Seems interesting, but I like my bacon crisp.

A friend took out a loan to fix his backyard up. His house sits way back on his property which makes his back yard super tiny. He had a large deck and a very small patch of grass. The fencing was rotted and held up with stakes. A crew of about 10 friends armed with chainsaws and circular saws went to town and filled a rolloff in about 20 minutes. Then two trucks and a trailer full of stuff. A bobcat will come in later this week to tear out all the concrete and level the dirt before a much bigger fence is installed with much more back yard for his two labs to enjoy.

I took a set of tires off his hands and dropped them off at the scrap tire drop off they offered this weekend. The tire pile was insane. The guy said next year might be the last free tire drop off since some legislation got passed.

A few of them SCS’ers or maybe just me an some other guy.

Took Fuggles with me on a beer run last night. I had the bob trailer loaded down with an 18 pack and was climbing the A street overpass when I heard a clank. Looked down at my chain and watched it break and fly off. My commuter is pretty beat. It had been making some noise recently and I figured my bottom bracket was going bad. The chain was stiff as heck. Apparently it would of enjoyed a bit of lube.

So no chain, a dog, and a trailer loaded with beer. I was trying to get Fuggles to pull me, but I have her so trained to not pull that I ended up kicking my way home. The new chain is pretty.

They sprayed some seed on the dirt from building the bike path. Pretty cool seing how it was done. Guy was standing on top of the machine aiming a water canon to spray the seed mix. Looked like a lot of fun.
