Seattle, Twin Falls Trail, and Gold Creek Trail

In mid-December, Cait and I took a trip to Seattle to do some extreme hiking with her sister Eliza in the Cascade Mountains. While traveling there, we took a flight from Tampa to Dallas, and transferred to another flight to Seattle. In the Dallas airport, while the plane was boarding, I started getting hungry, so I ran to McDonalds and bought a Kid’s Cheeseburger. About 1 hour before the plane touched down, I started getting …Read More »

Kayaking in Silver Springs Florida

School has been a full time gig (maybe two), so I haven’t been able to make any posts.  This should be expected for the next two semesters.  That being said, I can always find time to post pictures.  Last weekend a buddy of mine stopped over after playing GI Joe for the weekend. About 3 months ago, we went Kayaking in Silver Springs. When my buddy stopped by, he brought some pictures that he took …Read More »

Anclote Key State Preserve and Tarpon Springs

A week late, I’ve decided to follow up on all the events of last weekend. Around Wednesday, I was trying to mentally prepare for the arduous task of fully moving out of my old apartment. Although, Cait and I moved down to Tampa, our old apartment still housed some of our belongings. On Thursday, I made the trip up to Gainesville, and got a little work done. Ok, I’m lying — I laid on the …Read More »

“It’s not an adventure, until something goes wrong.”

Every Thursday after my Organic Chemistry lab at UF, I drive down to visit Cait in Tampa.  The drives are always boring, but the visits are always eventful, to say the least. Last weekend our friends, Michael and Melissa invited us to stay with them and some other friends at their cabin and go Red fishing in the Gulf.  Although knowing, through experience, that good luck and fortune doesn’t frequently follow me into unfamiliar waters, …Read More »

A new bike, a new home, and the 4th of July celebration!

The last month has been a really busy one. If not from classes, traveling/moving, kayaking, I’ve been tied up trying to get my bike repaired by Specialized in California. That’s right — a couple of days after owning the bike, I looked over at the seat tube as it sat next to me and noticed a small crack in the carbon frame.

With another type of bike (steel or aluminum), this would be much easier to …Read More »

Happy Memorial Day!

Today is Memorial Day. Please, raise your flag, eat some delicious food, and go out of your way to do something that you really enjoy doing, all of which is enough to show that you appreciate your freedom and the veterans who have lost their lives to preserve it.

My new bike: 2011 Specialized Roubaix Expert

Out with the old, In with the new

No, this isn’t about my 1974 Jeep CJ5, but I did just sell it.  In memory, I will post a couple pictures that I took yesterday.

Best top soft top that never managed to keep me dry when it rained.

AMC 304, Edlebrock Carb, 200amp Powermaster alternator, and MSD Ignition.

The Jeep without her top.

I’ll definitely miss the Jeep. However, I’m not specifically writing about the Jeep, necessarily. “Out with the old, in with the new” refers to …Read More »
