Sitting in Traffic

From the November issue of Sitting in Traffic:
Sitting in Traffic: So, Kennett, what was it like sitting in traffic on your commute home this evening?
Kennett Peterson: Well, it was pretty sweet.  At one point I think we went about 200 feet in five, six minutes.  That was the highlight I guess.  I think that’s when [...]

Hagens Berman

This weekend was the meet and greet for the 2010 HB elite team.  I got a ride up with Sean on Friday and we stayed at his friend’s house for the next couple nights.  She owns horses and trains them how to slide, spin, and run backwards in competitions.  Here’s a link to what I’m [...]

At altitude

First rule of altitude tent: No farting
Second rule of altitude tent: NO FARTING.
Third rule: If someone taps out or goes limp, you must wake yourself up and get out before you suffocate.
Fourth rule: Only one person in the altitude tent at any time.  Unless you get really lucky and somehow get an “OK, sure” [...]

The end is near for Kennettron 5000

Top searches for the blog today were :  seabiscuit,  zorro,  fabian cancellara,  snot,  chicken eating baby.
Speaking of chickens, I’m going to build a chicken coup for our backyard and supply said coup with baby chickens that I will one day enjoy eating.  Amazing that somebody in the past knew that the future me was going [...]

Present (well, past now) and future things (still future)

The coring ended on Monday and me and  Kendra (the head archaeologist) will continue core logging like we were the week before last week.  But it only lasts until Friday.  It isn’t certain yet, but I’ll either be helping her on a separate dig project (also for the Columbia River Crossing) or I’ll be starting [...]

Updated food page

Check out the “food” page at the top. I just re-did it and included some good stuff that you may find interesting.

Got spat on today

While riding to Vancouver to “the facility” where I cut open cores and stuff, I got spat on by a homeless woman. She was walking towards me on the sidewalk as I rode in the street. I usually give a half smile to the homeless if they make eye contact with me while [...]

Ghost Surfers

A few weeks ago, two young chaps had a laugh at the expense of some teenagers.  The night started out like many others.  The birds stopped chirping and returned to their nests or favorite places to perch, the sun set in the north, the fragmented moon began to shine, and the stars stayed hidden due [...]

Drilling

These past two weeks have been full of drilling.  ”What am I doing drilling?” you may ask.  Well my answer is this:
I was hired by an archaeology company to do grunt work for a project they were hired for.  It’s for the CRC (Columbia River Crossing) project–the new I-5 bridge that’s going across the Columbia [...]

Rapha Gentlemen’s Race. Neskowin to Portland.

Last week I did the Rapha race/ride from Neskowin to Portland. It was a 137-mile team time trial; an unofficial race since there was no traffic control or referee. There were two checkpoints that we had to make and the race ended at some bar in Portland.
Jim won a Kink radio contest (or [...]
