So there.
*
We've been a one-car family since last Saturday, when we sold my wife's
car. That means I've been riding to work (bike or motorcycle) the past
four -- okay, three and a half so far -- days. And being January, that
means it's been raining. Last week was nice... At least it hasn't rained
in the morning. My wife has been good about offering to drive me, but
I'm not keen on having her get up when she doesn't need to, waking up
the baby and all, just to trundle me off to work. Besides, Rule #5 and
all.

I'm about to order up the tubes for my first two solo bike builds. One
for my wife, an all-road model built on 24" wheels (507mm for those who
speak ETRTO), disc brakes, and 1x10 gearing. The other is a push bike
for my young daughter, for when she's big enough to straddle the thing.
Just a couple more tools and I'll be ready. Exciting times...

Taxes are already filed with the IRS. I have to adjust my deductions
for 2014, so I don't give so much money for the government to make
interest on all year. Sure, it's nice to get a financial
shot-in-the-arm, but that could have been used for other purposes
throughout the year as well.
*
Less than two months until the Elbe Multi-Strada Loop ride. I'll be
going out to do a recon on the dirt roads soon. I'm pretty excited to
see how this ride goes, as I've got more planned for next year, with
some exciting possibilities that could include some national attention.
*
Lastly, I want to give a shout out to my nephew who's going through a
rough patch now. Chin up, man. It gets better. Take a ride in the
mountains, see the vastness of the world. Great things will come out of
it all.
