Moving Day

Blake moved his project car, a '64 Karmen Ghia, out of our garage last weekend. He bought the car when he was around 14 as boxes of parts and a rusted out pan. Over the years he has completely rebuild the car and engine in our garage. It's now lovingly secured in his own garage.


Debbie is riding with Blake to his house and I'll pick her up later.

One of the the things Debbie and I have carted around with us are our electric bikes. They are really great when you get to a destination and we love riding them. The big problem is their weight. They are heavy bikes and the added weight of batteries takes them to a hundred pounds. Riding them is not the problem because of the electric motor, but loading and unloading them onto the special bike rack is time consuming taking about forty five minutes. The bike rack was designed to transport them but it seems to be getting stressed and I was afraid it was going to drop the bikes in the street at some point. We decided to leave the electric bikes and take lighter weight mountain bikes with us. It may seem to you that I am making a big deal out of this but you weren't the one loading and unloading those bikes.

Anyway we went on a bike ride in Alameda. It was a gorgeous day for riding and Alameda has wonderful bike paths and a really great one along the beach.

Ty continues to discover places in the Horizon he has yet to explore. He had trouble opening the cabinet door.
