In September we bought a new home in the historic part of Mineral Wells. We literally fell in love with this two-story home at first sight. With the inspection and the closing completed we started our project list, it has grown daily. Gotta love those new OLD homes. The interior upstairs add-on was incomplete but [...]
MTB Derailer Adjustment
Maybe this will save you from a trip to the local bike shop. It will save even the non mechanically incline a few dollars but you will need a few basic tools. I am on my phone so a photo and tool list will be added at a later time. Almost all modern derailleurs function [...]
Transition in life -mountain bikes
Another milestone July 4th, 2011: Desi and I complete our first “together” Mountain Bike excursion today at Cross Timbers in Mineral Wells, Texas. PHEW! It was blazing hot. No injuries on this trek other than our bikes. She started off with a flat. Took me about 5 minutes to fix. Now up and rolling. We [...]
Subway Art
Desi found something really neat online, called Subway art. People are taking special moments of their lives and putting them it into random styles of text in various different formats. This may be old news to many of you but it was new to me. Desi looks at me and says, “can you do this?” [...]
SASHA -The best things in life are free
So Desi and I picked up our new Akita one week ago. She was given the name Sasha Bear but comes to “NO!” and “STOP THAT!” Those words are most frequently spoken to her. Seriously, she is a wonderful fit. We bought the usual treats and toys but, like her, the best things in life [...]
United Way Boo Run 2010
I reiterate – “Married life is bliss and it has really caused me to become rather lackadaisical about posting. We participated in the United Way Boo Run back in late October and I am just now posting… that is lax.” “I must try to be more diligent in getting local news and happenings out on the wire. Here ye, here ye… the run is complete and neither of us died.”
Clark Garden 5K and Fall Festival 2010
Married life is bliss and it has really caused me to become rather lackadaisical about posting. We participated in the Clark Garden Fall Festival run back in early October and I am just now posting… that is lax. I feel like a catholic stating, “it has been umpteen years since my last confession.” In my case, it has never happened but I must try to be more diligent in getting local news and happenings out on the wire. Here ye, here ye… the run is complete and neither of us died.
P90X Week Three Redux
No P90X today. It would be our normal rest day anyway. Tomorrow would be day one of week four {recovery week}. We sorta bailed out on Thursday with no Yoga X. I did do Core Thursday and went to the gym Friday for normal weight training. We did very little this weekend except push-ups and [...]
P90X Week 3 Complete
Kenpo X on Saturday absolutely rocked. The whole family got involved this week as well and it does get easier every week. The legs and arms are getting stronger and quicker. It is week three in the program and recovery week is just around the corner. The reality is that my weight is not shedding [...]
P90X Week 3 begins Chest and Back
Beginning Week 3 in phase one of P90X. We finished week two off on Saturday with a late night round of Kenpo X. I woke up on Sunday so fired up that I had to take an early morning run. That is such a great feeling. The family was still sleeping when I returned. Spinach [...]
