Lately...

Here is what has been going on around here…in the ever popular list form.

  • The president of Chile came for lunch yesterday along with a host of people, so we were busy all day serving, doing dishes, and bustling around. Stay tuned for a picture of us with the pres.
  • Lots of horse riding and scouting of new trails for horses. This basically amounts to a lot of bush whacking, swamp dodging, and stumbling ahead of a horse (leading it, not riding) hoping he won’t stumble and run you over.
  • Listening and singing along to the Avett Brothers. Check them out, they rock!
  • Daydreaming about learning the banjo or mandolin. (see previous).
  • Daydreaming about bikes back home and working in a real shop again (Paradise Creek Bikes here I come).
  • Looking for lost golf balls in the long grass of the 3 hole practice course out front.
  • Daydreaming about Moscow…ah yes, Moscow.
  • A bit of trekking.
  • Planning of future travels around Chile to Valle Cochamo and Torres del Paine.

I think we should open our own bike shop. We could have some sort of cool name for it like "O.B.'s bikes and boards." O and B for Ohlen Brothers.'

Thats funny. I have been thinking and scheeming about the exact thing for the past few months!

O. B.'s Bikes and Boards is a good name.

No shit? I've been scheming on that for a good little while too? Hmmm? That must be more than a coincidence.
