Done by noon

Saturday morning. Air temp 55F. Wind < 10mph. Rode 35 miles. Created a map for the route on google mymaps. Had a hard time with the double-back for the loop, so the mileage is incorrect, but the route is correct. The morning was gorgeous. I saw a lot of wading birds, encountered few cars, one dog, several riders and two joggers. Had some fun with the camera on the way back home.



















I went to the pool with my mom for an hour. The water was surprisingly chilly, but I still waded in. My mom is kind of a babe. (AKA too bad I look like my dad! haha!) (j/k)







Then I rented my textbooks on chegg and saved $292.44 and planted a tree in Lake Tahoe.
Was (obviously) pretty worn out by Saturday night. Still managed to leave the house and go to a house party in South City. Locals + one touring band from Madison. Totally sweet. Loud, fast pop punk. I played the wii for the first time and bought a 7" before I left.
Had a fun time at the party with friends and was glad that i went.
Slept late today and relaxed around the house as air temp is currently 90F and there is a fierce wind. I did some more research for the wind turbine. I have decided on the VAWT. I would like to construct this using recycled materials, namely an old bicycle wheel. I have some more research to do as far as what exact model of magnet motor I want to use, although I'm not adverse to making my own out of magnets and copper coil. Need to consult an electrician about the set up to the grid once I have the charge running and stored into the batteries.
