One Hundred Sixty


The website is starting to come together. Poke around if you haven't been there in a while. You might find some interesting easter eggs. Lee Moyer will be starting on the AWESOME Sabertooth Salmon logo next week. I can't wait!

Seems like there's not enough time for everything I'm trying to do these days. Tomorrow's my last day at The Reserve. I should take some pics for posterity. Not sure when I'll make it back there as an employee.

Grass seed is down on a couple of slices of the front yard. Sprinkers are on auto. Life is good.

The Tradition wrapped up on Sunday. Fortunately, the playoff didn't carry over to Monday. Otherwise it would have been yet another split shift on Sunday. Tuesday I finally got to sleep in ('till about 6:30) for the first time in nearly three weeks.

My daily commute (total distance) has usually been about 15+ miles. Once again, no time for long rides last weekend. (That will be changing soon, I promise.) But I did manage to sqeeze in a nice ride via Germantown Road over to Lee's house in Saint Johns and back.

Lifting has been mostly according to plan. Today is yoga.

Tonight I'll ship the Limmer boots back to Peter to be repaired. The sand at the golf course cut right through the stitching in the soles. The leather on the inside needed some attention anyway. It was time.

Sacha called about tubing for the cross bike this morning. Ira will be back in town Saturday. I liquidated some assets this afternoon.

If you're reading this, Paula, don't worry. The Pints course is at the top of my to-do list this weekend.

One Hundred Fifty-Nine

The last several days have been crazy. Here are some highlights:
  • Decided to do RAAM next year.
  • Created a website: www.sabertoothsalmon.com
  • Worked every day at The Reserve since 8/11, including all day this past weekend.
  • Bought sand and bark dust.
  • Installed sprinkers and filled a hole with sand.
  • Talked to Ira Ryan about a new single speed touring bike for RAAM.
  • Talked to Sacha White about a new single speed cross bike, also for RAAM.
  • Talked to Tom Kellogg about a new single speed tandem - NOT for RAAM.
  • Applied for a Balance Bar grant.
  • Started contacting other potential sponsors.
  • Started weight training (M,W,F last week).
  • Started stretching (T,R,S last week).

You'll have to forgive me for not hitting my target long rides on Sunday.
