productive weekend

Originally, my son was supposed to come over this weekend, but I found out at the last minute he wasn’t going to be coming over, as he was gone all weekend on a scout trip.  We had planned to get a bunch of work done around the house, so now our schedules were clear to [...]

what a feaking week

I’m not going to be upset to see this week end.  I mean, it’s hard enough to get back to work after a two week vacation, but it to have it be one of ‘those’ week is just not cool.
I’ve had a project at work that has been under a deadline, but have been unable [...]

Time to Move Forward

Our main vehicle, the 2002 Jeep Liberty, rolled over to 200,000 this past week. It was kind of funny that it picked last Thursday to hit this mark.

September is over….FINALLY!

At some point early in the month, I was thinking about how glad I would be to see October, because that would mean that I survived the end of September.
The week leading up the Addison Oaks Race was a blur of last minute activity, but in the end, everything came off PERFECTLY.  The race was [...]

LONG day finally over

Today, today was a very long day.
We starting out leaving the house a ~6:30AM to head to Addison Oaks for the CPS XC race that the Metro North chapter was holding.  Thanks to a bit of luck, great timing company and land manager, and a LOT of help from a ton of great volunteers, the [...]

Fat Tire: Gift from the West

Our friends Krisi and Erik have been vacationing out west that past couple of weeks.  Bouncing around and riding their bikes.  They are back in town, and were at our regular Wednesday night Stony Creek group ride.
While riding, Kristi told Marty that they had a present from out west for us, and “It’s Fat”  (Marty’s [...]
