More of Summer Stuff


Got several small projects done in the past few days, and a few bike rides in, including a sixty ( well 59) miler. Trying to get tasks out of the way and body in shape for another birthday ride to Mount Greylock.

Reading Einstein on General Relativity ( a few pages at a time) and PG Wodehouse, whose way with words has produced some of the funniest literature in the English language.

With the help of my neighbor I picked up some steel I beams for the barn today. The steel only cost 85 cents a pound, cutting it into three pieces was only $12, but forty holes drilled cost $50. Now, to tear out the old bent beam, jack up the sagging joists, get the steel into place , reinstall  the sliding door and trim.... why do I ever start these things?
