• Mount Tabor “Not” Race #1

    My first race back on the road yesterday turned out to be a mild success; I didn’t break anything. Unfortunately, that was because I rode the entire thing solo. The Mount Tabor Race Series is a set of six weekly (Wednesday) races around a 1.3 mile loop with 140ft of elevation that I’ve signed up

  • A farewell and some hellos

    We are now a single car family. Err “family.” We knew we didn’t need two cars here, left hers in VA (sold a few months ago) and have been getting around in the GTI ever since. Except only I really got around in it. The manual transmission bit wasn’t in the cards for Mrs. Heather,

  • Long time, no post

    Sorry about that. This home ownership thing has been keeping me pretty busy. I won’t bore you with the million little things I’ve done over the past months as a homeowner, but will instead hit the highlights with no detail. Fixed a leaking washer pump, replumbed our kitchen drain stack with a vent and installed
