Lobster Lake
The forecast for our 4 day outing was looking bleak, at best. One website predicted nothing but straight rain every day. However, at 6:00 on Saturday morning, Erick and I chose to go with the more optimistic website (3 days of rain and one day of sun) as we loaded the truck and prepared for the long drive to Northwest Maine.   (more)
Can-Mass Challenge
Coming up with the idea of riding a bike 300 miles from Canada to Norwood, MA always seems like a great idea when you’re hanging out with the guys in a testosterone induced state of confidence and perhaps a lack of better judgment. However, when it later begins to come to fruition, reality sets in and a few things are inevitable.   (more)
"BLISS" Shakedown Cruise
Back in the fall, temptation got the best of me. Up the road from my house was this sweet little catboat for sale. Those who know me well, know that I have a catboat fetish... I just love the lines and the tradition of catboating in New England. This one was 15 feet with a black hull and white topsides... very striking to my eye. Even more tempting was that we could afford her. The only downside was that she was fiberglass. This was a tough pill to swallow for one who has a affection for wooden boats. Regardless, "BLISS" still has strong traditional looks and people often mistake her for wood. Anyway... we bought her knowing that we would need to put a little time and money into her before she was ready to sail. (more)
Mondanock 2007
Erick and I made a daytrip up to Jaffery, NH to climb Monadnock. The conditions were icy and required crampons, but we were able to make it to the summit. Temperature-wise, it was reasonably comfortable except at the summit where the wind was bone-chilling required hiding behind boulders for shelter. (more)
The Blueberry Muffin Challenge
Seeing that yesterday was my cheat day (yes... another New Years diet) and I needed a good excuse to eat badly, I came up with the idea for the "Blueberry Muffin Challenge". The idea being that I would ride a 26 mile loop through Marshfield, Duxbury, and Kingston, visiting all the local bakeries and sampling their blueberry muffins. (more)
