We are saddened today to hear of the death of some teen siblings that was killed in a car accident late yesterday afternoon.  The 17 year old boy died at the scene while his 14 year old sister died at the hospital.  They both lived with their father not far from here.  Their mother lived in Mississippi.  I can’t and don’t want to imagine what the parents are going through right now.  What I’ve been told they don’t have the money to bury for a proper funeral so they’re asking for any help they can get.  A trust fund has been set up to help the parents.

On a lighter note; With the threat of rain I decided not to risk getting wet half way through my ride.
A little over two miles in 45 minutes on the treadmill.  Have I mentioned lately how much I hate that treadmill?

I’ts rained just about all day today.  In fact, there’s a chance of rain all week this week with storms moving in on Friday.  Because of the rain, I got on the treadmill and did 2 miles this evening.  I’d rather have been on my bike.  In less than 2 weeks I have a 46 mile ride down in Marion Alabama and I’m not ready.  I believe that if the ride was today I could do it, it would be rough but I could do it.

Have a safe week everyone!!

Woke up sore this morning from hiking in the woods all day yesterday taking pictures.  It was worth every ache and pain.  I’ve been editing for most of the day and I’m not even half way through all the images.  Some time during the shoot my camera decided to start shooting in Aperture priority mode.  When I shoot in this mode I’m usually using the bracket mode so that meant that every picture was either 2 steps under exposed and 2 steps over exposed.  So every picture has to be edited.

The picture above is part of the creek that I followed for over a mile.  As you can tell it’s really nice out there.  If you are ever in the Atlanta Georgia area it would be worth a couple of hours of your time to at least hike down to the old textile mill.  Sweetwater Creek State Park, remember the name.

Happy Easter Everyone!!

This is the second time to post this.  The first time didn’t post for some reason.  Oh well.  Got a photo shoot tomorrow in Atlanta Ga at 1pm.  I’m planning on getting there at 9 am Georgia time to scope the place out and to take some pictures before it get’s too crowded.

My app screwed my mileage up today.  I biked over 21 miles today but my app messed up where I stopped and took a photo and it only logged a little over 17 miles.  I’ve logged over 2,000 miles with this app and this is the first time that this has done this.

Being that Friday is Good Friday I have the day off.  I’m really looking forward to a day off.  I’m hoping to get some major riding in being that I will be taking a day trip to Atlanta on Saturday and won’t be able to get a ride in.  It really depends on the weather.  I got a little more than 15 miles in today but it was forecasted to rain. Next week it’s supposed to rain all week.  Bummer.

I had my GOPro attached to my bicycle tonight and got some cool video.  I’m hoping to post some of it within the next day or two.  It was light out when I left but it got dark on my pretty quick and you can tell it on the video.

Well, for me that is.  Anytime I get through with a workout and my clothes feel as though I just took a dip in the pool with them on then I call that a good workout.  I did 45 minutes on the treadmill at a little over 3 mph.  I know by reading some of the blogs that I follow that this isn’t nothing but for an overweight old man I feel that it is.  It’s a start and tomorrow if it’s nice out I’ll get about 15 miles on my bicycle.  As predicted yesterday we’ve had some pretty rough storms come through here this evening.

Good Friday is this week so I have a four day week ahead.  I’m excited but at the same time I’m apprehensive too.  Over half the department will be off so it’s going to be a very busy four days.

I got over twenty miles in today.  Yesterday was just too cold for me to ride as I don’t own any cold weather riding gear.  The temp climbed to around 60 degrees this afternoon so I decided to see if I could get a ride in.  I have an adapter to fit a GoPro on my handlebar but I couldn’t find it.  I hoping to mount my GoPro and take a short vid of the route that I take to show everyone.

I missed a day.  I’m somewhat upset with myself for missing a day but what can I say.  I’m not perfect and it was bound to happen.  I guess I was so tired last night that I completely forgot to post.

I got a chance to back to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens today and get some new material.  I know everyone should be happy with that.  Right now it’s more flowers and arch ways but at least it’s something new.  Next Saturday I’ll be shooting a young lady near Atlanta Ga. so I’ll have more new material to share.

I’m so glad Spring has finally arrived.  Today was a little on the cool side but is expected to warm back up tomorrow afternoon.  I do not like cold weather.  I don’t like it extremly hot either but I’ll take it over cold any day.

Have a Happy Sunday.

With rain on Sunday, errands on Monday and a meeting late this afternoon  I just haven’t had time to get back on my bicycle.  I was able to get on my treadmill for about thirty minutes this evening.   Tomorrow looks promising although the darkness will sneak up on me and I will not get my full 20 miles in.  I’ll be lucky to get about thirteen before it gets too dark to see my way home.

No word on any of the stuff that was taken while he was at home for spring break.  He did receive a phone call from the detective but was not able to get back in touch with him to find out what he wanted.  My son is very upset over this.  He said that he gets a sick feeling in his gut everytime he goes into his room.  The good news is that he will not have to pay for the repairs to the door.  It seems that it’s the apartment’s place to have it repaired at their expense.  That’s a relief.  We’re already going to have to replace everything that was stolen and we didn’t need any extra expense.

Sorry for not posting any new stuff lately.  Just haven’t been anywhere to take any pictures.  I’m planning on getting out this weekend and shooting some.  There is an air show this weekend.  Maybe I’ll go there.  We shall see.

I had a good week with my son home from college.  However, it’s when he left and returned back to his apartment and found that that someone had broken in. that’s what’s disappointing.  He was home the entire week so there’s no telling when the thieves broke in.  They stole his IPod, his camera, notebook and his tablet.  He has no renters insurance and will more than likely never see his stuff again.  They did a number on the door as well.  The apartment complex came and replaced the door and repaired all the other damage but what he and I are feeling can not be repaired as easily.  He was told today that the apartments will be hiring a security agency to patrol the area but I think it’s too little too late.
