First of all, on Friday afternoon, I finally got Killin's postal address and sent him a letter =D
We did a lot of stuff around the house, to help us be able to organise all of our boxes and such...
I built this shelf with my dad to put holiday things and other storage on top, and hang the bikes from underneath it:
 |
| ya, we have too many bikes ;) |
My dad also cut this hole in our wall :O No worries, it is for a dog door so the dogs can go out whenever they want to!
 |
| that is the kitchen as seen from the outside of the house ;) |
And I cut the bottom of my portafilter on my espresso machine so I can see what is going on when I pull a shot <-- LOTS of coffee geek talk right there! I'll cut to the chase, here is a video:
Then this morning I had a race! It was the Tour De Scottsdale, and it was different than any other race I had done before. It was open to anyone (no license needed) but it was timed with a chip and everything. Pretty cool! Anyway, there were 1300 riders, and it was a pretty fast race up at the front, but I stayed for quite a while with the fast guys. The race was 70ish miles and the winner finished in around 2h:20min or so, and I got 2h:58 min, so I was pretty happy with that :) There were a BUNCH of crashes though :/ I mean like 4 or 5, and it was pretty much all because of the organizers did stupid things to try to keep us out of the way of traffic! Thankfully, I don't think anyone was seriously hurt though. Here are some pics my mom took of me afterwards with the medal we got for finishing. And you can see my bike rack on my little car ;)
And I hit the Jackpot on Nut butters today!! Three different kinds I have never tried before :p

Woot, another coffee nerd!! I am insanely jeal of your amazing espresso machine - though I must say I love my little stovetop Bialetti...despite the fact I have yet to master amazing crema on mine!!
