Beautiful mountains.

On the road to MI

Getting some chow and coffee at the truck stop in Smiths Grove, KY. I’ll check the coolant in the Land Rover again and then be on my way.

Driving Solo to MI

Starting my 650 mi trip to MI.

iPhone 4

I got my iPhone 4 yesterday via FedEx. What an amazing device. Small, sleek, and responsive. I’ve already gotten iMovie and put together a mini movie about our trip to lunch today. In fact, I composed this blog posting entirely on my iPhone. It is a wonderful pocket-sized content authoring tool. Photo, video, text, it does it all and better than I would have dreamed possible in a phone sized device.

Android on my Tilt2

I just installed Android on my Tilt2. So far I’m loving it. There are a few drawbacks: camera doesn’t work, phone doesn’t ring, etc… Nothing I’m not able to live with. Now I just need to write some apps.

Springtime gardening

Our container garden. We’ve got cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, basil, strawberries, peas, beans, sage and lettuce. Everything, but the strawberries, we started from seed. We plan to get broccoli going in the fall, and more lettuce.

This year we started most of our seeds in coffee filters. It was a great way to get started without messing with dirt, or purchasing starter pods. Once they’d germinated we moved them into starter pots. We made some of our starter pots out of newspaper this time. Saved money and peat by not purchasing as many peat pots.

We’re also going to vermicompost. We’ve started building our worm bin, but I’ll save those details for another post.

Juice…

Found some grapefruit on sale at Publix, so we brought them home and made grapefruit-carrot juice. I had to dust off the juicer, it has been too long since we had fresh juice. I’m not sure why we ever stopped making juice before.

So, if you don’t have a juicer – get one, and if you do – make some juice. Juice tastes good, and it makes you feel great.

Home and almost unloaded.

10 miles from home

Almost home, and traffic is backed up as far as we can see.

Backed Up

97 miles to go and we hit this… Traffic backed up as far as we can see.
