No more cold hands...

Well, winter is almost here and I want to ride the bike north whenever possible
still. I decided to buy a set of gerbing heated gloves. These are powered off of
the bike and after a test today, it looks like the bike can run 55W without an
issue, but 110W is too much. these gloves are 27W, so I should be fine. I'll
know in a week or so when they get here. :)

New chain and stuff

Well yesterday I installed the new chain on the bike. I'd say it had a fee
thousand miles left on it but it is just as good that I replaced it when I did I
won't have to worry about losing a chain in the middle of the winter. It's hard
to believe that I put 17k miles on the bike already. At least I'm getting my
money's worth...

This week has been busy

Well its been a busy week for me. Monday I was in Texas for part of the day.
Actually I was in Dallas for like 15 hours.

My bike turned 17000 miles the other day. On the way home form work yesterday I
was hearing some strange noises and clinks when i came off the throttle. It
looks as if my chain is wearing out so I went and bought a new chain. That is
one of tomorrow's projects i guess.

Katya is getting big....

We're at the park and today katya actually climbed over the fence all by herself. She's getting so big....

Busy week

This week has been totally nuts. The water heater sprung a leak so I ended up
replacing it under warranty on Wed. Work has been busy and is getting easier. It
looks like I'll be in TX on Monday for a meeting. Katya has been doing really
good now that she is in Kindergarten. I am already seeing a change in her with
her writing skills.

Katya is growing up

Well, katya had her first day of kindergarten today. It was a little bit of a rough start but she had a good time. Tomorrow she gets to take the bus to school.

Holiday weekend

Well, the weekend was a success. We set up the fly next to the gazebo Saturday
and had a bunch of friends over. I actually got to use the whole grill for once.
:) We left the fly up yesterday when we went to New Hope for the night and I
forgot to tie down the ridge pole. The wind picked the canvas up and it came
down on the pin and put a small hole in the fly.. GRR. One more hole to fix
before next weekend's off-road trip. We stopped at a new (to us) winery on the
way home and got some more wine. I love wineries.
