It was a fairly standard week. That’s not all good. We should have had some exciting news about house updates by now. We don’t. We rejected two builders. The third has not been able to give us a contract after two weeks of our initial contact. Even if we get a contract this week, there seems to be little chance of having construction done before Thanksgiving. Maybe next year …

We had some very nice weather for the July 4 holiday. I spent many long hours. At home. My bike has two busted spokes. I discovered this late July 3 while prepping for several days of rides. The bike shop should be open Monday. I’ll get it back in plenty of time to sit on the porch and watch it rain. Bummer bummer bummer.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Other than that minor nuisance, all is good here in Columbia land. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
