Turning 40!

It’s so easy, even a physicist can do it.



















Please join Brent and I to celebrate his birthday on January 2nd at Abella in down town Tacoma across from Union Station on Pacific Ave at 5:00PM for pasta & pizza. Dinner will be hosted, beverages will not. Britt and her friend will be available to watch kids at our home during the event (both are babysitter/CPR, first-aid trained). Please RSVP so we can get a head count for both sitting service and food ASAP

Birthday time again....

Want to build a mountain bike? first, sell your bug.

Pay some bills, take what's left over and...

Then, to get "the" ALL mountain bike just right...begin with a great frame and fork

Then add some drive...

Then add wheels & brakes...careful to remove weight where reasonable
