Recap of 2014 and the Future

2014 has been a crazy year. It has most definitely had its ups and downs. This year on the blog we visited 29 different places and rode 146 separate times, for a total of 1,239 miles on the bicycle. We learned a ton about local history. We've dealt with suicide and have found comic relief in child 911 callers. We lost a family pet, but delivered 2 babies. We went to the Lorain County Fair for a rip roarin' good time and visited Oktoberfest for beer and Wiener Dog Races. We had ice dumped on our heads and attended a blast of a wedding. We became motorized with Betty and Luna and tried out kayaking for the first time.

[EXPLORE] Action Cam Low Light Test

I wanted to test the Action Cam in a low light setting. Who better to demonstrate this then our favorite Daschund....

[EXPLORE] Testing the Action Cam

This is a test, this is only a test. Remain calm, click on the little gear in the bottom right corner of the video box, and set it to 1080p/60fps playback mode...

[EXPLORE] Now with Video!

Thanks to my wonderful sister Teresa, I will be back this year with pictures and now...wait for it....video! For Christmas she gave me a new Sony Action Cam with the bike mount. It also came with helmet mounts, so I could also use it on the motorcycle.

Ice Skating, Lights, and Cannoli

After working for 22 days straight I decided to finally take my 3 day weekend and not accept any overtime. It was a good choice.

My wife and I decided to take a trip to the East side of Cleveland to check out some Christmas time activities. Our first top was to the Wade Oval ice skating rink in Cleveland Heights.

The Story of a Dog

Why do we have dogs as pets when they cause so much heartbreak? They are only with us for a short period of time and then they are ripped away, sometimes before they should be. They cannot tell you they are sick, they cannot explain to you what is wrong, and they cannot tell you goodbye.

When adopting a dog you know that they will be gone before you and yet we still do it anyway.
