Bagpipes and Ale

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Girtong and I went to see the Highland Games at a local Celtic festival yesterday. It was a long day in the sun, drinking ale, listening to bagpipes, and fighting off pirates.

After I dispatched this ruffian, I returned to my ale, and danced a festive jig.

Our ale-drinking privileges were revoked shortly thereafter.

Bike Lane at my Front Door!

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

I just got a letter from the borough today. They are repaving the street in front of my house, and when they’re done, it’s going to have a bike lane on it!

Woo Hoo!

More Trombone Music

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Another Beatles tune on the Craigslist Rusty Trombone.

I probably should have turned the mic down a bit. Seems like I have some clipping issues in addition to my intonation, lip flexibility, and overall suckiness issues.

LVRT update

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

The other day, I saw on Doc’s blog that the LVRT finally got completed to Lebanon.

So yesterday, I went out to scope the new trail. I parked at the trailhead in Cornwall and rode to the point where the trail used to end, but it didn’t end. It went over the fancy new bridge, and it’s paved(!!!) all the way to 8th st.

Just before the bridge, there’s a new spur trail (also paved) that takes you to South Hills Park.

On the way back, I rode out to the park. It’s a nice park. I found a lovely bench in the shade and sat down to space out and relax for a while.

The trail is eventually going to go to the High School / Middle School, but you can pretty much ride there through the park now.

I gps logged the new parts of the trail, and you can now see the new hotness on OpenStreetMap.

In other news, the new Rail Trail in Lewisburg is coming along nicely, despite grumblings from local yahoos.
