Snow Pix. Finally!

Hey, remember when I said I took pictures while snow biking with J-9? Well I finally got them developed.

My wheels were in an artistic mood that day.

Me on teeter-totter #2.

With scenery this beautiful, you can understand why snow biking is so awesome.

(The snow is pretty, too!) ;-)

Ready to go home.

After the thaw, J-9 takes on teeter-totter #1.

Manawa Pics

Good news, folk. I finally joined the 21st century and got a digital camera! (It was free with the renewal of my apartment lease.) So now you don't have to wait 6 months for me to put pictures up here. I still need to develope the pictures of snow biking with J-9.

This weekend my little brother Mr. Pibb was finally able to meet some of my best friends: Jeep and Midge (previously known as "Seashells"). We went out to Lake Manawa for some adventure.
Mr. Pibb on his first teeter totter!

1st Dirt!

The weather was awesome on Saturday so Jeep, J-9, and I went to Swanson Park. The trail was in great condition and we had a blast. Well I had a blast.

This is the first time I've been able to take my New Hotness out on the dirt it was made for. All my previous outings with it have either been in the snow or on pavement. She did quite well.

Snow Biking!

J-9 and I went snow biking at Lake Manawa on Saturday. I don't have those pictures developed yet, but I do have my pictures from my previous snow biking expedition a few weeks ago.


Yes, I rode that snow covered teeter-totter. So did J-9 when she was with me last time. More pictures to follow. ... Eventually.

Winter Wonderland! My bike is playing Where's Waldo.

I can hear them now: "Don't worry; I'm not going too fast. I have 4-wheel drive!"

I had a great day, but I don't think this guy did.

My 1st post-mission bike.

The fork crown was originally black, but in the sun it faded into a really cool copper.

Merry Christmas!

My new ride.

Bike vs. Woman

Reasons Why My Bike is Better Than a Woman

1. My bike never complains that I don't take it out as often as it would like.
2. My bike doesn't mind if I take my friend's bike for a ride.
3. My bike is always ready for action.
4. If something is wrong with my bike, it will give me some type of clue.
5. While my bike does require some amount of maintenance, it's not nearly as much maintenance as a girlfriend requires.
6. I don't need to continually try to impress my bike.
7. My bike doesn't mind when I suggest getting some new parts to make it sportier.
8. My bike doesn't ever make me watch American Idol or Dancing With Washed-Up Has-Beens.
9. My bike has 64 nipples. (That is the actual term for the little pieces that secure the spokes to the rim. What were YOU thinking of? Shame on you.)
10. In 15 years my bike will still weigh the same as it does today.
11. My bike doesn't try on six sets of tires in front of the mirror before we go out.
12. My bike doesn't argue with me when I say it's beautiful.
13. My bike doesn't expect me to throw a tickertape parade for it down Main Street on it's birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas, our anniversary, New Year's, Arbor Day, Yom Kippur, Thursdays, each day of Lent, etc.
14. It's wheels may sometimes be "out of true", but my bike has never lied to me.
15. My bike never has a headache.
16. My bike likes to roll around in the mud.
17. Although I've spent more money on my bike than I care to admit and it has still broken down and left me stranded many miles from home on more than one occasion, my bike is still more reliable and faithful than any girl.
