cooking

Cooked lunch at the park the other day. trying out the MSR Whisper Lite.. need to get used to cooking on it. mmm rice and beans.

Gearing up again

lots of things.. spread out a few things today to get ready for a possible trip next week. Im slowly replacing all that was stolen.. learning from my experience to upgrade as i see necessary.

yes all of these things go on my bike with me. They fit nicely into thier own little bags.

The Flea

I dont too often make product recomendations but this one is amazing. Blackburn has a light out called the Flea.. more like Super Flea! this light is rechargeable using magnetic diodes that conneect to a standard dry cell battery, of ANY size and charge based on the size of the battery.

The light lasts 3 hours on full strength and 6 hours on what appears to be half strength. The brightness is brighter than my Trek Ion 6 and this thing is 10 times lighter and about 1/10th the size. Freakin amazing light.. it is light, bright, and extremely green friendly considering you can use a rechargeable battery to charge it. I got one and definately recomend it to anyone, a GREAT light for the light weight commuter.

Project expedition monkey

This is my brothers new bike.. a new Surly Karate Monkey frame and fork were building it up as a touring bike.. it will soon be ready to hit the road. more pics to come!

Revolution

Pinellas Trail, on my way to work.. took a bit of a detour.. a few miles actually.. but it was a nice little side cut. I heart taking the long way.

Get Bent Together!

I will do a full report on the new shop here eventually... but I had to show this.. a tandem rebumbent. You just dont see things like this at other shops.. and as much as i used to complain about recumbents, they sure are fun to ride!

Good things from the garden

so.. spinich, peppers, and brocolli all got lost to weeds.. moving on.. the corn is growing nicely and starting to bud kernels, the tomatoes took a suprising turn and have really started to grow and the watermellow is kreeping accross the yard. Excellent!
