Beer, Sushi, and a Movie
The normal Wednesday night activities were disrupted by flooding rains, so new activities were planned and executed – meet at the movies and see Django. Kiss the kids good night. Stop at the store. Pick up a pint of Wallop, pack of sushi and head to the show. Movie wasn’t bad. Entertainment was nice (consuming […]
The Demise of the Bouncer
And we were worried that Abigail would hurt herself jumping over the top of the bouncer from the couch. I applied the patch kit, but as holes go on seams I have little hope that it’s a permanent fix.
Really Cold
So we get the wetsuit, which seems to help a bit. Then today the heat was out in the facility. Not for the water. It was still 85° F, but the air was freezing. Made the water feel warm. – b
Gross Motor Skills
Abigail has learned to jump from the couch to the top of the bouncer and drop herself in. She says Grandma lets her do it. I doubt that, but her form and ability says otherwise. I have a feeling a broken arm is on its way. – b
That Spoiled Milk Smell
Leaving the orchards with our next batch of milk, the rear of my car broke loose through the slush between the parking lot and the road. When it got traction again, the sideways momentum of the car suddenly stopped as the milk crates kept going. Crash! The awful sound of broken glass. I didn’t even […]
What To Wear
It’s 18° F outside with a NW wind blowing 6 mph, which puts the windchill at 10° F. Time for a lunchtime road ride. What to wear? 1 pair rag wool socks 1 pair of thermal knee warmers – spandex with a thin layer of fleece against your skin. The knee warmers cover from just […]
Much Better
Ran the whole house dehumidifier full blast for nearly 24 hrs now. Windows have minimal moisture and the house humidity is floating in the mid to upper 30’s. Not bad. – b
Puddles and Ice
Our upstairs window sills were full of puddles and ice this morning. The humidity upstairs was around 41%. The temperature outside was 9° F, so like a cold Coke can in the summer heat our windows condensate and in some places that freezes a little. It’s a real pain in the ass. Our windows are […]
4 Degrees
Yes. One of my favorite Tool songs, but more importantly that was the “real feel” temperature today as I set out for a lunch time road ride. The temperature was 19° F and the wind was blowing at 25 mph. That puts the windchill down to a nice 4° F. It wasn’t too bad. The […]
Quick Update
Only a day out and it’s quickly fading. Saturday I “treated” another rope Before we celebrated Jen’s birthday. Then Sunday we tried out the wetsuit, which worked nicely. And expanded the climbing wall Which also worked nicely. – b
