the blog's not dead, it's got odds and ends

Here are some (perhaps) blog-worthy pictures from the last few months.

 Sammy hiding under an end table.

Our apartment:
 

 

 

 

Best feature: pantry.

 

 

 

Because I am so cheap, here's an example of what it looks like when I retire a piece of gear: an utterly spent pair of bike shoes.
The bottom-left thread of the dogbone insert is stripped out and the screw got lost. On the other side, the dogbone is all warped out so the screws aren't parallel, and some of the threads are stripped there, too.

 

Shredded the right shoe open on the big ring of my old road bike.

 

 The tread blocks are worn down to nubs, no rubber left.

Christmastime: so many cookies.

So many cookies!
