After checking out multiple bikes at the bike shops, pawn shops, and Craigslist, and trying out bikes that were either too small, too expensive or in a serious state of disrepair, I finally found the bike for me. It's a Specialized FSR XC, fully suspended with 4" of float and only about 60 miles on it. It came will all kinds of extras that I would have spent a small fortune on if bought new. I got the whole package for less than the price of the Trek 6000 hard-tail that I had my eye on at the Spoke Shop. Not bad!
Since Sarah had the camera out, she took a few shots of the new swing set. I spent the last month building this monstrosity for the kids. I hope they appreciate it. I didn't really take a full month to build, it took a full month to get all the right parts from the manufacturer. However, I did leave off a crucial step in the instructions, adhering the manufacturer's name plate to the swing arm. Not after the mess they made for me.
