Rickey, Vince and I spent another weekend at the cabin. We arrived early Friday evening and discovered that a storm on Wednesday night had fried our transformer, so we had no power. We headed to town to the Western Bar for dinner, and the electric co-op guys tracked down a new transformer and had it installed within a few hours.
The weekend before we had made a trip to DFC Cycles, and I ended up buying a new mountain bike. It's a Giant Anthem full suspension with 27.5 inch wheels. It is a super nice bike and solves some problems I've been having on the rough and rocky trails in the mountains.
Saturday morning we took off on another mountain bike adventure from the cabin and ended up with 22 miles on some beautiful and rough area trails. The new bike exceeded expectations.
We had taken Rick's truck and the trailer to move some new beds to the cabin, so we took this opportunity to do some yard work and cleanup and carry the stuff to the slash pit in the national forest. It was quite a job to load and then unload the trailer but the place looks a lot better and is certainly safer now.
After the trailer was unloaded, we headed back to town with the bikes and rode a 9 mile loop with very tired legs and no lunch. After the ride, the pizza at the ski resort couldn't have tasted better.
Vince headed home Sunday night, and we stayed until late Monday afternoon. We shuffled furniture, got rid of some old beds and set up new beds. Rick also did some fairly extensive rewiring upstairs in preparation for the upstairs ceiling fans.
The weather was perfect with some afternoon storms and clouds popping up daily and cooling the temps from the balmy 70s to the low 60s. This was a welcome change from the upper 90s and low 100s at home.
