An oldie but a goodie

One of my all-time favorite pictures. Carrying a young Jace across the finishing line of the SJ Marathon. After this race, it was 6 months before I ran again.

Benchmark Bench

I have been looking for a wooden bench to refinish for several months now. Tina has been scouring craigslist But with little success. One night while visiting my sister-in-law at her apartment complex we happened upon this beautiful old weathered wooden bench sitting next to a dumpster. All the pieces are in place and it is structurally sound. I am going to break the bench down piece by piece, Sand stain, refinish and rebuild it back to its original beauty. I am excited to get started on the project and of course there will be a YouTube video.

Flower Power

During Tuna's installation as postmaster of Lincoln someone gave her a plant. It immediately started to die under our care, so I planted it outside as a last ditch effort to save it. The results have been spectacular.

Long ride made better

It's a long drive from Lincoln to West Sacramento where I work, but I take the back roads because I enjoy the scenery.
