It's been a while......

A few weeks ago I thought I would make my daily shaving routine a little more exciting/dangerous, and took up shaving with a straight razor. I got this razor off http://www.straightrazorplace.com/. It was made sometime between 1912 and 1921

I got this J.A. Henckels stainless razor off ebay, it was made around 1928.

My bike ready for the commute to work.

Austin being really happy.

The other day we got Austin a Jolly Jumper. Tina took this picture of him while I was at work, I haven't seen him in it yet, but apparently he likes it.

One of the jobs I go to often is in a field, the other day I came home and found this little critter on me, it's the second tick I've found on me lately, got to be careful.

Some breaking news, we were in a car accident on June 20th, this is the result of it. Tina's car was written off, Tina and Austin were taken to the hospital. Austin was fine and Tina had a some bruises and burns from the airbag.

Inside of the car.

One of our Wednesday night rides.

A big summer storm rolling in.

I got a handlebar mount for my GPS, here is the data from my ride to work one night. There seems to be a glitch though because there is no way I did 106km/hr top speed. :)

Austins first trip to Alberta, this is the river just upstream from Crescent Falls.
I just liked this picture. :)

What is my Mom trying to do to me??

Austin sleeping in his car seat.

Nice hair!!




The first and probably only video you will see on here, since after borrowing Tina's camera to take this video I ended up dropping it and it is no longer working.

Wow, it's been over two months now since I updated this, I feel bad about that. It just seems like there isn't much time or ambition lately. More then likely it's ambition holding me back. We were in a pretty bad car accident with Tina's car. A woman did a left turn right in front of us and we hit her going around 50km/hr. Tina was pretty bruised up, Austin (or Rubberman as I've been calling him) wound up being just fine. SGI settled with Tina already and she bought a 2005 Pontiac G6 GT, it's pretty nice, I haven't taken a picture of it yet though. This week was my first time commuting to work on my bike. Since I work Saturday and Sunday I decided to bike to work those days and take my van on Monday and Tuesday when the traffic is bad. Except for Sunday when I got a flat tire it went pretty well. I have to leave a little earlier but it only takes me 25 mins to ride the almost 8 kms to work. Anyway I will try to update this a little more often (I know I always say that) Anyway ride safe and have fun until next time.......
