Too Tired
Did all kinds of things today. Need to go to bed. Hopefully post tomorrow, but who knows anymore? – b
Todays Triumph
I successfully drilled out the rivet on the foot-peg of my kayak and got it working again. I replaced the rivet with a stainless steel bolt and lock-nut. Good thing too. The East Branch of the Brandywine is currently in flood stage and on its way higher. Could be some nice paddling tomorrow as it […]
More ‘Vintage’ Gear
So we picked up a Burley tandem last week that’s at least from the early 90’s, maybe even 80’s This week I topped it. Fired up with all my recent creek adventures, I started trolling Craig’s List for a good deal on a kayak. My requirements were easy, maybe even impulsive – cheap and not […]
Switching it Up
After a few days of rain and watching the creek gauges, I decided to convince a few an evening paddle was in store instead of the usual Wednesday night ride. Not everybody is racing this year and I’m completely out of shape, so why not do something different and just as fun? After work we […]
Beat, Dead, Tired
If Abigail were an amp., she’d go to 11. I’d heard it before, but now know it’s true. Everything you used to do without a kid is now twice as hard with a kid. It’s like I ran an extra marathon (if I ever ran a marathon) or something. Saturday started with work on the […]
Evolution in Action
Saw the neighbors cat catch a Robin. For a bird that’s supposed to be able to hear, smell, or generally sense worms in the dirt, I’m a little surprised it didn’t sense the 15lb cat sneaking up on it. C’est la vie – b
New Spring Toys
Abigail got shipment of new toys yesterday Just in time for Spring. See more here. – b
Two Tons Done
Now for more of the boring and mundane. We burned something close to a ton of wood pellets by mid January. I think that’s on par with the past, but things were a little different this year. This year we had someone (either Jen or her mother and definitely Abigail) here all day, so the […]
The Conundrums
Ticks are bad. Dogs need tick medicine to keep the ticks away. The medicine we have is really strong stuff. It’s so strong there’s a warning label that it can kill cats. Hmmm. What’s that do to Abigail? Not like I’m going to put any on her, but what kind of exposure is she getting? […]
Bling
Childhood development is marked by stages and milestones. We hit a new one. I call it the adornment stage. All day long she puts the necklaces on and takes them off. Hopefully not a sign of Mardi-Gras reveleries to come. Though it begs the question. Where did all these bead necklaces come from? – b
