Sweet jumps!

Check out these nasty jumps I found while shredding the trails yesterday.  Soon you'll have a bike and be able to put some air under your wings with me on ones like these!! :-)  There were probably 10 in a row with some really funky ones near the end.

First CT snow 2012! Wahoo!

A little snow won't keep Dunky from doing his business!

Crazy truckers!

 

So this was accident #2 that I observed yesterday that involved a semi-truck.  It was as I was leaving the brewery, one of the trucks must have tried to pull a U-turn and didn't quite make it.  As you can see, the trailer crashed into the roof of the guard shack at the brewery and he kept going until it dented the entire side of the trailer and pushed the trailer over far enough so that it was only riding on the right tires!  I couldn't believe it, seems so dumb.. but really funny to see.

Fall-ing More for You

:-) Thanks for getting the pumpkins for us. I had a blast carving them and baking and eating the seeds.

Before Abby ate your dog! Good thing we got pictures!

Lovely view outside my office window yesterday:
