My Craigslist trolling has paid off once again
One of my rainy day activities is to troll craigslist to fill my wishlist. I missed out on a sweet deal on a pull-behind camper trailer last week, but the deal I got yesterday totally made up for it.
Updates on Training
Okay, so my attempts at a weekly posting have really gone awry over the past month. I got crazy with work and, between the heat and the rain, I just haven’t been out much. Or at least not enough to make an interesting trip report.
PCT Hiker Meals on the Cheap
WalletPop.com had two of their reporters (Adam Kaufman and his girlfriend, Katie Lorah) go to a bulk food store to stock up on supplies to fill drop boxes on their Pacific Crest Trail hike.
Continued conditioning
I’ve been stepping up Ranger’s conditioning over the past several weeks. Compared to how he looked a month ago I can see some genuine muscle development. In the past month his chest has expanded 1.5″ in diameter. From two weeks ago his top speed sprinting alongside my bike has increased by 0.3 1.8 mph (to…
Summer Training

Canine Health Records

Earth Day 2010
Earth Day is coming up this Thursday. One of the events I’m working on for work is a tree planting day.

A little walk with Ranger along the Cardinal Greenway
I got out this weekend and took Ranger for a walk on a section of the Cardinal Greenway (the Whitewater Gorge section) in Richmond, Indiana. We parked at the site of the former Gennett Record Company. Unfortunately, I didn’t take my camera, so I only got a few pictures that a friend took with my…
