    Attention, Web Lodge dwellers! Gather around the virtual campfire, for news abounds! As you know, our beloved chat haven took a tumble recently, leaving us lost in the wilderness of silence. But fear not, fellow wordsmiths and picture enthusiasts! Tonight’s online meeting brought forth a resounding “YES!” – the Web Lodge must rise again, eChat…

  • Stupidity Lives On

    Ah, the early days of March 2006. The internet feels more like the wild west and less like a valid tool. Let’s dive into the chaos and charm of these times, shall we? First off, the saga of my website’s disappearance into the digital abyss was as dramatic as a soap opera’s plot twist. Imagine…

  • Web Site Gone

    Ah, steer clear of clicking any links – the website has bid us adieu. This snippet is all I’ve managed to salvage for now. I stumbled upon a new host, but alas, the website’s size is a behemoth, and with dial-up speeds (yes, dial-up in this day and age), uploading is a mission impossible. So,…

  • Web Site Problems

    FutureHosting.Biz is the company that hosts this site. It has been down off and on all day. If you sent me an email today then I did not get it. I emailed customer support and they told me to chack my site … I did … and it was still down. It just came back…

  • What Happens When The Phone Dies

    I was talking to my Dad tonight when the battery in my phone went dead. When that happens you cant talk at all. They called back and got the answering machine. Then they called again. I was pissed and decided to end it all. Now I have no more phone. Follow me to my blog…

  • Rainy Ride

    Here I am, lounging around with my mom and sister, legs propped up like I’m some kind of royalty, but honestly? I’m just beat. Today’s ride took me east, chasing the horizon towards Rock Creek, and wouldn’t you know it? I got caught in not one, but two downpours. Let me tell you, getting soaked…

  • Blackfoot Ride To Potomac

    Hey there, friends! Bill checking in after a fantastic day that ended with me glued to the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Did anyone else catch those flying people? Seriously, how cool was that? It’s like they borrowed some moves from our biking adventures up here in Montana! Now, let me spill the beans on…

  • Geeze … Gotta Get Get Going

    G5 – I guess you have to be there … in my mind. Too many coffees! I am going to Lolo Pass today … well that is the plan. I did see some road bikers while I was coming to the coffee shop and now I want to go road biking. Doh! Well here is…

  • Turah Turah Ride Tonight

    Just got back from a great ride. I did the ride to Turah and back doing M2 (Cruise Intervals). Last Tuesday I was exhausted and almost did not make it back home. Today I did the same routine and felt good all the way home. It was a real good training ride tonight.

  • New Pictures Uploaded

    Yo, check it! Straight chillin’ at Break Espresso, finally wrangled all my pics into submission. Gotta say, it felt kind of like trying to herd cats, but caffeinated cats. #adultingproblems. Anyway, about to grab my trusty steed (that’d be my bike, not a literal horse, although a majestic unicorn would be pretty sweet for cruising…

  • Getting Offended

    Get this! I was in the break room all alone listening to my pod-cast during lunchtime. Then one co-worker came in. I asked if I should turn it off. The co-worker said, “No it is like a radio”. “ I don't mind”. Then another. I asked the same question. No one minded.

  • Beetle In Peril – Looking Back

    I am sitting at Break Espresso, the sun is out, and we are above zero. What a nice day today is going to be. I am just getting done uploading some more photos. This batch is from three different situations. Woods Gulch Hike, University Mountain Hike, and the ever-famous Beetle In Peril. The first set…

  • Trip Across Montana Picture Posted

    It’s super cold out. So, I’m indoors, catching up on uploading pics from my Montana trip early this year. Drove from Lambert to Missoula in a day. Nearly fell asleep at the wheel multiple times, so I started snapping photos to stay awake. Not sure which is riskier: taking photos while driving or nodding off.…

  • New Photos In Photo Oasis

    Just posted new pics on Photo Oasis, capturing my New Year’s at Aunt Paula’s in Lambert, Montana. The place’s vastness brings a unique mix of freedom and solitude. Despite the freezing temps, the sunsets and sunrises are unmatched—something I’ve missed since moving from Connecticut to Missoula, where mountains block the horizon. I’m now sorting through…

  • Oh Discordia

    Oh, it’s frosty out there, alright! But let’s be real, this isn’t our first winter rodeo. I’ve got this theory that we’re all kinda regressing. Seems like everybody’s turning into a bunch of softies these days. A little cold snap or a “massive” snow dump of, what, a whole foot, and suddenly it’s all hands…

  • Cold Snap

    Listen, I’m not one to brag, but unlike some temperature-sensitive humans around here (cough, lazy cough), I could practically do a polar bear plunge in this weather without flinching. So what if the weather report reads like a dystopian novel with Butte’s high tomorrow resembling a walk-in freezer set to “Arctic Blast”? My internal furnace…

  • Yuk!

    Hey from Break Espresso! Just saw someone do the ultimate no-no: licked their spoon and put it back in the communal silverware bin. Gross! They’ve knocked down a wall here, and I gotta jet ’cause all the plug points have disappeared. Had a blast skiing with the Rocky Mountaineers yesterday. Ended up leading the squad…
