April is feline murderer month

A couple members of Richmond Pro Cycling stopped by to do some last minute adjustments to their machines at “Bike Shed” today before tomorrows Jefferson Cup road race in Charlottesville Va.

Gera and Ryan brought their sweet Italian handmade “Alan” race day bikes. Light aluminum, 17lbs at 58cm, with a full carbon rear triangle and a nice fat carbon fork. Best of all though is the motor that each team member has to power these bikes.

Budget Kitchen, just for the fun of it.

We got a good jump on this kitchen renovation thanks to Hannah and her wall patching skills.

We got to pick the colors on this project and went with "orange maple" for the walls, ultra white trim and "acrobat green" vinyl composite tile on the floor. The cabinets are natural maple and will pull this room together well along with the stainless appliances, fixtures and lighting.

As thanks for her hard work I bought lunch at Hannah’s favorite. When we eat here it’s a battle royal.

Gazebo delivered

Just as Julie was leaving for Milan for the week I was hanging the screened door on her gazebo. Hopefully the weather will be perfect when she returns so she can start having her morning coffee while watching the sun rise through the trees uninterrupted by insects. She’s not a bug person.

Next up, a kitchen will go from chicken shit to chicken salad in just 10 working days.

Bury the hatchet/ In the head of religion

Just kidding, as I joker first and an Atheist second I like to poke fun at what I conceder an archaic belief in an attempt to explain the existence of all that is. I do take seriously the encroachment that religion makes on personal freedom and its dictation of what it believes to be moral, right and the “truth.” That being said, please know that as long as people of “faith” keep their belief private and not dictate to the public their ideals then I feel safe. Other wise I feel that my rights are threatened. As strongly as some people of “faith” feel about their beliefs, I don’t believe in it at all.
So we are at an impass, and I’m old enough and wise, (no comments please) enough to know that peoples belief systems become set in stone as mine are and can not be changed. But that doesn’t mean I won’t point out what I feel is hypocritical and man there is a lot of that to bring up.
But now on you Christians highest of holy days I’d like to show a little respect and wish you all a peaceful Easter and year to come. May we all find our own path with love and tolerance of others. Life is not one way single track, there will always be riders coming in the other direction.
