I should get a diploma, too. Or maybe something slightly more sparkly than a diploma.

Freakin’ A. I have just spent the last three hours sanding, sanding, sanding down the fiberglass and paint on Brett’s moped for his school project. I’m covered in fiberglass/bondo dust, and little flecks of paint from the moped. I feel gritty, and I have a cough from the dust. I had to wear a mask!! [...]

a somewhat blah entry about our random, boring life

This is just kind of my thoughts as they’re coming out right now…there’s nothing earth-shattering here, just thoughts about life and what’s going on right now. So Brett’s out of town this weekend. He left tonight at 6. He’s going to the Mopeds Gone Wild rally in Richmond, VA. It makes me feel kind 0f [...]

Man, the bbq was fun

What a weekend. Whew. I’ll be recovering for a while…I still feel exhausted and it’s been like 3 days! We left Portland last Thursday after work to drive to Moped BBQ 11 in Kalamazoo, which is about a 17-hour drive from Maine. Dan drove his truck with three peds, and we drove our Blazer with [...]

at the rocketstar

P1010018.JPG Originally uploaded by simonk. Man, the Moped BBQ was awesome. I’ll try to post a coherent recap soon…in the meantime, I’ll post a few photos of the weekend. This is on Saturday morning, at the Rocketstar, which is a coffee shop owned by Dan of the Decepticons. It’s where all the moped people hang [...]

rainy, lonely day

I cannot believe it is April already. This year has sped by so quickly…it seems like Christmas was just yesterday, and here we are, about to spring forward tonight. WEIRD! It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Not a whole lot to tell, really. Brett’s in Virginia this weekend for the Mopeds Gone Wild rally [...]

working on Sunday is no fun, but at least there is air conditioning here

Well, it’s still pretty humid today, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. The temperatures are a little lower, which helps…and hopefully we’ll get some rain this afternoon to cool things off a little more. Though I am at work right now, which sort of sucks on the one hand, it’s nice on the other [...]

being pulled over does nothing but destroy the pleasure of strawberry ice cream

So Brett and Wendy and Caleb and Marci and I were riding around Baxter Boulevard when a cop pulled up behind us, flashed his lights, and pulled us over. It was really weird. I guess Brett and Wendy and I just happened to be riding three abreast when we passed him, though what was really [...]

finally! the internet at home!

Well, as of Saturday, we are connected to the rest of the world, thankfully! I have the entire Internet at my fingertips, and no more worry of sneaking around at work. And, perhaps the best part is, I’m in my pajamas! So now that I have the Internet at home, hopefully I can be more [...]
