Helmet


I was able to get a new helmet and jacket yesterday. I've been wanting to find a cool orange helmet and found this on closeout at http://www.ironpony.com/. The store is so large it can be intimidating and quite overwhelming. It is in an old super Kmart and if you are ever in Columbus you should check it out. They've also recently become a Yamaha dealer and have some new Vino's that are beautiful. I was also able to get a new summer jacket. I've been lax in my use of armor because the jacket I have is winter weight. This is a Tourmaster and is mesh with some nice "padding." I wish the DOT sticker wasn't crooked.

New Mexico Peppers




In an earlier post I mentioned my love of the green chile sauce I had while in New Mexico. It is my goal to recreate the sauce. This weekend it was time to harvest and roast some of my crop. I've frozen what I have until there is enough to make a recipe.

Garden




I can't believe it's almost July and I haven't been posting anything on my blog. I've been growing a garden which is a lot of fun to watch. I'm always excited about my raspberries and made my first batch of jam this weekend. But I am also very excited about my peppers. They are a variety that is from New Mexico. These are inspired from our trip to New Mexico. I hope to be able to make a big batch of green chile sauce comparable to the sauce I had at http://www.pasquals.com/. It was incredible.

New Scanner

We just got a new computer with a scanner,printer, copier. I've never had a scanner at home and thought it would be fun to test it out on my blog. This is a picture taken of Wyatt when he was around 10 weeks old.

NEVER Ride A Scooter To The Doctor...

Yesterday I went to a follow up ear doctor appointment. It was such a beautiful day that I had to ride the scooter. The office was also on a road I hadn't been on yet so I thought it would be a great way to check it out. I thought that all I was going to have done is another hearing check. Well...the doctor decided he wanted to put a tube in my ear. I explained to him that I rode my scooter and asked if this would impede my riding. He said I may feel a bit light headed, but I could just hang out there until it went away. Not only did I feel light headed, but if I weren't lying down, I would have fainted. It really affected me a lot and I had to stick around for awhile until I felt better. All I could think about is how the heck am I going to get the scooter home if I don't recover. I felt much better after some water and getting out of that room. Moral of the story is...don't ride your scooter to the doctor. You never know what might be in store.
