Lindsborg Car Show
I attended the car show in the park and took some photos. I don’t have much experience shooting cars, and haven’t been happy with the results in the past, but today seemed to work out OK. You can click any image to see a larger version. There are more images from the show on Flickr…
300 Miles
Today I reached a new high water mark in terms of number of miles cycled in a month. I made it to 300 miles! This is especially encouraging this year, as my total mileage for the year is down compared to past years. I cemented the deal with one of my favorite rides, down to…
Convert Daily Mile Raw Stats into Miles per Week and Month
In addition to my Garmin (510), which I use as my main cycling computer, I run the Cyclemeter app on my phone. It works very well, and I can keep the phone safely padded and put up while viewing the more rugged Garmin. When I first started using Cyclemeter it offered by default to upload…
Sunflowers and Rose
The sunflowers are starting to bloom and I thought I’d share a couple of shots I took earlier today. I added a shot of our miniature red rose as a contrast.
Lawrence River Trails Bike Ride
I finally rode the Lawrence River Trails mountain bike route, and it was a blast! I’ve never ridden a mountain bike trail quite like this one. It’s true, I haven’t ridden very many mountain bike trails at all, but this one is almost picture perfect! To quote the Kansas Cyclist, it’s got: The trail consists…
Prairie Spirit Trail Ride July 2014
I had the opportunity to ride the Prairie Spirit Trail earlier today. I rode from Garnett north to Princeton, a distance of just over 15 miles. It was a cool, cloudy day, with some nice cloud formations and only a slight breeze from the south. I took a few photos along the way, and my…
Space Aliens?
Or just Walnut Caterpillars? If you believe the linked to article, the images below are of Walnut Caterpillars, not Space Aliens. But then, you would expect Space Aliens to plant this kind of info in order to mislead us, so who knows? In any case these Space Aliens, I mean Walnut Caterpillars are the strangest…
Networking Remains a Mystery
Further evidence I just don’t get networking. I replaced my home router* and my VPN connection to work stayed up even as I moved the cable from the old to the new router. The DSL modem was not rebooted so I kept the same IP address with ATT, but I was surprised that the virtual…
Five Festive Fireworks
After a hearty dinner of traditional fare including potato salad, grilled brats and more, it was time for the fireworks to commence. Here are some of my favorites, and there are a few more on Flickr.
Orchid Trio
Sheryl got a very cool looking orchid while we were in California last year. We managed to get it home safely and it’s starting to bloom, for the first time since it arrived in Kansas. Having been in a bit of a photographic slump I decided to see if I could get anything going with…
