Had a lovely experience taking the train Exeter- Barnstaple and renting bikes for the day- we rode to Bideford for lunch and back to Barnstaple to return to Exeter- lovely day trip and I'm sure the Station Master's was the only place in all of England I was able to buy a giant coffee on our trip.

My favorite, from London this summer. Imagine the foresight of whomever decided these should be planted and all who made sure they grew well all these years- for me to get to see them one day in 2024.

The free pile down the street provided these fish scale Kathy 10th mtn skis over the summer- happy to have my bench se up for easy tuning because no ski leaves this house without sharp edges. These are ready for some logging road laps at Cochrans.

Bike rack project done! All bikes accessible without rearranging a pile of bikes, which has been the system forever. Now to put the rest of the basement back together!

Todays project is making a floor rack for bikes in this space.

First Building 100% compliant with the new form-based code I worked on in Williston should be getting its siding soon.

Pedestrian safety. Time for a road diet on Dorset street.

Has another terrific ride this afternoon. Sunday afternoon in southern Chittenden County is so quiet- nearly silent.

Warm for November today but I made the most of it on the bike. Almost no wind!

Squirrel carved this pumpkin for us last week so I threw a candle in it tonight.

In the statehouse with Leadership Champlain today.

Bikes! (Got out for a ride on this one this weekend, photo is two weeks old and the fall color is all gone now)

Took Monday to build a new bench top. Ski tuning season is nigh and the old top didn’t have a good lip to clamp vises to.
