Boring stuffs. I got out for my weekly ride to the store. This week I was watching some drips form under the kitchen sink. After I got back from the short loop grocery store ride I did some exploratory surgery by taking apart the p-trap and finding out what I needed to replace. Then I [...]

This weekend I was free, but I couldn’t tell all week what the weather was going to do. I really didn’t care to take a trip if it was going to be wet AT ALL because I have a bunch of stuff out in the basement and I wasn’t down for hanging my gear out [...]

Warning – This post is a rambler: This past weekend was free from social engagements. I thought about getting out and riding a little, but Saturday was nasty, so no dice. The wife and I went about cleaning up around the place and having one of our first ‘cooking weekends’ of the cool season. Part [...]

Had to sacrifice a nice weekend to the home improvement gods this week. I bought some concrete repair stuff back in July to patch some cracks behind the house and I didn’t get around to it until now. Takes long enough to dry that I needed some weather to agree. Wasn’t a total loss though. [...]

One of my side projects I was working on over the past few weeks was refurbishing some chairs I have on the front porch. I’ve been wanting to do this for some time, and finally got underway when I repainted the railing out front last week since I had to dirty a brush with the [...]

I was just getting to the point when I was really bored with my workout schedule. I’ve been riding into work sporadically. About 50/50 for the first 2 months of the year. Early March I stepped it up to 3 or 4 days a week. This week I was sick Monday, so my riding has [...]

I was busy with minor projects around the house over the last 2 weeks. I finally got everything working well with the I-roast. One last adjustment to my vent with some long ‘frankenstein-neck-bolts’ to attach the vent tube to the hood attachment and give me something to grab so I don’t burn my hands holding [...]

Well we survived turkey birthday week with little damage! Lots of stuff happened, and I’m still digesting it all, no pun intended. We looked at the last house we were interested in with our contractor friends before the holidays, and while it was fundamentally stable, there were a lot of little things that would need [...]

I’m getting a little impatient with myself about how quick I can get stuff written and posted, so I’m going to start throwing pages that are half finished, and fix my typos and run-on sentences on the fly. Much the same way I quick-painted the front door and the back railing on my house instead [...]

It would always seem that when I get a new toy to play with (in this case the bike), The next weekend already has some large plans for it. Even though it was gorgeous out side I didn’t get out for a long ride this weekend. We had planned for 2 months now to have [...]
