Galveston Beach
Picasa Photo Gallery
Today I took a day off work and headed to Galveston Island. The weather was nice, mostly cloudy, but that kept the heat down. Plenty of pics were taken, but these were my favorite. Maybe I liked the fact that in these pictures it looks like we were the only ones on the island . . .
DT Swiss XR 1450
Picasa Photo Gallery
Well I got my DT Swiss XR 1450 wheelset in today and got to take a look. The front wheel came with 15mm thru axle, and 5mm QR and 10mm Thru Bolt for the rear. The 10mm will make the rear a bit stiffer, but I can’t really mount the front wheel since it is 15mm only, and all I have are 5mm QR on my forks. I sent DT Swiss an email to ask about a conversion kit (since it came with a rear conversion to do QR and TB), but was told that the front is 15mm only and there is nothing I can do.
Bummed as I they were advertised as having both options for the front, and I even asked about it before buying 
This picture shows the front wheel with 15mm front (100mm wheel) and both rear skewers (135mm). The thin one is the QR and the thicker one is the 10mm TB
Here are the adapters to use the QR in the rear, the bag is for the 10mm TB, so they were put on the wheel
Both wheels, look great, nice bags, and in new condition. One thing I like about the bags is that they are padded. I have a pair of Bontrager wheel bags, and they are just nylon, no padding, except a small patch at the hubs. I will get some better pictures up in the next day or so.

Jerkey, Fireworks, and Fruit
Picasa Photo Gallery
After ditching Courtney and Chase after breakfast, I headed up to Buc-ees and Junior’s Smokehouse to get some Beef and Turkey Jerkey. Once that was accomplished, located a nice little fireworks stand, then picked up some fresh side of the highway fruit for Courtney’s fruit salad. Great success!
Breakfast At 59 Diner

This morning we got up and headed out to the 59 Diner on 249 and had some good pancakes for breakfast. Courtney had her usual . . . coffee. I am never far from my camera and was able to take some cute pics of mom and son together.
