Developmental Milestone

Greyson rolled over from his back to his belly tonight. I got so excited that I exclaimed, “YOU DID IT” and scared the little man. But he could tell that I was happy and he started rolling over again and again. When Taffy showed up I said, “you need to see something…” Greyson was a little tentative, but then he did it.

The little man was so proud of himself that when we put him down tonight, he rolled over after we left. Unfortunatey he has not worked out rolling back. We found him face down, head against the crib wall, screaming his head off. We told him that he needed to stay on his back while he slept.

So far so good, but I’m half expecting a middle of the night wake up call.

Miles till new bike, 416.5

Taffy made the mistake of agreeing that I could buy a new road bike if I road 500 miles. I told her that after today’s ride I was around 75 to 80. Tallying it up just now, I’m figuring 83.5ish since I started this year. Not bad for a previously sedentary guy in his mid 30s.

She immediately said, I’d like to change that, but I’m holding her to it.

416.5 to go…

Despite chain failure, another 20 down…

I worked in the middle of the night last night replacing firewalls in front of our e-commerce site. Switching out vendors. I expected issues, and really had none. My good friend Bill did most of the work and he did a great job, so our 4 hour window only lasted 2.5. As a result, I was able to scoot out early today, which I did.

Hopped on the ride around 2:15 and rode down to the B&A trial. I was just getting warmed up and was overtaking another rider in the heart of Severna Park, when pop/zing…my chain done broked…I was about a mile and a half from home. Fortunately, I was about 50 yards from Pedal Pushers, the local bike shop. I had absolutely no cash and no credit cards, not even my ID. They fixed me up with a replacement link on the trust that I’d stop by and give them a five spot sometime. I plan to stop by today and hook them up.

So after that brief interlude, I was back out on the trail. I rode the whole way down to the end of the trail at Boulter’s Way and then back north up to Jumper’s Hole road, where I turned around and headed home. It was a great ride.

Now, I’m off to grab a shower and head to the store and the bike shop before picking up Greyson from daycare.
