Pig Roast 2007

The weather was less than certain but after setting up in the rain the sky opened up and all was perfect by the time our guests started to arrive. Food was excellent and the music even better.

Bach on the B3

Recorded this in 2006. B3 not sure what is going on.

Century Ride #4

Went out with 7 others members of the CCCB bike club. From Portland to Freedom, NH and back. Crossed the 2,000 mile mark for this year.

Here is the route

Nell goes for a ride

We have never treated our Schnauzer really like a dog. I don't think she minds too much. Always seems that she is game as long as she is with us. We let here off the bike and she runs along with us for exercise. She weights around 17 pounds but you really don't much know you have the weight on these bikes.

She also flies. Goes under the seat. Has flow to Seattle several times, St. John, Phoenix, Iowa. Never makes a sound. Sleeps until time to disembark.

Chebeague Island video

More from Chebeague

Just finishing our week on the island. Marie, David and Regina came over today on Marie's boat, The Lemon Shark. Perfect weather for almost the entire time. Been most relaxing. Did a little work, the cottage has wireless so easy to stay connected if you wish. Biked over 100 miles which is not easy given the island is 4 miles long. Could get used to this. My little keyboard with garage band let me keep up with the piano. Need a speaker but was fine for some practice while looking over the ocean. We are most lucky to have a spot like this just minutes from home. On Maries boat we will be back in Portland in a half hour. Good stuff.
