Todd raced here as well, unfortunately crashed out with 2 laps to go. The last pic below shows the outcome of that.
The rest of my Bastion Square Grand Prix pictures are here.
Action photography is hard. Everything is happening so quickly that you really need to visualize what is going to happen, plan for that, then be lucky enough to trip the shutter at the exact right time to capture what you had intended. It also helps to have the correct settings on the camera too. I messed up some of my flash photography because I was in the right mode, just the wrong setting.
Below are my favorite shots from the Cops for Cancer Criterium. The rest of my shots from this race are here.
We got home from work later than normal, and I started dinner prep later than normal. Dinner was served at 6:45 which is late for us. As I was serving it, I wondered what went through my mind when choosing this recipe.
It didn’t work out for Sox either. Her first bite almost made her puke. I had a bite, then got to the tomatoes (yeuck, I really dislike cooked tomatoes). Sprout ate other foods and wasn’t affected by this dish. He had rice, corn, cucumber, avocado, and milk. Sox and I each ate our rice and salad, but couldn’t stomach the fish.
I was really frustrated with this. I really don’t know what I was thinking and I wasted a lot of time, and I wasted a lot of food. Sox ended up running out to grab some other food while I got Sprout ready for bed.
I’m still not 100% satisfied with my meal, but it will have to do.
Suggestion for you: Have a setting somewhere so that I can verify that I know the definition of phishing. I don’t need to be told the definition every time I report an email as a phishing message. I only report them when they truly are phishing messages, meaning I have probably marked 30 messages in the whole time I have had a gmail account. It really is a pain.
Thanks

Happy Birthday Yoshi! You are 9 today, and still don’t show it. Everyone we meet out in the parks is surprised to learn how old you are.
Such a spry guy you are. We’ve been lucky enough to have you in our lives for 6 years. Here’s hoping for many, many more.
Yes it is real. That is the best damn mullet I have ever seen. I spotted this guy at the Sidney Market a few weeks ago.
If I didn’t know better I would say it is Fall. The weather is chilly in the morning, hot during the day, and warm in the evening. Leaves are starting to fall from the trees. I’m not ready for a change in seasons just yet. I still want my summer.
At the end of the walk we checked out the booths and hung out for a bit.
When we were done at the walkathon we headed to a playground so the boys could burn off some steam, then Sox, Sprout and I had a wonderful lunch at the Beacon Drive in. Burger and Fries for me, and a Toasty Club Sandwich for Sox. Sprout enjoyed a few fries too.
I’ve looked forward to times like that for quite a while. Simple, plain family fun. Can’t wait for the next one!
I don’t know what to do with this fish. I don’t want him any more since he is so aggressive. Any time I get more Tiger Barbs this guy chases them relentlessly until they die from exhaustion. Grr.
Before I went away on vacation the snail died too. I noticed it hadn’t moved in quite a few days, and when I bumped him with the net, the snails covering fell off and the shell was empty. Very weird. The snail had completely dissolved.
So, what to do with the tank? I want to restock the fish, but I’m afraid the barb will just end up killing them. Yesterday I headed out to Petsmart to get a few things and to get some advice. The lady there suggested that I give the barb away using UsedVictoria. Then get more fish once it is gone. I think I will give that a shot.
Once that fish is out of the way I can go on with stocking the tank with new and different fish.
