Thought Distillery

This weekend brought a couple of long-promised projects to completion. First was plumbing up some microirrigation in the greenhouse so that peppers and basil can thrive during upcoming vacation. Later on Saturday, I joined Katie to run in the Mid Summer’s Night 5K Run. Katie and crew performed awesomely – couch-to-5K was a resounding success! As for myself, I always find it difficult not to push myself when others are ahead of me. That combined with only one other guy in my age group helped me finish with a blue ribbon. I certainly did not expect that with my very modest 25+ minute finish, but it does feel good nonetheless. Finally today I cut loose with the shop-vac, sucked some cobwebs in the garage, ran some wire, and installed a keyed garage door opener. Bulky wireless transmitters don’t cut it for bicycle-only living so this should be really convenient. Here comes the photo evidence:
