Visited states

I couldn't resist trying this out.

I haven't actually been to Hawaii yet but I put it in there since I plan to go next month.

I'll have to try this again sometime and exclude the ones where all I saw was an airport.

Ride to the barn

5 of us rode to the barn for lunch. Alex, Chas, Ted, Bob, and I.

Trip was pretty cool. We stopped at the national cemetary in Wayne county, saw skydivers rain from the sky, and ran out of water just in time for a very nice lady who insisted on giving us ice water instead of the hose water we asked for.

The food at the barn was pretty tasty.

Yard Sale

We are having a yard sale today. It's raining so it's more of a porch sale.

So far 3 customers.

Update: Turned out to be a bad sales day. I think we only had maybe 10 customers all day.  And the very next day was a beautiful sunny day. Bad luck!

South Towpath

We rode the towpath from Akron to Bolivar today. Traveled about 45 miles and it took us 5-6 hours.

We are thinking about riding the north half to Lake Erie. But we aren't sure how far we can go on the path.

Basement work

We started work in the basement yesterday. Primer was first.

We'll be starting to paint tonight.

Here's to luck because I'm not 100% sure this is going to turn out looking good but it will certainly be fun trying.

Concert

We went to see the orchestra play Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Struass last night.

Lightning storms were dancing above the stage in the sky several miles away during the performance. It was pretty even while I was thinking about how dangerous it could be.

Little bit of rain but had a great time.

Ayaka told me this morning that she really liked the concert. That was the first time i can remember her recalling something from the previous day and having an original comment about it.

Long days

We've been working 7am-9pm daily. Pretty depressing but then we come outside and see a beautiful sunset over the ocean. Wow.
