all hallows' eve, eve.

Not much going on in Lap's land. Running mostly, as the leaves here in VT are falling like Halliburton stock (badum-ching) On my run last night I ran into a friend who is charge of local trails and lot of trail equipment. He had just dropped a gas powered leaf blower at another friends house, and that second friend blew the local trails like a.......guy with a gas powered leaf blower. So, Marc, Timber and I set out for a quick spin on the buff fall trails.
Marc likes the trails without leaves on them. Even when he is hung over.
Timber likes trails no matter what.
You can see the happiness on Marc's face. His winter hat only lasted five minutes before it was taking up space in his jersey pocket. The ride was good, only one catastrophic bike handling failure, in which I ended up hurting the top of my foot. This is a first for me. I don't know how I hurt the top of my foot in a bike crash, but it is still a bit sore. Weather here is iffy, maybe some skiing tomorrow!

  1. I used to think that gas leaf blowers were stupid until I saw the blanket of leaves on my freshly raked trails. a rental will be made and soon.

  2. They are soooo worth it. 3 hours of raking or 30 minutes of blowing. It even sounds more fun.
