256|365 May 15, 2012 Had planned on doing the Cherohala Skyway today, but turned out the rain wanted to stay in it’s part of the mountains rather than the Dragon. So we rode the Dragon all day until we were

Vlog # 4 – Bikini VS Bra, with illustration!

In my 4th vlog I decide to talk about a pet peeve of mine – that the bikini is more acceptable than the bra. Yes, I wear a sports bra, bikini, and underwear bra.

251|365 May 10, 2012 Getting back to working out more. This ab roller is torture, but it does produce good results. Worked on some jobs and continued to get ready for the Dragon trip that we are leaving for tomorrow.

240|365

240|365 April 29, 2012 It amazes me how some people can let their stuff get so dirty. Took us nearly all day to scour the grease and grime off of our SVs. Oh, and S100 is some awesome stuff.
