It had been a busy but quiet day in the office with no visitors to speak of. So, it was a pleasant surprise when Ron, one of the most friendly people in the office, dropped by for a chat.

The days are getting longer and more of my rides are taking place in the dark. Seemed like a perfect time to put my ground effect lights on the new bike. I had forgotten what a wonderful effect these lights have on my rides. Cars pass with a lot more space with these babies turned on.

It had been a long day for everyone at the office and it was starting to show.

Yes, I know it a lake scenery shot and I am trying to avoid these. However, it is a different lake from my last few and it was such a pretty sunrise that I just couldn’t resist.

So I’m slowly starting to realize that this is going to be a tougher project than I had first expected. I’m not giving up by any means, but I’m realizing that I don’t have much variety in my scenery on a daily basis. Most of my day is spent with the view above and I don’t want to revert to lake scenery pictures from my commute everyday. It really is going to be a fun challenge to look deeper at my every day surroundings and find more details to capture. [Read More]

It is taking more than a little effort to get over these wild beasts that now reside in my house. They appear out of nowhere and always seem to have definite but inscrutable plans.

After a long and frantic day at the office, like today was, there are some tough choices to make when one gets home.

We are doing a lot of fall cleaning around the house and I have discovered that I have amassed enough tools and bike parts to make a modest home bike shop. Plus I have two project bikes, a classic Schwinn that needs some basic tuning and my old Cannondale which needs a frame up rebuild. Both perfect winter projects. Now I just need to get the underutilized garage whipped into shape. [Read More]

I haven’t had dim sum in a long time so it was a wonderful way to kick off a productive Sunday.

After a long day of vet visits and litter box installations, the only thing left to do is to party . . .
