Modn’ My Ride
Made an appointment to get a backup camera installed in the new Subaru. The view out the back is tricky, and well, we’ve got little girls running around the driveway all the time. Some models come with the camera. Mine did not. Reading the online discussion forums I found where some people have managed to […]
Gotta Bite
I may have someone seriously interested in the old Subaru – a family with 4 girls. The eldest is about to drive. The second eldest soon afterward. She was pretty excited. Her Dad was very nice. He drives a diesel Rabbit with 200k miles on it, so he’s familiar with “vintage” cars. We’ll see. It […]
High Exposure
Climbed at the Gunks yesterday with Scott. We made a pre-dawn assault on High E. It was a pretty good trip. Hopefully I’ll have more pictures and commentary later. – b
Me, Mr. Mom
These weeks and weekends fly by so fast, it’s hard to look back and remember what the hell was going on. I’ll look back at the calendar, see empty weekends, yet know they were probably non-stop with something. Though this weekend is properly documented (office move, birthday, me climbing), there’s still more than meets the […]
Was Sorry for the Second, Now Sorry for the First
The first couple of years after Lauren was born I felt bad for her because the second child never really gets the same kind of one-on-one attention the first got. The first one gets all eyes all the time. When the second comes around, your eyes are going every which way and they don’t get […]
Lu Booboo
Tried changing Lu Bear’s nickname to Lu Booboo, because she’s covered in them. So far hasn’t stuck, which is good. It’s the bear in Lu that pushes her to try things anyway (e.g. ride the tricycle down the coaster ramp). If you’re not crashing, you’re not trying. – b
How about some Pictures
Grandparents love pictures. Lauren helping me clean up the camping gear. – b
Timber!
Finally cleaned up the rest of Grandma’s backyard since the ice storm last February damaged so many trees. Apparently August is the month for the cheapest tree work rates. The quote they gave me back in March for fewer trees/less work wasn’t anywhere near as palatable as the quote we got in August. It’s so […]
The Cat
Our 17 year old cat Basil is showing her age. Not in her looks, not in her levels of activity, but in her litter box. Recently she’s started drinking water (and urinating) at an alarming rate. We did blood tests and the other easy/inexpensive things to see what’s wrong, and it all came back negative. […]
