Zoom bikes needs to stock skateboards soon
The concrete pad for the skate park in Petersburg is nearing completion. It won’t be too long before the ramps are being assembled and we have a grand opening. Mike and i really should become suppliers for skate boards and equipment at Zoom Bikes. The problem is that we can’t be very competitive with online …
Smoked Salmon skull
Our smoked salmon dish was not just a hit at our Halloween party – it also won second prize in the Instructables contest. That means i won a $50 gift certificate from American Science & Surplus, a limited-edition Instructables Halloween t-shirt, a year of Craft, a sushi wallet kit and a copy of MAKE’s Halloween …
I programmed the Monitor heater this morning
I should have done it two months ago. I finally got out the manual and programmed the thermostat on the Monitor heater to be warmer when we’re home and awake (6am-8am and 5pm to 11pm) and cooler when we’re away or asleep. I set the occupied set point to 68 degrees and the unoccupied set …
Wednesday site stats
I took a month off of reporting these statistics. I pretty much took a month off of posting also so the site stats should be poorer. A few things shook up the blogging world recently though. Just after i left Google began docking sites that do paid posts. Some sites went from a pagerank of …
Massages
I had about a half dozen massages while in Cambodia, Vietnam and Bali. The first place we went to was in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. For $3-8 dollars you can get an hour long massage or a foot massage or a massage with oil. Cena, Stacy, Levy and i opted for a oil massage and Seth, …
Alaska Airlines gate agent Eva in Ketchikan
Dear Eva, Perhaps you could try being a little nicer to your customers in the future. Today you were quite rude to the 20 or so people that were in the Ketchikan terminal using our complimentary $6 vouchers for food. Our flight was running 3 hours late due to mechanical problems on your airline’s flight …
Winter weather
On the ground in Ketchikan now. We were wise to bring warm clothes (although I didn’t bring any long sleeves) because winter is certainly here. It really was hard to imagine the cold temperatures when just walking made me break a sweat. We managed upgrades to first class for this last leg – just have …
Crutch and bike parts stool a grand prize winner
It was pretty excruciating waiting for the results of the Instructables and Readymade Magazine mash-up contest. We were in Vietnam and everyone was relaxing on the beach and i just wanted to be refreshing the Instructables blog to see if they had posted results. They announced the date that they would announce the winners and …
Headed home
Yesterday we left Bali. We spent the night in Jakarta and then this morning flew to Singapore and are now in Ho Chi Minh City again. We leave for Taipei, Taiwan soon and will then head to Seattle. We’ll overnight in Seattle and then take the morning flight to Petersburg arriving on Monday. We left …
Seth’s wedding in My Tho, Vietnam
After our trip to Cambodia we returned to Ho Chi Minh city and gathered the rest of the group attending the wedding. Mike Tozzo and Ailis Vann arrived from Petersburg (via Seattle) on the same flight as Seth’s mom (Susan) and sister (Devin). Brian Winchell came in on a later flight. Karsen and Kellie also …
