>Isaac and I rode up to Windmill Quarry last week. We took the Friendship Trail. Here’s a 12 second video of him taking his last jump of the season. http://www.youtube.com/get_player

My New S.U.B (and how I built a stylish custom top deck for under twenty bucks)
Well, I finally did it. After months of hemming and hawing (as to whether I should purchase another bike…this makes six), I finally did it. I ordered my Mundo Yuba. And I gotta say that it’s pretty exciting. It was a little intimidating putting it together. I’m a pretty handy guy, but I’ve never putContinue reading “My New S.U.B (and how I built a stylish custom top deck for under twenty bucks)”

Tomato Time
Tomatoes are my favorite garden vegetable to grow. They’re my favorite for a couple of reasons: firstly because I enjoy eating them raw or in almost any preparation, and secondly, after the initial planting they are almost worry free…give them sun and water and you’re guaranteed a good crop by August. At any rate, IContinue reading “Tomato Time”

Frontyard Corn
S0 it’s been three months since I’ve updated this blog. It seems that on the one hand I’ve had such a busy summer that I haven’t been able to get anything done (the checklist on my refrigerator that I wrote in the spring for a summer “to do List” does not have one single thingContinue reading “Frontyard Corn”

Before and After
Between the early burst of hot and steamy weather, followed by two weeks of on again-and-off again torrential downpours, the garden is flourishing. Here are a few before and after photos. The first set were taken in early May, the second set just this week. Here’s the garden in the front yard. I’m trying somethingContinue reading “Before and After”

Six Year Chart
Six years ago gas was a buck-and-a-half a gallon…and we thought that was pricey…better get that old bike out of the basement/garage…it’ll be more fun than you can imagine.

An Open Letter To Gordon Ramsay
I tried, chef, I really did, and on numerous occasions. But I just can not sit through an entire episode of Hell’s Kitchen. Invariably, after or during one of your obscene and belittling rants, I tell you to shut the f#@k up, consciously using one of your favorite expletives. Why do you do it, IContinue reading “An Open Letter To Gordon Ramsay”

Chives: A Sign of Renewal
It’s an exciting time: I recently planted most of my garden, and despite the cold spring this year some of the herbs from last year are flourishing nicely. Besides the usual suspects (tomatoes, peppers, zucchini) I try to mix it up a little bit each year. Thus, I was so excited when I came acrossContinue reading “Chives: A Sign of Renewal”

Kibbee and Rice
Kibbee is a traditional Lebanese dish that can be eaten baked, fried, or (yikes!) raw. It’s a mixture of lamb (sometimes I use beef), bulgar wheat and spices. When I was a kid I would gobble this stuff down raw…not any more…too risky today with food born illness. Anyhow, I did my own variation byContinue reading “Kibbee and Rice”

New Chinese Trike
I found this used Chinese trike on craigslist about a week ago and bought it on the spot. It’s more of a novelty than anything, but it’s a real workhorse. It’s geared low and the maximum speed is probably like 5mph, but that’s not a bad thing because the brake system sucks, to put itContinue reading “New Chinese Trike”
