So today was national bike to work day. Every year, millions of people hop on their bike to save gas and commute to work. As most of you know, I ride in the BikeMS<\/a><\/strong> ride every year. Thanks to everyone that supports me. I have not ridden my bike since last years ride in october.<\/p>\n

I got up early and got everything ready. I was going to have Angie take the truck with her today, but alas it had one flat tire and the battery was dead \ud83d\ude41 That’s what I get for not driving it for 3 months. I found this solar power charger<\/a><\/strong> that I am buying to make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n

I packed my bag and headed out to work. My commute is about 15 miles each way. The ride in was semi-uneventful. I did see a dead snake in the bike path on my way out of Tierrasanta. I stopped at the Qualcomm rest stop just before my work for a quick drink (They didn’t have any t-shirts this year).<\/p>\n

The ride home was just as uneventful, but it was super hot. It’s going to be one of the hottest weekends.<\/p>\n

Tonight we went out to dinner and the movies. We saw Iron Man. What a fantastic movie! The story pretty much stayed true to the comic book, just changing the locations and situation for the modern day. There are a ton of Marvel movies coming out. And a new Avengers movie that brings all the characters together. I guess with a lack of talent in hollywood to write original scripts they have turned to pulp-comics for stories. (Take that Mrs Wrin! My high school english teacher who though comics were trash and a waste of time.)<\/p>\n

This weekend will be filled with lots of work in the yard. Hopefully we get the rest of the DG moved into the back of the yard. Once I have all the borders installed and the DG moved I can start tamping it down and making it solid. After this is done, it’s time to start laying track. Look or new photos soon.<\/p>\n

Oh BTW, I was looking at my creepers and the thyme is growing great. It has grown 1.5 inches in 2 weeks. it’s really going to cover the area nicely. Also, the white star creeper has taken hold and looks great. I will try and plant the irish moss this weekend as well, along with the new alberta spruces I bought last weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
