The New Year

We are over a week into the New Year now and things are moving along.  We had a good time with our biking friends on New Years Eve.  Everyone that was invited showed up and we had a great time with great food and our friends.  The evening went by quick.

We are back to work and this is our first full week of work.  It seems that it is going slow, but we are half way through the week already.  I started working out again and am trying to stay on a regular schedule with it.  I have rode the trainer three times since New Years day and plan on riding this evening.  Really itching to get outdoors on the bike.  Maybe Saturday, weather is predicting 54 degrees!

We upgraded our satellite TV to the Dish Hopper on Sunday and really like it.  We will be adding internet on Friday.  No more slow wireless Verizon hot spot!  In Verizon's defense it works great in the city.  Where we are at is on the edge of 4G coverage and it only works well early in the morning or late at night.

Next on my agenda is the MMBA Annual Expo on January 27.  We will be getting two tables again this year.  Weather and time permitting I would like to due the Lake Orion High School Winter Race on February 2.  It has been several years since I did this and would like to get back.

I guess that brings us up to date.  Have a great week.

Easter

Easter has come and gone.  It was a very busy couple of days.  We started out with Brendan getting very sick Wednesday night.  Luckily he was feeling better on Friday and we were able to enjoy the holiday.. Mom and Dad came out on Saturday.  We met them at Backwood's and had a late lunch.  We then came back to our house to color eggs and visit.     Mom's Work   Mom also brought this with her. This was my grandmother's Lutheran Hymnal.  It was given to her on her confirmation.  It is over 100 years old and in German.  Mom also has her bible.  She is giving this to Amelith Lutheran Church.   We all had a really good time and it was a full day.    On Sunday we went to church and then to Michelle's mom and dad's for a late lunch and the annual easter egg hunt.     The kids had fun as always.   We had a really good meal then Michelle and I took a 2+ mile walk...

Summer Vacation: Day 6

We had a light breakfast and Michelle and I had to do a quick shopping trip.  We returned and had baked ravioli, salad and garlic toast.  A very good meal to hold us on our road trip.   Our stop was the Fayette Historic Townsite. This was a mining town that was abandoned.  The State of Michigan bought the site and turned it into a State Park.  Some of the buildings have been restored and others have not.  Some work has been done to some so they can remain standing. The Smelting building. Slag is a waste product of the smelting process. Michelle has been finding a lot of slag on our trip.  It is called many things and is in demand by rock hunters and jewelry makers. We returned to the house and had sandwiches before departing for Escanaba.  We found a spot to fish, I spotted small beach for Michelle to look for rocks.  We caught a couple fish, nothing to really talk about.  Michelle and Kayla found a l...

Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather.  We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing.  I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride. I set off east to ride toward Rapid River.  I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures. Dunes on the edge of Gladstone. This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision. The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name.  I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us.  Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up.  I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock. I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this. This is a Gobi.  An invasive species of the Great Lakes. After a few minutes I started back to the house.  On the way I started to have some chest pain.  After showering it had not let up. ...
