It is a new year and it is cold! I have been back riding for nearly a week now. I am typically fine with riding to work in the morning, but I find myself dreading riding home. This is a bit backwards to how it should be I think. It has been below 0 degrees the last two mornings and warms all the way to the teens by the time I come home. You would think that the warmer temperatures would make me happier to ride home, but I'm not. Go figure.
We might have found a house. I hope it all goes through. It would really be perfect for our family. It has a big yard, with room for a shop and a garden and space for the kids to play too.
Jenni and I went to the car show on Friday of last week. I was really disappointed. I saw nothing that interested me. I knew that going in, but I'm still disappointed. I really dislike the thought of buying a new car. I would be very happy with a Land Rover Series 2a 109 Station Wagon. In diesel. I don't understand how our nations automakers can have stood still for 40 years. The cars are certainly nicer than they were before, but the gas mileage has stayed the same or gone down in most cases. What a sad state of affairs.
I have gotten back into woodworking again. I really do enjoy it. My problem is that I have to many things that I like to do. I like riding a bike, but for me that is a transportation issue, not really a hobby. Then there is woodworking which really helps me to relax. I think that I'll keep that as a hobby. Then there is backpacking, camping, hiking, and photography. I'll have to find time for all of them too, especially as the kids get older. So much to do with so little time and so little money.
I will be in St George the weekend of the 28th teaching another road 1 class. I'm looking forward to it.
That brings us up to date.
