Bear Mountain NY

Went for a little hike last weekend with a group. Top-to-bottom: Bear Mountain bridge over the Hudson, View from the top, and a peak of NYC in the far distance. Stellar weather.

Road trip

Co-pilot is ready… I need coffee. Jeep needs fuel… then, to PPK Philly!

1,800 feet

This entry is part 2 of 13 in the series Williamsburg Bridge QM challenge

I went for a 45 minute walk this morning! In QM. Went about 1,800 feet (~555 meters). No standing up, just resting in a squat. This is part of a challenge some friends and I will be trying next weekend (Saturday 22nd). We’re going to attempt to bear-crawl across the Williamsburg Bridge from Brooklyn to NYC. :) If anyone in the area wants to come out and lumber over the East River with us, it’ll be in the morning and we’ll make a Facebook event for it.

Soon

The other day I setup the wood crib by the side door, and lit the wood stove for the first time. Aaaaaaaany minute now . . . I will admit, that I do love that Pennsylvania has all four seasons duly represented — even when I have to shovel snow :)

Swivel pipe clamps

EIGHT. DOLLARS. I found a place which sells these online for 8 (eight, EIGHT?!) dollars each. Sure, it took forever to get here, their box exploded and FedEx apparently had to re-box and re-label it. But EIGHT dollars? So, uh, bribe me if you want to buy clamps from this site before they figure out they have these priced wrong… *scurries off to play with clamps* (This is probably like that time when that well known Scotch-selling web site based in England finally figured out that it’s illegal to ship alcohol to Pennsylvania… after I ordered from them a bunch of times :P

A tree!

Conversation and nature… doesn’t get much better. Wow, what a convenient place to drop an entire tree…

This to this

Put this together yesterday. Incredibly gorgeous morning to be moving… aka rapping my head on the bars first thing in the morning :P

Jeep!

In other news… actually went off-roading today. Pennsylvania shale and mud; smells like home :D

QM in the real world

Three foot crawl space. Yeup, Craig is detail oriented and checks everywhere. First use of sideways monkey when it was literally the best form of locomotion :)
