Same old, same old

Its been a whole lot of nothing going on here. I made the executive decision about 3 weeks ago to trade in both my little hatchback and the burrowers little sedan, to get......a small SUV for her.

She has always wanted one, and well, I think I got a good deal on it. So what is good for her is good for me. Except that left me without a vehicle. Now, normally that isn't so bad as I can ride my bike to work, and we have locker rooms there to shower and change in. Yeah for tax breaks to build those facilities. On the other hand I haven't had a chance to get to the trails to ride as most are a little too out of the way to ride a mountain bike to. My trail time was limited.

On the other hand I got some of my car insurance premium back, as well as lost a couple pounds with the 3 weeks of commuting to and from work. Only got caught in the rain one time. All that changed yesterday when I finally was able to pick up a vehicle for cheap. Requirment....that it runs and I can put my bike on it. I will be hitting up the trails more reguarly now, again.

But looking back over the past few weeks there were some other minor note worth events that happened. Went down to the original dirty south, ATL to see the rents. Even got to stop and go to the Sweetwater Brewery. Not much of a "tour", but one heck of a social gathering.

Me and the Burrower.


Dad having a brew.


Me and the designated driver...I mean my mom.


I actually don't know these people, but they wanted their picture taken (he did anyway)

Me and the burrower also went to the Georgia Aquarium. We watched dolphins, and made funny faces at the fish.



And finally, most importantly. I got my limited edition St. Ambrose University Bicycling jersey. I ordered this back in February, and finally it came. Lets just say it looks sexy on me.


And most importantly the fighting bee.


The weather finally didn't completely suck today, so hopefully trails tomorrow. I have a vehicle, the bike is ready to go, should be fun. Until then.
