October

WORS GoPro HERO Cam: Darrin Braun Elite Sheboygan - complete 1st lap from Team WORS on Vimeo.

Looking at the video of the Wigwam MTB Challenge in Sheboygan (not a suburb of Kohler) sure makes me inspired to race. However we have decided I will only be taking pictures, not participationing. The Alterra pictures are up on my flickr page. The riding is taking second place to home repairs as is going to the gym. The gym will be a Winter endeavor as October weather is very beautiful. Hopefully we will see wonderful colors when we drive up the 55 miles for WORS' final event of the season. When the days become too cold I will be focusing on weight loss with the gym taking second in fitness priorities, as it seems the more I exercise the more I eat.

I took the car in for an oil change last week, taking with me "Modern Bird Hunting" to read while I waited. Then afterwards riding the trails along the Menomonee River I came across these ducks. The trails were clear and in good condition as far as I saw. It was a good ride and I need to get out for many more. And again last week, yes last week, I took this photo of the spider that has set its traps under our front porch. Currently we are scraping paint and looking to paint the front porch.

October is one of the best months of the year and Misao's birthday. She demands Sushi. I don't know if there will be any good movies that weekend. A chance to splurge a tiny bit. I asked if she wanted this shirt for her birthday and she said, "No way!" But I did buy myself a beinie to keep my head warm while riding in the Winter. Didn't test how it will fit under my helmet.

The book sales are there. Friends have stepped up to buy and promote from literally all across the country and world. But not too many sales so I have a good idea of who has bought and who hasn't. All sales through Amazon United States. I guess Amazon US is accessible from most anywhere. It is also available in the U.K.. People have told me I must be a good writer because my book made them cry. I hope they are not letting people read the whole thing with the 'look inside' feature on Amazon. We could sure use the sales. I know there are a lot of you out there that haven't bought yet.
