An unexpected Wednesday ramble, or rediscovering the Heavy Duti

Wednesday January 27 was my only true day off this week. I had no ambitious plans, as I wanted to do some stuff around the house. Also, a bit too much whisky the night before left me a bit too little energy. But I wanted to at least a short bike ride, as the day...

Hints of spring

I've lived long enough away from a snowy climate (almost 16 years!) that I can appreciate a little snow here in the winter. But there's a definite window of appreciation, basically December into January. Once January winds down and spring is starting to make itself aware, I'm less inclined to dig a snowfall. Thankfully once...

A Wednesday Ramble, 20 January 2016

Tuesday and Wednesday were my first two days in a row off since the new year! So obviously I needed to do something resembling an adventure. Tuesday was rain all day, but Wednesday was dry for most of the day. So Wednesday it would be. But what kind of adventure? Originally I was hoping to...

Between the showers

Here at the UAL HQ we've been eagerly awaiting El Nino. While El Nino typically means a wet California, it's supposed to mean a drier Northwest. Supposed to. Oh sure, January is shaping up to be drier than December. But that's not hard, as December was the wettest on record, a whopping 13 plus inches,...

Wet ride, dry ride, or my Wednesday ramble

On Wednesday January 13 I had a dentist appointment in Garden Home, a neighborhood in deep SW Portland. And it was raining. It's a thirteen mile ride, one way, from my house. I could have taken the bus, but it would be longer than the bike ride, so I gritted teeth, suited up in raingear,...

For reals: The final sale on SoTS memberships before the price TRULY goes up!

Society Of Three Speeds

Hello friends. Yes, you may have hemmed and you may have hawed about purchasing a Society of Three Speeds membership in the three years of the Society’s existence. And the time for hemming and hawing is over, as not only is the price of memberships increasing to $15 in the US (price with shipping included), but because I love you all, I am discounting the existing memberships!

Yes, until 11:59 PM Pacific Time on Sunday January 31, 2016, the price for memberships will only be $7 in the US, $11 rest of world! I really want to get rid of the old stock of stuff so I can make some new and cool things for the membership kit. So the time to get the “old” kit is now! And please remember, this is while quantities still last. If they run out before the first, they run out!

And thank you…

Important info about postcards and SoTS

Society Of Three Speeds

Hello, members! Happy New Year!

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been sending out a postcard crafted by myself for upcoming Society of Three Speeds events in 2015. Some of you may have gotten one! I like making art and creating flyers, and making postcards for upcoming events is fun.

It also costs money.

On average, I spend about $50 for each mailing. This price is for both the printing and postage. That’s a bit of change! When I first set up the prices for membership to Society of Three Speeds, I didn’t factor this into the price, because I didn’t know if I was going to be doing postcards or not. So that money basically comes out of my pocket.

I’ll be doing more postcards in 2016, and plan on the first Three Speed Ride to happen in March or April. For the next mailing, I’ll be…
