August 30th, 20077 weeks and counting…
August 30th, 2007It’s getting close to the 2007 MS Bike Tour. I am excited this year, because it is our 25th anniversary and I am hoping to double my goal this year and raise $3000.

Face Book
August 30th, 2007Ok, I decided to accept an invite to facebook. It’s the 1st social network I have participated in. I have found most of these just degenerate into childish bantering so I never got involved.
I like the idea that everything you do has to be authenticated before you can update or add things. Maybe this will survive the pitfalls of some of the older ones.
If you would like an invite, let me know and I will add you (if I know you of course).
How do you chill a coke in 2 minutes?
August 19th, 2007Ran across this on the web:
How to chill a can of coke in under 2 minutes:
That would be about 20-25 minutes in a freezer. If you put [the can] in a bucket of ice, that would halve that time. If you put water in that ice, it’d be cold (+- 5c) enough to drink in about 4-6 minutes, if you put salt in that water, you’d reduce the chill time to just over 2 minutes. Agitating the can in the water, rolling it around, reduces the chill time even more.
The fastest possible way is to grab a CO2 fire extinguisher and unload that sucker on the can
More of what’s going on…
August 19th, 2007Training is on the top of this weeks list. We rode 40 miles up to dana point. What a lovely ride. Angie rode with us, but had to sit out the last six miles of the ride. I think she reached her limit for the week. She did ride the 56 with all it’s hills two days earlier as well.
The pool appears to be holding it’s own now. I think we got the last of the leaks.
The pond had two more places where the water was over the liner. I will just go and expose the entire edge of the liner all the way around to make sure I have it all. Then I will shore up the liner in all places so it can’t slip again.
I ran my new main water line to the back of the property, so I hope by the end of the week I will have all the sprinklers back online. Our redwoods are in desperate need of water and with this heat it comes just in time.
I think we are going to replace the windows so we are waiting on a quote. A coworker recommended The Window Factory.
