Little Junky
One day we’ll forget all about the little hypodermic habit hit three times a day. The cause, device, and cure will be long forgotten. – b
Odd Couple
I like the contrast of the two bikes next to each other. After all it’s not the individual characteristics that define you. It’s the juxtaposition of your opposing sides. – b
Must have been the Mustache
Rounding the top of the spillway from the dam side, I looked across to see a guy walking his bike up the climb on the other side. The climb over there is not a fun climb, but I’ve never seen anyone walk it. I rode down the Sole Trail, over the trees, up and around […]
Little Blue Flowers and Gold Finches
and other experiences of an enjoyable life… Gretchen recognizes the sound of filling a bike water bottle from the fridge. From the other end of the house, she came running as I started preparing for our ride. That’s a neat thing. It’s been a while since she’s got to do a ride. Most mornings this […]
Trailer’s Legit
Got the VIN plate, license plate and registration. All the frustration and paranoia paid off. – b
Two Weeks Ago
I had this post all worked out for the weekend of the 17th, but I never got around to posting it. Anyway, this what I can remember. Saturday morning I got the rest of the wood pellets and got them all stacked (3 tons+ total). Abigail was a big help in that. I really don’t […]
Progress
Got two inspections yesterday for the solar system (electrical & township). Both passed with flying colors. Now it’s PECO’s turn. The state cashed my check for my trailer application, which doesn’t necessarily mean everything’s good, but does mean someone’s working on it. Abigail’s sleeping habits have greatly improved. Though it’s difficult some times to listen […]
Cry It Out
Fukn Crap. I guess she’s learning to sleep, but at what cost? Sounds to me like she’s just learning to cry. She never cried this much before. Before we got to hang out for late evening walks around the park or we did the dishes together. Now it’s me doing the dishes alone while she […]
50, 45, 23, 17, and 8
We started sleep training last Wednesday. We instilled a much more rigid bedtime and bedtime routine at 7:30. The first night she cried for 50 minutes. The second night it was 45, and so on. Our biggest problem since the beginning has been getting her to go to sleep. This appears to be working. Staying […]
Another Downhill Weekend
Rick, Ben and I escaped to Seven Springs this weekend for some weekend dirtbag fun. On Saturday we hit the downhill park. They added some new stunts, Ben and I had to hit. Rick hit the drop and the “rainbow”, but didn’t do the gap jump. At first we didn’t think we’d do it either, […]
