I’ve had my first checkup. It went pretty well and was quite shocking at the same time. The “how I got here” post is here. In short, a broken humerus in my left arm. The tech’s removed the splint which was producing a significant odor!! It was blood and goo soaked and it felt wonderful to… [Read More]
Big Spill 2014 – Broken Arm
What a bummer! Shortly after posting my 1000 mile ride carbon bike update, it happened, The Big Spill of 2014. It was a leisurely Saturday ride on my road bike. I was about twenty miles in and decided to take a route I had never before taken. The route took me thru a high school… [Read More]
Don’t Go Near That Road
I’m sitting out in a wonderful campground this week. Most of the time, it is very quiet and peaceful. Sometimes it is not. I was sitting outside in a nice comfortable chair attempting to read a really great book and I overheard a fascinating “exchange” from the campers nearest to me. These campers are approximately… [Read More]
Fat Clothes
I recently read a pretty good book titled “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin. I enjoyed this book and picked up a bunch of really good ideas from it. One of those ideas is the value of decluttering our lives and the freeing effect that has on us. So, this past weekend I was staring… [Read More]
Book: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
A friend recently recommended the book “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years” by Donald Miller. I grabbed a copy from Amazon and started reading. And reading… And reading… I could not put the book down! Donald Miller’s writing style is fantastic and the points that he was making were SO on target. I LOVE… [Read More]
Start NOW
I’ve been on the road all week and am going home today. That is a good feeling. I’ve began noticing how “long” a period of time appears to be when looking at it from the start but how short it appears when looking back from the end. I know, nothing new there. Probably just a… [Read More]
End of the World
I am stoked!! Today is the end of the world!! I know where I’m going and I am ready – let’s get this show on the road! Hopefully this will be my last post. If not, then things didn’t work out with the whole Mayan calendar and end of the world thing.
Not Pumping
Remember all that cash I invested in my septic system earlier this year? If not, it is chronicled here. In short, my lift station had collapsed and a whole new lift station was needed along with the lift pump, wiring, risers, pump out, etc… Interestingly enough, the system started backing up again the other day. … [Read More]
Thankful
I heard a fabulous sermon this pas Sunday! Ironically, it was about being thankful. I think I am a pretty thankful person. I certainly do not believe that I deserve the many, many blessings that I have and I think I thank God for these things pretty regularly. However; I am not a very vocal… [Read More]
Veterans Day
A very, very big THANK YOU to all Veterans on this day! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your service, sacrifice, and dedication to the greatest country that has ever existed on the planet Earth – these United States of America. I know it seems that many do not appreciate what you have… [Read More]
