A day of half done.... half unpacked more boxes, half finished re-doing my rear bumper, half built bike rack for the sun-room. But a great ride in the morning with Clay, but you guessed it, at half speed ; )

Hurricane Irene.
A 360 degree view of the storm at the farm, what cows do (lay down and face away from the wind) and post hurricane sunset. I remember the sunsets from my days of covering hurricanes at the beach....

Happy mistakes (no not that) - Playing with the point and shoot and the background works out.

A big day. The earthquake and Sam's open house.
In the middle of my lab, the ground starting shaking, very cool to have experienced my first earthquake and that no one was hurt. That evening Sam got a look at her new school and teacher.

Going shopping. Looking into the shed of doom for parts for Clay's cyclocross bike.

Ready for another season. Clay came over after our long ride and helped me replace the crankset on my (Ken's) cyclocross bike. The old one had developed a creak (square tapered BB) after only 15 or so years of use. I bought it well used in 1996 and used it on my tri bike for many years before it was installed on the 'cross bike.

Sam and I search for a safe place to ride. We tried a road ride on Monday... too scary with cars and Sam on the road, so today we searched for dirt.

The drive south. We left a little later than planned (4:15pm) so it ended up being a drive through the night. I liked this guys do it myself-ness.
