Married Life



Well, we are officially back from our honeymoon today. Natalie started class this afternoon and I am back on the job market. We got Rosie mostly settled and looking like a home, kicked it off with a bus warming party this weekend with Black Metal Stout by the fellas at Jester King Brewery, and we got ourselves a pup. Now onto life.

It is a good life, I think we are going to be pretty busy this year but I am excited about everything we have in store for ourselves with travel, climbing, exploring Austin, and working on our bus. So far we have a new floor in Rosie, a little bit of electricity, an air conditioner, a bed, some storage, a kitchen and a bed. Next on deck is running water, then into the full electrical conversion, and lastly full plumbing. I am currently fixing up our little bike fleet so we can roll in style. It will be good to put some time in on the bikes, I haven't gotten to ride much since January. However, now we live just a few miles from Walnut Creek a chill little set of trails.

Our friend Chris is a first year medical student and has decided to leave his Capri Cyclone with the house while he studies, we have dutifully taken on the care and exercise of said boat. He and I went out yesterday for a few hours and I really enjoy this little one class race boat. It has a more complicated rigging system than my slightly longer dagger boat but is a riot to sail in low wind, I can't wait until we get a little breeze in the fall.

Well, I hope everyone is weathering well, we are making our way through the heat and praying for rain. I hope you are enjoying life and eating well.

Peace, Love, and Rain

Mike
