Last weekend I rode with friends on the back half of Desert Classic off of the Warpaint trail head. In my opinion, this part of the trail is so much better than the front half. Fewer people, more challenging and if you feel like a climb you can go up the helipad trail and then down the steep trail on the northwest side of the pad. So much fun! See the pix: here
I picked up the Excelvan ELM327 v1.5 Bluetooth Mini Small Interface OBD2 Scanner Adapter (link) for the Torque application on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Android phone. I have been interested in getting one of these, but the prices were entirely too high…until now. I paid under $20 shipped and it is working extremely well. Installation of the application on the phone is easy and cheap ($4.99). I’ll post some pictures soon.
As I was driving north onto the 10 split to N51/E202 I saw the driver of this Chevy Silverado attempt to block a driver of a BMW X5 from merging into the E202 lane. The driver of the BMW had turned his turn signal on, but the Driver of the Chevy sped up to block him even though there was plenty of room to merge. Then the driver of Silverado purposefully swerved into the BMW driver’s lane causing him to…
When I converted it to all tile it became too loud and Callie no longer wanted to play with the food cube. 🙁
This July I am planning a motorcycle ride from AZ to ND for my Grandmother’s 90th birthday / Family reunion. I’ll be stopping along the way to visit friends and perhaps run with the various hash house harrier groups if I can stop on the days they hash. and a more detailed look: View Driving directions to Phoenix, AZ in a larger map
We’re back into the mid 70s now and it’s perfect for any outdoor activity. Today I decided to get on the road and enjoy the beauty that our Arizona landscape provides. I headed northwest on highway 87 past Fountain Hills toward Payson, but turned south on Bush Highway and past Saguaro Lake, then along the 202 west back into Phoenix. There were so many motorcyclists on the road today and so many people out hiking and biking. Here are some…
Years ago I had switched to Soy milk as an alternative to Cow’s milk, but found that the emulsifier used gave me migraines. Once again I was looking for an alternative and tried Almond milk. Once again those severe headaches have returned and I didn’t even think of looking at the ingredients when purchasing the product. What is Carrageenan? Well, here is some info copied/stolen (link: http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-carrageenan.htm ) from a website: Carrageenan is a product derived from certain types of red algae,…
Last night the pups and I stopped at the gas station on the way home from the dog park and they were interested in what I was doing at the side of the car with that fuel hose. These two are so amazingly wonderful.
Some people have commented how big Mooch is and can’t believe that Baxter was so much bigger. Mooch is about 95 pounds and Baxter was close to 160. Here is a photo of Baxter and me looking over our fence when we lived in Chandler. The dirt mound was from a big whole which was dug to hold a hot tub. I heard a few people gasp/shout when then saw Baxter watching them walk by on the sidewalk below. He…
The Prius enjoyed the rain yesterday as we all waited to start the Christmas hash and bash last night.
