Trained, Drank and Getting Ready for Holidays...

Hey, wow, it's been a few days since my last post. The long weekend was great, weather held off and finally a long weekend that was fully enjoyable.
Trained...
Went out for a long ride on Saturday morning in a group of three. Did 75k's and averaged a respectable 27km/h. What a work out but felt damn good for the rest of the weekend. Hopefully I can get that average speed up very soon. I'm trying to drop a few pounds before the winter (that's when the weight piles back on), stay tuned and keep track of my fitness here with me.
Drank...
I'm sure the wines aren't helping the point above but damn if I will ever give up my Venetian and Alsatian wines and German beers.
Getting Ready for Holidays...
Amanda and I started to tidy up a few areas around the house to welcome our bestfriends Aileen and Jurg in a few weeks. We're totally stoked. Worked on the garden and lawn to get it back into shape from all the storms and constructions through the earlier part of the year. We also stripped down two big windows, recaulked everything and then repainted them. Hope they'll last us a few more years before replacing them, although they do need to be replaced soon. It looks tip top now and a few more windows to go.

Gardening...

Oh ya, painted the garage door trim too...
