We went to San Antonio today for my cousin Jennifer's wedding. It was nice taking a vacation day and taking the drive. It has been a year since I was in San Antonio last, and it couldn't come soon enough.

2010 Trek Fuel EX 9.8

Photo Gallery

So I also picked bought a Trek Fuel EX 9.8 Full Suspension bike as well. We will see which one Courtney will ride . . .

Last week I bought a 2010 Trek Remedy Frameset from Bob. I met Bob through Craigslist and trusted him enough to PayPal him some bucks and let him send me the frame. If UPS manages to get the frameset to me in one piece, it will make an awesome "All Mountain" bike. Built up the bike retails for $3669 from Trek, and by the time I am done with this bike, I will have spent that much, give or take a few hundred.
The pictures of the frame weren't taken by me, so I can't explain the Zebra pattern, but I will get some good shots next week.

Chase found a dead bird today in the backyard. We decided to bury him instead of dumping him in the trash. Chase said a few words at the service, and I got to use my micro lens for something . . .

I managed to change the stem out on my rig today to a new white one, then I thought it looked pretty gay so I went back to the original black one. Nothing else to see here, just gave her a good cleaning and that's about it.
