Complaints about this lingering winter are multiplying, and the ones who were first to complain are getting louder. We first had snow fall in October, and I haven’t seen my lawn since. Yesterday my son asked “Mommy? Can you please mow the snow?” He wants to play outside too. But as of now my lawn’s [...]
concrete porous @ UNH
I caught this report on NECN about this new type of concrete they have developed at The University of New Hampshire. The concrete is porous, and literally sucks up extra water. The porous concrete sits on a bed of sand and the water is cleaned as it filters down into the earth, [...]
I hate shopping. I work retail, and I’m in a shopping environment 40-50 hours a week. So usually the LAST thing I want to do is go shopping. Plus I’m on a strict budget. I usually limit my shopping experiences to a few spare times a year, and 50% of my experiences are now on-line. [...]
Damn the groundhog. It’s snowing, AGAIN here in western Massachusetts. I have not seen the sun shine in what feels like months. My least favorite color is officially grey–because I am submerged in grey. And now I’m in white–all white, all the time. I want green and blue and red and yellow and life again. I want [...]
How I feel after I rideOriginally uploaded by sipclip&go
Just finished a nice workout, and I have to say since I started using the trainer–this one really felt like a workout. I’ve been doing the minimum–about 30-35 minutes just to keep some exercise in my life. It all helps, but I pushed a little further today [...]

We even remarked that both our significant others may in fact like this trail, despite the fact that neither one of them owns a mountain bike. Of course if they came along there would be [...]

I brought my bike in for a once over and my mechanic had plenty to say about my plans to ride in colder weather. Trouble is he’s just learning to speak so I couldn’t understand it all. So I got online and found some good tips on cold weather [...]
My BikeOriginally uploaded by sipclip&goOK, I’ll admit it. I’m having a tough time staying motivated now that the tempertures have really dropped. Heather & I have a mountain bike ride scheduled for 9:30AM at Wendell State Forest on Tuesday November 27th. If you email us and tell us you are coming too, I’ll HAVE to [...]
Heather Descends at Mt TobyOriginally uploaded by sipclip&go
Hey! Whaddya know, Heather & I finally got a chance to ride together! We played a lot–forgot just how uphill the climb to the summit of Mt Toby is, and got to fool around with Heather’s gorillapod and the video feature of her camera.
It was freezing cold–we actually [...]
