Have recently acquired a rear derailleur from craigslist which had some unseen imperfections. I am dealing with those now, but should be shifting smoothly as soon as I purchase some new jockey pulleys. New shifters/brake levers just arrived in the mail. Yesterday Andrea and I were looking through REI's gear garage and found a sweet deal on some pedals for half off retail! Still trying to land a good deal on a headset.
growing up and up. Radishes, various lettuces, spinach, green onions, shiraz beets, and rainbow carrots. I have also constructed a 'gutter garden' which turned out really well. It is quite fun to come home and check on the garden for various reasons and see that we have a bounty of veggies and lettuces and herbs (as bounty as our urban oasis can offer). It is giving me excellent practice for the day I am able to have a real garden. That potentially could be this summer as I have been on contact with a school program that needs some help with their community garden over the summer months when the kids are out.
All major events/spaces/ideas/concepts are set up and scheduled now we are working on the smaller details. It is going to be the small things where we are going to be able to display our characters. We have been much more lackadaisical about the planning and we both agree that we need to pick it back up and get our butts in gear. Need to stay on schedule to keep this event from being a stress factory.
Mountaineering Course:
Started on May 5 with the first classroom portion as a 2 hr. 'get to know ya' and what the class is going to entail. Have since had a day trip up Mt. Washington involving some rain/snow where our group of 8 really got to know each other in more detail. Have learned about gear do's and dont's. Heading on an all day outing tomorrow at a local ski area to work with our navigation skills and ice axes. Weather should cooperate this go around. Just one more day closer to climbing Mt. Baker on June 18-21.
