Christmas 2004 we had at our house. My parents, sister and her fiance came up and stayed with us for
the holidays.


Though Chanukah started December 8th, the picture for the week of Dec. 12, 2004 is Jen opening the first
of her Chanukah gifts.


December 5th, 2004 we decided the best way to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeders was to
get them their own feeders.


November 26, 2004 The first fire of the season.


November 21, 2004 Jen in a cooking mood decided to make home-made bread, leg of lamb, potatoes and
salad.  There were cranberries drying in the other room too. The purple potatoes were actually purple on
the inside.



November 6, 2004 (one year anniversery for this website), we spend the day doing fall chores - raking
leaves and splitting wood.


The week of October 22, 2004 we get some pumpkins to decorate our front porch for Halloween. 
However some little varmint thinks this is his very own pumpkin buffet. The first shot was taken
8am Friday morning. The second shot was taken 6:30pm Friday night.  The third picture was
Sunday afternoon after returning from our camping trip that weekend.


September 4th, 2004 Jen's high school friend Alex Mabilon married his longtime girlfriend Fumiko Takagi 
in Givry, France.


August 12th, 04 was the Dodge ball championships at Jen's gym. Her team was able to finish second
after spending most of the summer in last place.



August 5th, 2004 Jeff turned 30. Now that he's older and his body can't regulate it's temperature so
well anymore, we got him a nice warm down coat for the winter


May 19th I got my new Surly. For my birthday in March Jen got me a new fork, disk brake and front
wheel. I loved the disk brake so much I had to get me one in the rear which required a new frame. The
night I got the bike, I cracked two ribs on the ride - wasn't the bikes fault.


From the 17th of April to the 24th I was on my way and in Utah. The majority of the week I was in
Canyonlands National Park, but Sunday the 18th I was in Moab, UT mt. biking on the Porcupine Rim trail.



April 10th was the first Mid-Atlantic Super Series Race at Camp Mack. I got 5th on my single speed.


Yeah so I turned 30 the week of March 28th.


My dad has finally started to make some real progress on his street rod.  I've set a goal for him to have
it ready for the
Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, KY the first weekend in August. Weekly picture for
March 22.


For the week of March 7th, I put up a picture of my road bike. With the weather getting nicer, I've been
riding it a lot more.


We got a little snow Tuesday February 24th. I thought this leaf in the driveway would make a cool shot.


Went for a ride Sunday February the 15th.  It was muddy and icey, so all kinds of stuff stuck to the bike.
This picture was taken after an hour drive home - speeds reaching 70mph.


Jen had to go into work and rewire her
patch panel . All her computers and servers run through this
mess. Feb. 7, 2004.


Mike and I went to the Adirondacks Jan 23, 24. This is Algonquin Peak.


The weather turned nasty the weekend of Jan 17, 18, so Jen pulled out the food dehydrator.
Saturday we had some excellent beef jerky.  Here it's dehydrating apples and kiwi slices. 
Makes the house smell real nice.


The temperature when we got to Bill's cabin the weekend - Jan 10 in Pine Creek, PA.  This was the
outside temperature when we got there Friday night.  The inside was a balmy 22, though we hit 85 by
Saturday night with both the coal stove and wood stove going.


To start the year off right I went for a ride with the Downingtown Mt. bike group at Fair Hill. The ride was
almost 5 hours and we went 23.5 miles. This is one of the bridges I built for my Eagle Scout project 12
years ago.
