Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
“Relaxing Yuzu” Cedar Park, 2025
I’m not sure why Yuzu decided to relax in that spot this afternoon. She almost never goes up there, which made it extra cute to see.
“Speed Twin with Bell” Austin, 2025
Today I went to look at motorcycles with my friend and I came across my future bike, or at least the same model. This one had only 200 miles on the odometer and a few add-ons, so it would be a good deal for someone. I prefer a different livery for the Triumph Speed Twin 900, so I wasn’t too tempted to buy this one.
What caught my eye, though, was a small bell attached to the bottom of the frame. It’s called a gremlin bell and it’s meant to ward off the little troublemakers that cause mechanical problems. I read that you cannot buy the bell for yourself but instead it has to be given to you by a loved one. What a neat tradition!
“Piplup at the Lake” Cedar Park, 2025
I had the day off today, so Piplup and I went for a long ride along our usual route on Brushy Creek Regional Trail. The cooler morning air made it extra nice before the heat set in. On the way back, I spotted a sign that made me laugh – I have to imagine the person who wrote it was chuckling too!
“Piplup at the End” Round Rock, 2025
“Funny Sign” Cedar Park, 2025
“Mango Ice Cream” Cedar Park, 2025
I noticed the last ice cream sitting in the freezer and couldn’t resist. My son swore it was the best ice cream he’s ever had, so I had to see what the fuss was about. It was a mango pop, and I have to admit—it was really tasty, though maybe not “best ever” level.
A little later, I found out Mariko had told the boys that last ice cream was actually reserved for her. Busted! Guess I’ll be on dessert probation for a while.
“Kitchen Clouds” Cedar Park,2025
Two quick snaps of today’s sky. We had a little rain earlier, but it cleared up into a pleasant, cooler evening. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts because the forecast says we’ll be back up to 100°F before long!
“Evening Glow” Cedar Park,2025
