This past Saturday we rode the Treck T-200 Tandem on a 56 mile ride and had a great time, I have been so busy working I have been missing my midweek daytime rides with a group of 6 or 8 of us.

This Thursday I decided to play hooky and met up with them for a quick 30 miles and on the way to the ride I saw this wreck, may bee a car isn't so safe. We had a nice ride in a new area following Heath's Garmen 705 GPS bicycle computer. More rides like this are in order.
After this ride I find out a friend of mine in the same business as me passed away. This really topped off my midlife crisis and made the need to try and enjoy life more a little more urgent.

After our ride Last Saturday, on Sunday we went to lake Ray Hubbard to meet Bobby who had just installed a lift and docked his boat there.

We had a great time sailing with light winds and I even trolled a lure for a while with no luck, but we had plenty of snacks and cold drinks. With my newly gained sense of urgency I think more times like these are in order.

Tommorow may be to late.

Heat Wave

The weather has been hot here in Dallas and I have been really busy trying to keep people cool.
This is another job I did and on this one I had to lift this 5 ton unit over a smaller one and fit it in a tight area. Another slight reduction in a homes carbon footprint since this unit is 30 percent more efficient than the one it replaced. This and lot of other jobs have cut into the boat job and our cycling.
I was able to put the temporary bunk on the starboard side of the boat and grind out the blisters under the trailers normal bunk, and allow them to dry good. I have no idea when the weather and work will allow me to finish this part and move to the other side, but really I'm not in a hurry.

The old Truck bit the dust after 220K miles of service work, it was a good truck and never gave any trouble, I hope this one does as well. The good thing is full size trucks are not selling and the incentives are great.

We have been riding on Saturday mornings and maybe one other short ride during the week, I rode a really fast ride with some racers on The 10th and could tell my conditioning is off. I guess I'll have to put work on the back burner and get back to important stuff.
