Go WWU!





Just sat down for lunch and noticed WWU just won the NCAA Div. II Men's Basketball Championship. They beat Duke, I mean Kentucky, I mean Syracuse, I mean Montevallo. Hey, a National Championship is a National Championship. I believe Dyno & Skirtsteak are distinguished alums. Congrats.

Dude, Where's My Grille?

First Class' name is now officially Ennui.


Name Changes


SPC Davis is now officially Ocean Man. I've grown attached to Papa Ventoux so I'm not sure how I'll handle a name change myself. On another note, this is what it looks like when the wind blows a 50 year old oak tree onto your garage. Sometimes its good to be a renter.

Diamond Knot Run & 2012 Davis Challenge Prep Series

I know, it's not Trader Joes, but Dynomite's post inspired a Diamond Knot run.

Since Gerald is in town, I stocked up on limes & tonic, but after seeing Dyno's pic, I felt the urge to pick up some more swig.

Yesterday, completed my March requirement for the Whidbey Challenge. (pic below). I am realizing that my conversations with Dyno & Skirtsteak in early January, really did lay down the foundation for my recent stick-to-it-ness.

So anyways, (since Whidbey doesn't mess around), a DK run was a no-brainer. In fact, on my way home, I managed to ride an old route in a new way. GLT - WPC. (Goat Loop Trail, With Precious Cargo - DK Growler).

Also, touched base with Dyno, he was up to trying an experiment with his text response, "perhaps?".

Starting Monday, a new challenge to prep for this year's 2012 Davis Challenge. It'll be over 14 days. Day 1, do as many QUALITY push-ups that you can. Day 2 rest. Day 3, do 10 sets of 1 push up. Day 4, do 10 sets of 2 push-ups. Day 5, do 10 sets of 3 push-ups, and so on, up to Day 12, when you reach 10 sets of 10 push-ups. Day 13 rest, and then by Day 14 see how many quality push-ups you can do then.

This will be an ongoing series, so don't worry. You might be doing something similar with painting rocks and swiging. Will post a spreadsheet by Monday.

March in March

Not sure if we'll ever get this good, but at least it's something we can strive towards...

Walk this month. Dogs & cats welcome too. Log your time on the spreadsheet link here or on March in March link on Blog.

If memory serves me right, last year this was a really fun challenge.

Whidbey Challenge

Lovely Langley!

I've been a parent for 200 months. This 200th month has been the most challenging of them all. Had every excuse to skip this month, but thanks to some BRS pals, I realized there's no reason not to keep the streak alive...

No cramps, no car, no flats, no rain today. Just headed out the door, ferry, wind, open roads, and beautiful Whidbey Island...

Although a short ride, Whidbey does not mess around.
