Sunday: After a very rainy and dreary arrival Saturday afternoon Sunday I woke up to gorgeous sunshine and incredible views from the airbnb. Being a carriage house (living space above the garage) a couple miles out of town leads to some amazing views out of some large windows. Good weather and a new location meant that it was time to check out the borough (nothing in PA is a town). Ebensburg has a Read on...
The backstreets reveal some hidden treasures of buildings. Luckily Luxembourg didnt get dismantled too much in WW2.
Were just treading water at the moment. Tim went in to work today. No, seriously, he did, and Sue and I were left to amuse ourselves.
My most important, and task of the day was to mail a license to Switzerland, so a friend of Tims could continue to drive.
The list of handyman chor Read on...
Couldnt sleep again last night . It was 25 degrees at 11 pm . In a house I probably would have opened the windows . In a bungalow not a good idea . I even thought of going out and sleeping in Gabby . It might have been cooler in her with her skylights open. Sion did not sleep well either - the mention of Ashover Rock last night set him off . The last things anyone should do is mention a plan to a Read on...
Like everyone, all major trips have been put on hold due to Covid. But we decided to take a car camping/road trip to explore some of the areas nearby. And we confirmed what we had heard.

Most everyone were wea Read on...

Much like other sports, this years Tour de France has been postponed from June to August 29, 2020, through September 20. And needless to say, it is the premier cycling event of the year, eclipsing even Olympic year cycling events. And for many years, I had absolutely zero interest in the race, due to doping and various forms of cheating. Now that I am a cyclist, and the sport is a bit cleaner, I Read on...
Here is a brief collection of insights I have found about my favorite sparkling wines. Regarding drying your champagne glasses: As a matter of fact, in order to maximize you Champagnes effervescence, leaving a tiny bit of lint in your glass is paramount. As we all know, popping a Champagne cork reduces the tremendous pressure maintained in the thick bottle and releases the carbon dioxide dissolved Read on...
On our way to this campground Nate stopped off at a few parts stores to see what the stock was for 16 spark plugs since the closest part store to the campground was 30 minutes. Of course, none of them in the area had 16 spark plugs in stock so we ordered them. Due to the distance from the campground, we decided it would be best to change them by the auto store just in case something went wrong. Su Read on...
