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.

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.

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
