What gives you the idea that SLO county building code requires indoor plumbing? This is a real fixer upper. The crescent moon was upside down! I had to make a whole new door. I didn't realize until I had cut the tree down, cut & finished it to the proper size, cut an appropriate moon, hung the door, plumbed & levelled it that I could have just turned the old door upside down. Oh well, it kept me out of trouble for a week.
I've been keeping busy on the bike. There's a nasty little climb here called Prefumo Canyon. Doug says it's been on the Solvang double but thank god it's not anymore. It's a 5 mile climb, most of it in the last 3 miles. Seems worse than Diablo, but shorter. Anyway, I'm using it for my weekly torture in place of Diablo. I hate it. Pretty much every week I hate it. But it makes all the other rides I'm doing seem easy.
Keep in touch,

Read right past the sentence re 'bringing plumbing up to code'. Does this mean that your new place now has indoor plumbing? And that it is no longer necessary to make the trek to that building out back with the crescent moon on the door?

Heard a rumor to this effect at the post ride Starbucks gathering, yesterday I believe.
Nice to hear from you.

Subject: Hello from SLO
For those of you wondering where that big slow guy has been for the last month (or those who haven't noticed), we moved to San Luis Obispo. The short version is we've wanted to move here for years & we got lucky & found a house we could afford. OK, it's a fixer upper, but we're here.
Speaking of fixer upper, I've spent way too much time the last month fixer upping. New kitchen faucet, new garbage disposal (including electrical & bringing the plumbing up to code), new dishwasher, replacing ALL the baseboards while Marti painted so we could get new rugs put in. Plus other small jobs that senility has thankfully helped me forget.
Now most of the urgent labor intensive jobs are done. There are still urgent jobs & labor intensive jobs, but none that are both. I hope. Plus Marti is pretty handy so I don't have to do a lot of the little CS jobs. She knows fixer upping isn't in my top 10 favorite things to do. I miss the condo.
As far as riding, the weather is by & large beautiful. It's currently about 10 degrees warmer than the Bay area. Let's face it, the weather in both places is great for cycling. Not bad in Pahrump this time of year either.
Anyway, I only got 100 miles last month, but it's January. Starting today I'm going to try to significantly increase my miles before I get too fat to ride. There's a road called Profumo Cyn Rd that I've done once. It's about 5-6 miles of climbing, the first half is rollers, easier than the second half. I think the total climbing is around 800-1000' so it' kind of like Diablo to the junction. Kind of. And it' only a mile from the house. O goody, torture only a mile away!
Going out on the road,
TomR
