This summer, I had a chance to work with the folks at Ecospeed. They make an electric assist for recumbent bikes, and are they ever fun! You haven’t really riden a bike till you’ve riden a bike with motor. When you are headed uphill, or you just feel like flying - press the accelerator, and you are taking off.
The other thing that is so amazing is that you are doing your pocketbook and the planet a huge favor. Imagine not having to gas up at $ 4.00 a gallon (or more) - just so that you can go to the store, or pick up the mail, or just feel like messing around. The great thing about using an electric bike is that you can use electricity that could be produced by wind or solar, and the amount of energy it takes to move a 40 lb. bike is so much less than it’s ever going to be to move a 3000 lb. car.
Folks, it was brought to my attention that the Xacti E1 is out of sync - by 5 Frames. So I checked it out and here’s what I found. I had not heard about this, but that only means that I don’t read everything on the web.
According to Wikipedia, there are 3 versions of this tune - Pat A Cake, Patty Cake, and Paddy Cake (clearly Irish). But around here, it’s Patty Cake. Kaden is just wonderful. So cute that I have to post some more of this tyke. 24 pounds at 6 months!! Outrageous! No more mother’s milk!!! What a sweetie-pie! Being a Grampa is pretty fun, I gotta tell you.
This is the last piece on our first summer of blueberry farming. With the help of Rick Baird, Jamie’s brother, we got our rabbit fence up - literally minutes before we left to come back home for the winter. It was a sad time, but it was also joyous to see such a beautiful fence and the blueberries prospering so well.
I've been working on our original website
