This is Irony

Two years ago I tried selling one of my Gary Fisher Rig frames (I had two). I couldn’t pay someone to take it. Nobody wanted a used Rig frame. They were notorious for breaking and considering the whole bike cost $1000 what’s the frame worth anyway? Finally I sold one for $150 to my desperate […]

Meat Slave

Jen’s doling out little pieces of spare ribs she cooked (all afternoon) and I’m taking them like a dog begging for a bone. – b

Vacation Logistics Cont.

Started looking into renting a U-Haul trailer for our vacation. Of course they have all kinds (open, boxed, sport, etc.) which makes the decision more difficult than it should be. The prices were averaging out to about $200 for the week. Hmmm. $200 I’ll never see again… See. I’m real cheap and real practical. I […]

Tap Room

Loaded up the kiddies and headed to Chesapeake City on Sunday for some crabs. We really weren’t sure how it was going to go down with the little girls. Eating crabs is something that can take an awful lot of time – a lot of time sitting there doing nothing if you’re a little kid. […]

Broken

DeCarlo tried to ride with a broken handlebar. I convinced him otherwise. I had an old aluminum riser we put on and sent him on his way. He may not have gotten in the entire ride, but he did get to ride. – b

Apparently Jen gets lots of comments about the abundance of Abigail’s hair. Being a girl most people then expect we put bows and stuff in it. Ooops! We’re such bad parents. – b

Hitched

We’ve got this little vacation thing coming up in a few weeks. Originally we expected three adults, one child and ONE dog, but CJ appears to think otherwise. Not to mention Abigail will probably need a lot more stuff than we also originally thought. As you may remember, we did buy a LARGE roof-top carrier […]

Needs More Work

Got a battery, charged it, put gas in the tank and turned the key. The Honda started, but it leaked gas all over itself. Which tells me, the float valves are probably stuck (same thing that happened to my generator a few years back). I’ll probably try and un-stuck them (luckily there’s only 2 carbs) […]

Dinner Time

Abigail’s been concentrating real hard on what we do at dinner. We thought it was the food she wanted, but given the opportunity it was only the plate she desitred. Then again, maybe it was the food she wanted? So let’s try an ear of corn. You can’t choke on that. Whoops! My bad. Maybe […]
