antibiotic IV drips for an infected foot. I was supposed to take him home but he really needed to get groceries so I ended up dropping him off at a grocery store. My third ride was a lady I have picked up many times who is on dialysis. I picked her up after her treatment and took her home. I went back to the second man at the grocery store and took him and his groceries back to his house. He's a glass blower by trade and is looking forward to getting back to that with his foot healed and COVID-19 under control so he can teach his students once again. I went back to Walmart and picked up the first man and took him home with his Walmart haul and fast food. So it was either for food or medical reasons or both. Normally, most of my rides are for ladies hair appointments, social visits at senior centers or group card games. Since all that is closed down the only thing I do now is the few necessary medical appointments or shopping for food. I usually have eight people to give rides to and I only had three on Friday. All three of my riders were people I've given rides to before. The glassblower is a sweet and interesting man. The woman on dialysis is quite old and very religious. She is ready for the Lord to take her but keeps going although she can't see well, can't walk without her walker and has dialysis 3 days a week. She said she was married to the best man in the world and will wait to see him again. She's very sharp and has lived in Loveland since 1952. She is a wealth of information.

Patricia, do you (did you) have to make an adjustment riding at the higher elevations in CO? I only understand cars, specifically MGs. As they go into the higher elevations they get less air and require a carburetor adjustment leaning the fuel mixture, otherwise it would be running too rich. Really high elevations cut the power in half in old cars.

Dave, I bought my 2017 Pilot here in Colorado. It doesn't have a carburator. I do notice the lack of power on my S2000 at elevation here although it doesn't have a carb either. You've got to really wring its neck to make it go in the mountains here.
