The Weekend and the Week(s) Ahead

As always we had a busy weekend. Michelle took Friday off and started on the updating of Brendan's bedroom.  She started to paint the room and I put in his new light after I got.  I also started on laundry.  Saturday morning came early and Michelle and Brendan headed for Clio for the Clio cleanup.  The church participates every year and the kids from the church that help out get $10 in quarters at church camp for the arcade.  They get pizza after working for lunch also.  Brendan then went to Kids Storm at the Bible Baptist Church with grandma.

I stayed home and waited for Sears to show up and work on the wood chipper.  They got here close to 12:00pm.  We thought we blew the engine on it.  The repairman worked on it and it is running again.  Good thing we got the extended warranty!  This is going to help us get the yard cleaned up.  Speaking of the I worked in the yard and then we headed to Clio.

We went to the Black Horse Tavern for a benefit dinner for the Clio Rotary Club.  Michelle participated in the silent auction and did very good!  We got home and mom came and got Brendan to stay the night at her house.  MacKenzie also stayed there.  They were going to church with them and then to the final day of Kids Storm.  Michelle and I got to bed early.
 
We seen this guy by Dairy Queen.
 

We had a nice breakfast Sunday morning and then went to church.  We went to Dairy Queen after church and used a coupon that Michelle won in the silent auction the night before. 

We then went to Menards and bought some perennials and strawberry plants.  After getting home Michelle worked for a while in Brendan's room and I worked outside again.  I got more of the yard cleaned up and some more old wood burned.  We want to get all the brush from my old house cleaned up so we can set up the pool this year.  Michelle came out and we got the plants in the ground.

I need to pull the deck off the lawn tractor, pull and replace the blades.  Hoping to cut the lawn for the first time on Friday.  Want things to look good for Mothers Day.

While at work on Friday Michelle texted me to ask if I ordered something from China?  I had and it came really early.
This was waiting for me when I got home.
 
This is a carbon fat bike fork that will go on the Farley.  The geometry is the same as the Salsa Makawa and should be a perfect light weight fork for the bike.  Hopefully I can get it installed this week and the tires changed out for training.
 
JJ and I will be starting our Ore to Shore training this week also.
 
Next post will either be on the Farley upgrade or Mothers Day. Stay tuned.

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...
