I am BIB (Back in Boulder) after a quick two week west coast swing.

We just finished Cascade which I thought was a hard tour so a majority of this week will be spent recovering.  Aside of course, from taking care of my domestic duties at our new house!

The trip back from Oregon ended up being pretty long:

 First…Tom, Omer, Teddy, and I had to pack ourselves into Omer’s little car and drive from Bend to Salem.

 We then spent the night in Salem at Omer’s house. Here is Omer with his mom and dog.

 Around Salem Omer is kind of a “Big Deal!”

 The next moring at 4 AM Omer drove Tom, Teddy and I to the Portland airport where it rained just enough to get our cardboard bike boxes on the roof nice and soggy.  Thanks for the ride Omer!  Here Tom and I are at the Oakland airport doing some good people watching.

 Looking like Tom’s legs could use some sun…they remind me of boiled sausages!

 Finally back in Denver taking the shuttle to the car!

It will be a short stint for me at home since I leave for Altoona Pennsylvania on Sunday.   In that short period of time I have a lot of stuff to do.  Yesterday though was really productive I got an appointment for cable and internet to be set up, took care of the hot tub (yes, I am the pool boy), changed my mailing address, sun bathed, and which I am most proud of fixed the dryer!

And yes mom I will get pictures up of the new place shortly!

later, g.

PS. I would like to wish TZ a speedy recovery and keep your head up champ!
