"Mud" Room

Becki picked a great color and I have the best help in the world. No offense to you, PawPaw. Notice the skill Luke has with the roller. Good Myers/Wendler genes!

New Workers

Luke and Meg came home to lend a helping hand! We are now moving on to the finishing parts of the job! What fun home ownership is! It will be great when it is done. Chek back on wens. for the paint color!

20 Hours Sunday, 13 Hours Monday

To tired to write. More to come! Enjoy the pictures. I don't remember what day it is!

14 Hour Day

What a day! We took out the wall between the garage and the family room to create a larger area and a mud room. The day started well. We went through the wall with no major problems. Cleaned that up and we were on to the framing. With one wall framed we moved to the wall with an old door that we would have to make wider. This would mean cutting the cinder block wall. Lets just say that is HARD work! Very dirty work as well! We had a good day and will hit it hard on Sunday! Check out the pic's!

Construction

Big home project starting Sat. Check back for updates!

Fresh Dirt Pics

These pics go with the previous post. This is the new trail!

Fresh Dirt 1

Dave C. and I built about a mile and a half of sweet singletrack on the property around the Hollow (our school) two years ago. Thanks Glenn for your help! I had never built a trail before and never realized how much work it is to build and maintain. The trail has been one of the best things I have done at school. The students love it and I have sweet singletrack to ride when pinched for time. This year new trail will be added. Some of the trail will be to made to provide a safer ride for thr students, and some will be added to make it more fun for me to ride! Monday was the first time this year I got out in the morning to do some real trail work. I created a new section to one of the climbs. The new section is only about 200 yards long but, it adds a nice switchback to the climb. This does two things. First, the climb will be a little easier for the students. Second, it makes the climb slightly longer and more fun for me!

Great Memories

Winner

Luke and I have been playing this game all the time! Brings back memories and is creating new ones!

The Over Under

On my ride today I started thinking about how many bridges I ride over or under. No I did not count. There are lots of them. Plymouth Meeting is where so many roads and railroads come together many bridges are created. If you leave from my house in almost any direction you will go over or under a bridge in less then a mile. These are the thoughts that race through your head when on the bike for hours at a time! Enjoy some of the bridges from todays ride.

Signs

These are just some cool signs from my past and present that I have passed on the bike in the last few weeks!

Luke is 4! Four years ago Becki and I went to the hospital and knew our lives were about to change. At 8:53p.m. I saw him for the first time. In the four years that have passed our lives have changed, the highlight of a friday night is now giving the kids a bath, getting them to sleep by 8:30p.m. so we can go to bed, or watching Luke play pole position on the T.V. I would not change it for the world. To have a son like Luke is a life long dream. I enjoy almost every second!
For his birthday we had a great family day! Becki and I went to Luke's pre-school for a parent teacher conference. This was my first on the parent end. Yes, I was nervous! As expected it went well! Then the family went to McD's for breakfast. Had a long conversation with one of Glenn's people (I say that with much respect). I hope our family made his day a better one. Then we went to Uncle Dave's store to look at things we can't buy. Always fun! When we got home we played some hockey with the new net in the garage! After a trip to Wissahickon Cyclery to talk with Drew it was off to dinner at Arpegious. A great place with great food. When we got home it was Mike Metzger Monster Energy Cake time. See the pictures for clarification. Yes, we made that cake.
Overall a great family day!

Question?

Charlie! How many miles do you think are on this bike? Don't answer that!
