graduation
Amy took a bullet for the company when she agreed to fill in at the junior high on Fridays. It meant getting up early and sitting in an unpleasant windowless environment where not everyone appreciated the service she was providing. The agreement was that she’d do the job for a year or two and then […]

oopsie
My original attempt to record a mountain bike ride a week and a half ago was more or less scrapped. It was dark and rainy and wet in the woods. All of which conspired against the camera. My ham handed manipulation of the controls meant I missed quite a bit of the ride as well. […]

breaking things
The suction cup and bike mount for the GoPro came on Tuesday, so I buffed up a section of the hood and drove to and from work with it last night. Smack dab center on the leading edge of the hood isn’t the most creative location, but I’m playing around with different locations and camera […]

ascutney hill climb
The recent purchase of T-WRX 2 has rekindled my interest in motorsports. I’ve been keeping myself up to date at the relevant local websites, as well as at least one Subaru specific site. The Vermont Sports Car Club pointed me at a hill climbing series that began this past weekend at Mt. Ascutney, which is […]

beamy’s beggies and herbs
After years of me announcing we should do a vegetable garden, and then not doing anything, we’ve finally made it happen. Amy managed to find this company called The Cook’s Garden and we ordered up one of their herb samplers and three tomato plants. The thing I like about these folks is you can order […]

1,000
T-WRX is officially broken in! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We covered a little over 300 miles this past weekend on a trip to the Boston area. I tried to vary my engine speed as much as possible on the voyage without going over the magical 4k. I was only too happy to oblige the 55mph zones and much […]

a little backed up
Yeah, so our toilet wasn’t working up to its potential yesterday. Naturally I was blamed and as I was plunging away I could hear the other drains in the house gurgling. No matter how hard I plunged, the toilet just would not drain quickly. Amy ran the washing machine and more gurgling. Then I put […]

hold it down 😉
I went to pray for the ATL over the weekend. It had been going on five years since my last visit, when I got deliriously sick on the second day and spent the rest of the week focusing on getting well enough to board a plane for home. Needless to say I had a lot […]

tune up
Even though there’s still 18″ of snow in the yard and our roads are a heaving mess I dragged the road bikes into the shop for a little tune before the season starts. Just a reminder that Amy and I are doing The Prouty again this year to raise money for cancer research and support. […]
