Happy Labor Day!

So we had another busy week leading up to Labor Day Weekend.  On Wednesday we had Brendan's open house for 4th Grade.  We did some shopping after and I sold my Giant OCR.

Giant OCR Composite 3

I bought this bike in 2005.  I put some good miles on it over the years.  For about 6 years it had been in the basement on the trainer.  I had rebuilt it this summer and took it out a couple of times.  It just seemed to big now.  I guess I am a little older and less flexible.  I decided to put it up for sale as it just did not fit any longer.  I found a nice young man that was looking for a road bike and he really liked it.  It is going to a good home and will be out on the road where it belongs.

The funds from this sale went toward the purchase of a front wheel to go on the Farley and will fit the Bluto.  That wheel should be in some time this week.

On Saturday morning we did not have Brendan.  He stayed at mom's with his cousin.  Michelle and I went out for a nice ride on the bikes.  We did around 8 miles.  It was a nice ride.  I got the lawn cut which took 3 hours to bag and everything.  It was really tall.  Michelle went to Saginaw and did some shopping.

Sunday was the usual.  We went to church and then Jay Jay made us flat bread pizzas when we got home.  Jay Jay and I went out and did 16.75 miles.  It was really hot.  Michelle and the kids went and did some more school shopping.  I did some weed whacking and burned some more of the wood laying around the yard.  

Monday was looking to be nice and hot day.  Raymond came out in the morning and we did a 19 mile ride.  It was really hot again.  Michelle and I decided to stay in the house and work.  We had some rain come through late in the afternoon.  After supper I went out and put down the fall/winter fertilizer.

Tomorrow the boys go back to school.  I will hopefully be putting the Bluto on the Farley this week.  Mom needs some grass planted at her house.  Going to be busy again.

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...
