Spring Update

This bike was displayed at Interbike.

JJ and I went to the Endurance Sports Expo at the end of February.  Alexander rode with us and we met Raymond at the Expo.  It felt like the old Expo's at Springfield Oaks.  They had a full house of vendors and it was really busy for the first three hours of the show.  We had a good time!

Did not sell a whole lot.  I ended up with about $50 after paying for my tables, gas and a couple of meals.  Raymond did not do well either.  He had some really nice stuff to sell.

The brewery was nice and they had some good beer and pizza.

Michelle and I spent our wedding anniversary in Houghton Lake.  We found a good deal on a hotel and spent the weekend there.  I had not been to Houghton Lake in around 25 years.   A lot has changed up there.  We did have a lot of fun!  It was a very nice celebration.

We had a great view of the lake (it was frozen).

 We went and seen a movie at the Pines Theatre.  The theatre was really cool.  It was very old architecture and all still original.  If you are in this area I would recommend stopping in for a movie there.

Last Thursday was a year ago that dad passed away.  It was also the last time I stopped into my old house.  On Friday we closed!  Now we can focus on our house. 

I will also be purchasing another bike now.  That will have to wait till the next post.

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
