Crash on the greeneway.

Was riding my bike early. I went under the new underpass at the north end of the Greene way. They had not cleared out all of the sandbags yet and I cought my back wheel on one and was thrown over the handlebars. (I was on the Fixie). Anyway, I dislocated my right hand ring finger.

I tired to straighten it out. No luck. I had to call Larry to come help me.. And even had Larry try and pull it out, but it wouldn’t go back in.

Had to go (have Larry take me) to the Emergency room. I HATE medical facilities because so far they are a complete ripoff. But, alas, I was stuck. (hopefully you are reading this in the future where we have legitimate medical care.. that would be nice, and to no thanks of “conservatives” I am sure.)

Here is the before Xray.

 

And after a shot of lidocane and a bill that would eventually be almost 3000$, Here is the result. It’s sorta fixed.

No real thanks to the PA.. he was lost.. I don’t think he has ever done this before. Than goodness there were no complications because I am sure they would have missed them. I would have Happily paid a couple hundred for the X-ray, and a shot of lidocane, and done the rest myself.

Not Joking.

Riverkeeper Paddlefest!

We were gonna’ be smart and do Paddlefest with a bike theme.

 

Looks like fun right? haha? We have a bike on a raft behind us?

OMg, We almost died. That raft acted like the biggest anchor ever. we could not yank it though the water. we only got half way before we gave up.

Fortunatly… we had a bike with us!! I rode home, and got a vehicle, and went back and picked those guys up!! lol!! We actually got to the end before some others did!! It was SO HOT.

Larry crusein.

 

Ended up riding into the river. This was more fun than the rest of the trip to be honest.

Breakin’ the law.

We stopped below the lock and dam just to check it out. Wonder how much longer it will be there?

Making Tesla Coils

They did not really take this activity seriously.

It’s like I was making them do something they did not want to do.

 

Seems like they might have gotten a little more enthusiastic eventually.

Parts and Pieces.

Dad helping.

 

And, this is how they signify success! notice the Tesla coil in Hannah’s hand. It was not very big. lol.

Adventuring into abandoned buildings, version, like, 4?

This building was on Knox avenue, across from Aldi. It was grown over and had a lot of stuff spread around.

Evidently had some fire along the way too.

I’m pretty sure right after this picture was taken, Amber realized there was a person living in the back bedroom..

!!

 

I think it was purchased to be torn down and commercialized. It’s in a good place for that.

 

 

It’s fun rummaging though stuff though. I don’t know why.

 

Not every day you come across random 8 tracks! lol!

Making Roses again.

This is such an easy and fun thing to do.. I’m sure we will do it again. And again. 🙂


Celia hammering out some copper.

Celia cutting out the petals for the rose.

Larry’s turn.

 

Here they are, the finished product! Not sure how I missed Rockwell cutting and/or hammering.

(Actually, I think Hannah hammered it for him.. I think he was late to arrive, he had another activity he had to come from)
