Happy 2009!

I know I haven't keep this blog up last year, so I'll start this list of things to work on for '09 with:

Try to blog more consistently.

I'm not giving more or less weight to anything here, just things I want to work on for the new year.

Cook more at home: Last year we filled our freezer with fresh local meat and I have been trying eat out less often while improving my cooking techniques. We've done fairly well but that means changing habits and remembering to think ahead.

Brew beer: I have been scheming with friends who are experienced home brewers and while we haven't quite got organized, we're close.

Bicycling: This is the year I am going to finish the Midnight Century. I would also like to do a few more all day rides with friends, maybe a wine or beer tour. More trail riding, more exploring back roads.

Gardening: Our backyard is over going a transformation, we have a new patio and sod, for the long term plan I would like to squeeze some veggies out of the edges. I will also try to get over and help my brother and parents on the large family garden(I know I've said it before but that's what this list is about)

Well it's a start, if anybody's still checking this blog occasionally, thanks 'til next time.
