new ride...

dismemberment plan on friday night. they put on a show that anyone would be proud of, let alone a band that hasn't been on stage together in 4 years.

took my new bike out to elizabeth furnace saturday with tommy, mike, and pete... there's some tweaking to be done, but she's a real nice ride. fireroad to mudhole gap to bear wallow (up & back down). i didn't do many "big" rides last year, the kind with 4 mile downhills and lots of ricks, so i'm feeling pretty out of practice.

sunday was a garden day. tried to buy a lawnmower, but home depot only had the really cheap ones and the really expensive ones. we need to find one soon, as the lawn needs a haircut almost as badly as i do. after that we went over to behnke and picked up more plants for the garden and some herbs for the herb garden. we both love cooking with fresh herbs, but it gets expensive to keep buying them. i'm going to give peppers another try this year, since we've got somewhere to put them and good sun.
