summer is waiting
nothing last night. my sister in law/new niece are dealing with the whole being a brand new human thing so robin was in edgerton to help out. cal and i had a very nice evening together - i made dinner (grilled chicken, rice and steamed vegetables) and then we headed out for adventures. baseball, tent worm extermination and bike riding were on the schedule for the evening. he even requested an early bed time.
i had planned on running but it is generally frowned upon to leave the house with a two year old sleeping. so i did some house stuff - cleaned a bathroom, cleaned a light fixture in the kitchen, did more in the garage. i have a small project in mind to spruce up our kitchen including swapping out our pendant lights and finding some new bar stools (our old shopko specials are beginning to fall apart a little). we'll see about that.
i'm also very motivated to get rid of things that we don't use. and i don't mean throw them away - hopefully the things we are sick of will provide usefulness to someone else after we donate them. we have 4 external house lights that can got the habit for humanity store and tons of clothes that just need to get dropped off. we were still storing stuff from early college in boxes in our closet - why do we do that? and more importantly, why did we ever wear that stuff???
of course, it wouldn't be an american purge if i didn't replace it with something. i bought some bontrager tubulars off of ebay yesterday. the front is an x-lite w/dt swiss hub (pre-2008). the rear is a xxx lite (carbon) with the carbon hub body. i got them for a steal and they come with challenge limus 33 mm tires glued up and ready to rip. all that for right around $200 - a great price (i gotta believe the seller is a little pissed) - and it may provide a budget for a second front wheel. that way, i could have a limus on the front for muddy conditions but run schwalbe racing ralphs all other times.
happy tuesday.
