Nicole is taking a break and I am probably breaking something on the Dashwood.

I am holding up the new head liner that I'm installing in the baja while the glue sets. I found that holding it up with my feet was less tiring.

We paused to take a picture while on a bike ride along the east bay. It was kind of windy near the water. We parked at Point Isabella and rode south to Golden Gate Fields horse track and then north all the way to a marina in Richmond. It was nice and warm. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.

Me smoking in a no smoking zone.  Partly because it seemed like a cool pic at the time and because it was too windy outside to light my cigarette.

Today at work I got to see the new Embraer Phenom 300. They came all the way from Brazil (where Embraers are made) to try and sell this type of airplane. It was pretty cool inside.

I am probably saying something stupid, but the girls are probably drunk enough to think it is insightful.

Eating VanCrap's pork and beans. It was kind of gross, and I found two small cubes of pure fat!

Having a cappuccino made with steamed goat's milk. It tastes different! It has a earthy and grassy flavor with an aftertaste like the rind on Brie cheese.

Sitting at my desk. . . I might not be sitting here for much longer since I'll be switching departments. I wonder where my new desk will be!

Nicole



I am soo excited about my cheese that i put some pictures of it in the blog! They are getting very moldy, and are almost ready to wrap up in a few days. Then they will be in the fridge at the top where it is the warmest for about 20 days. I took them out of the humid cooler to take pictures. I hope they turn out well!

Brushing my teeth! I didn't remember to take a picture all day, so I took this one right before I went to sleep. I went to the dentist today and she said that I have good teeth and that I must brush them well because I don't have much build-up.

Marcel

Just drinking our liter beers at the local outdoor restaurant in Rio

Look how big the garden is getting! There is a tiny baby rabbit that can fit through the fence and it has been eating the strawberries. It bites into them and then leaves them, so I've been eating a lot of biten strawberries now. It also ate some celery and bit the leaves on a brocolli! I hate the bunny! I hope it gets big and can't fit through the fence anymore! I put a separate fence around the lettuce so it cant get it.

Half way up sugar loaf mountain in Rio.  We were to cheap to pay for the cable car so we decided to walk.  Unfortunately we took a long turn and had to hike up crazy inclines in our sandals and then we came up to a huge cliff where people were rock climbing.

Me and Mitsy! Today I was trying to get the wiring right on the Dashwood. I have everything working except the left turn signal. And I also cut off some of the left front fender so the wheel wont scrape.

I am at an iron pouring in Chicago helping my friend Jessica. Behind me is the furnace that we will melt 1000 lbs of iron in. I got to crush about 150 lbs of iron from scrap radiators.

At the dam which holds in all the water at Hetch Hetchy. It was cold and windy!!

Marcel

On the way to rio very drunk

Nicole

I had a salad and strawberries from the garden! Also, the brie cheeses are starting to get the first whiskers of mold. In a week, I can wrap them and age them in the fridge. Good thing, because i have to keep restocking the cheese "cave" with ice every day to keep it between 40-55 degrees and 85-95 percent humidity.

Me at some indian dudes house house party

Nicole

Today I made stuffed grape leaves. You can see the rice/beef stuffing, the leaves, lemons, and the pot with the rolled leaves. I cooked them up and they were really good! The grape leaves come pickled/ in brine in a big jar from tony's. I also picked up grenadine molasses, which is ground up concentrated pomegranates. You can add honey and flavor your own hookah tobacco.

This picture is crooked a little. Today I mowed the grass with the old mower. I found a baby rabbit in the grass. It was sooooo tiny and cute!
