May Update

Hard to believe that this month is almost over.  It had been pretty wet and cold up until this weekend. Things are slowly starting to dry out and the weather is starting to be normal for this time of year.  We have two weeks to finish things up for JJ's graduation party.  Invitations have been sent, there is not turning back now.

We have painted the dining room, living room and kitchen.  Would still like to get the master bathroom done also.  Tomorrow I will start working more on the yard and garage.

We attended Honors Night last week.  JJ was Magna Cume Laude.  Very proud of him.  He finished his last day of school yesterday.

Magna Cume Laude!

Next week is his final Choir Concert and Commencement.  Last week the Choir went to State Festival.  They had the highest score by a choir ever.  Their instructor has been selected to do the State Honors Choir.  They are really awesome.

We celebrated Mother's Day as always.  We brought my mom out for the day on Saturday.  Then I put together the Mother's Day celebration for Michelle's family on Sunday.  We ordered Panda House so no one had to cook.  It was a good time.  Dawn and Reuben also move all there storage stuff out from our room above the garage.  That room is another project we would like to complete before the party.

I have not been on the bike in over a month now.  The break is good for the body to heal after all the health issues from this winter.  I will get back at it after the party.  Not sure if I will even do a race this year.  I do have a project started for the carbon 29er.  I purchased a set of 27.5 wheels with plus tires and will set that up next month.  Hopefully by the end of June I can get out for a trail ride.

 I give them a B+


Michelle came across a great deal on a new camera.  It is a used Nikon D51000.  It is in excellent shape and the price was right.  So the old Sony is on eBay now and looks like it will sell.  Plan on buying a lens for Sports Photography before the summer is up.  Hopefully I can go to a bike race and test it out.  

I think that brings things up to date.  See you in June!

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...
