This Train Keeps Rolling

Torpado to Tommaso

(Tommaso)

(Stripped Torpado)

The new bike frame, wheels, and components were a tag sale find ($25). Everything else was funded by ebay sales of Torpado parts. It rides so much better than the last one and took a fraction of the time to put together. May still need a new cassette and chain, but I’ll do that when I get a professional tune-up in the future.

Oh and I wear bike shorts now- in public. Look for it.

Thanks for the Help

A big thanks to these two guys- without them, I wouldn't have been able to get the kitchen done. Kodish (right) loaded the materials into the back of his Prius (a lot of room in those things) and Jeremy (left-obviously) spent a few days giving advice, lifting, cutting, drinking beer, and listening to me swear in the kitchen.

Thanks again guys.

Kitchen Done

Kitchen Redux 1

Needing to feel useful, I started yet another project. The overwhelming amount of pink surfaces in our kitchen impelled me to act, and now it is well on its way. It will be a few more days before I’m done with the countertops and drywall, but I am having a good time. The floor tile is next, but I may take a break from the kitchen before I attempt that; the home theater needs attention and the bike needs riding.
