Hi folks,
It’s comment and grade season which means I’m ridiculously busy. But I want to satisfy your knowledge so I looked up some science limericks. Enjoy!
The compounds of sodium are great,
If you can tell the chloride from chlorate.
The one makes fried chips,
Taste good on your lips,
The other clears weeds from your gate.
It’s a metal, Ca, you’ll agree.
With the ion that’s called CO3,
It makes chalk, and moreover,
The White Cliffs of Dover!
Without it they’d fall in the sea.
Aluminum’s silvery gray,
Foiling many a spill every day.
By the Aussies it’s said
Al-yoo-MIN-yum instead.
And that’s just about Al I can say.
Saturday riding in Topanga.
Our weekly ride. This week we rode to the old Nike Missile base.
Riding on a Saturday in Topanga
A new Surly Disc Trucker….
Chris will be doing lots on his new Surly Disc Trucker. He wanted a bike to go on short and long trips and find adventure. The Surly Disc Trucker shouted out and here he is. And, special hello to our guest Outpost holder’s Errin and Serbrina. Full circle. (The first time we had the sign in a photo was when Errin picked up a Salsa Mukluk he had won and we shamelessly included the sign. The rest, as they say, is history.
KITSBOW Campout…..Marin County…..
We ventured up to Point Reyes to camp with the folks from Kitsbow. A night of fun. We camped, made some s’mores without having to cook and generally had a terrific evening. And, the Icon shirt was perfect.
Gravel Jesus…..Habanero Mustard…..
Our own mustard.
A couple new shirts arrived….
Late night Surly Disc Trucker……
Craig has some great adventures in the works. First, a road trip with bicycle excursions as far as Portland, and then adventures from SoCal when he is in the area. Already, UnPredict Your Wednesday is planned to include him. And, note the time of day this photo was take. Ahem. 10:30 at night to get someone on a bike and now everyone is headed out on bike rides tomorrow. Excellent.
