Fire on High
I've commented elsewhere on social media that a bit of Electric Light Orchestra always makes yard work more epic, and that I should timelapse my next lawn mowing adventure set to music. As an adult, an excessive amount of my time seems taken up with maintenance and repairs. The cameras don't want to record today.… Continue reading Fire on High
Tanker at the Gates of Dawn
Up at 0400 for a fire call; smoke in the basement which turned out to be an electrical problem. I forgot to stop with the Tanker for glamour shots, but I was able to catch the sunrise on Plum Island afterward.

Calm after the storm #NaBloPoMo
Good morning Metro Byfield! The storm has passed & its going to be a good day.
The Univega returns
It has been a while since I mentioned the Univega here. I finished building it in the spring with a new red tape job on the handlebars. It looked great. And it didn't fit me. I tried riding it a few times, and I discovered that I just don't fit dropped handlebars anymore. I felt… Continue reading The Univega returns
