On the commute home, I found myself behind this fantastically painted car. Only managed one quick picture before I lost him in the traffic. Have never seen this car before, but hope I come across it again sometime so I can get a better shot of it. I love car art, especially home-made car art. This looks professionally done, but you never know. Looks like they spent all their dough on the paint job and had nothing left to fix the ragtop.

The Packers beat Da Bears, and they're going on to the SuperBowl! A total team effort and the perfect subject for my photo of the day!

Go Pack Go!

I love the cold weather. Got out and hiked seven miles. One of the things I love about cold weather is getting a good fire going. Now if we could have a little snow please...

Image for January 21, 2011 - Flat Tire

Flat tire.

Drag.

Driving home from work tonight, I heard and felt that awful thump, thump, thump of a flat. I was heading to the grocery store and was nearly there when I had to pull over. I've changed a few flats in my time, so quickly set out to mount the spare and continue on with my weekend. The first nut came off with no problem, the second, not so co-operative. It was reluctant, then stubborn, then... SNAP! The damn bolt snapped off! Happy Friday. I pushed on trying to finish the job and get the spare put on, but one of the nuts would not go on, so I had to call road assistance. Frustrated, I waited in the cold wondering when I could get my weekend back on-track and then saw an ambulance speed by. I then realized, "I have no real problem.".
