Housemate alerted me this morning to the fact that the trellis in the backyard lost a support. We had the same rot happen to the front fencing, which property mgmt. took over a year (maybe 2?) to actually get fixed. That was because of some property-line shared fence with a neighbor who didn't want to go in 50% or something. Now this is actually in the backyard, and was over the propane grill which we moved out of the way. It is still bolted to the side of the house and we won't be seeing anyone until later this week, and then who knows how long until repairs.

Made a lamb stew tonight with red lentils, over some weird and decidedly bad egg noodles from Croatia (next time guyver3, pay attention and not just grab a bag of noodles).

Nice sunny day! Here's the moto now complete with LED signals, brake lights and the small windscreen. Windscreen totally makes the difference going fast on the highway :D

More pasta dinner, for roommates who actually pedaled today while I rode my deathtrap.

Farfalle with chicken thighs, shittake, scallion, crushed & drained tomatoes, garlic, splash of sriracha for heat, and dollop of dijon for more heat.

Today was Bike to work day, so my coworker and I biked to work. Are we doing this right?

Based off that last beer & sriracha braised chicken thighs, I seared off some tri-tip steaks to mid-rare, and let rest while I combined the sauce ingredients (with dijon mustard instead of hoisin sauce this time) scallions and mushrooms and reduced until ready to cover rested steaks. side of sauteed asparagus.

Found http://appetiteforchina.com/recipes... linked off a local craft beer store's website, and gave it a try. Changed out hoisin for worcestershire sauce. Side of spanish rice pilaf and mixed greens with feta and grape tomatoes.

Bought a 2013 Triumph Street Triple 675cc as replacement for my 1997 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100cc

Grass-fed rib-eye, spinach steamed with soy sauce and garlic, and couscous with mushrooms.

Was in London this March and took a ride in the London Eye (giant ferris wheel). Played around with camera's built-in tilt-shift mode while I had altitude.
