2400 Bike Mile Goal Reached Today

I will get a few more miles in before 2010, but the goal of averaging 200 miles a month is done today. Now I can see if 50 miles a week is reachable.

The Perfect Day

30+ bike miles today. Bright October day in high 60's with a tail wind the entire ride. What could be sweeter?

The New Kittens

Their adoption names were Ying and Yang. Their true names appear to be Tigger and Zen. Tigger is the 'baby', though he is the largest at 3 pounds. He is very noisy when separated from us. He is hyper in the manner of his namesake. Yang is much quieter and resembles his mother who is an angora. He will try to sit in my lap even when I am doing my morning yoga. Tigger looks very much like the African wildcat from whom all cats are descended.

195 Bike Miles To Go

To get to 2400 miles for the year. Given how cold it is now, I better finish by middle of November.

Thought For Today

Worries fall away,
Reconnecting with the land,
Inkling of the Tao?

I Never Knew...

Chickory flowers were so beautiful. I never looked before today.

The Sound of Silence

The silence comes after this 3/8 inch shear bolt is torn apart. Interestingly you can hear it above all the machinery clatter and huge muffling hearing protectors. After that sound everything is turned off to begin the repair. Happened twice today.

I'm Being Pulled Back to B&W

This was a color slide taken 5 years ago. I never liked the color in it and never did anything with it. Now that B&W is calling my name again, I converted it to B&W and cropped it and I kinda like it now. What do you think?
