Celebrating big wins.

I want to ride my bicycle.
I’ve been wanting a new bike for a while. I love my Trek 1.2 road bike and all. But with all those gears and everything, it’s meant for going fast on paved paths. I’ve been wanting just a single speed bike to just ride around on, especially since we’ve moved into our house. I’ve really been wanting to cruise around Northside, and get to explore our new neighborhood more. I couldn’t think of a better way to do that than from atop a bike. I’ve been looking at a lot, A LOT of bikes. I just wanted something stylish and reliable that wasn’t going to break the bank. I finally decided to order a Harper SS by Critical Cycles. I went with the Harper because it looked really stylish for the price point, and it has dual brakes, front and back. And unlike my Trek, it has riser handlebars that encourage a relaxed, upright riding position. When I got home from work today, it was waiting for me on our front porch…
I managed to get it out of the box…
That was the most difficult part of the assembly…
And about fifteen or so minutes later, I had a brand new bike…
I love the combination of the light blue frame with the white accents and the brown saddle and grips. I took it for a spin around the block, and it rides like a dream. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. It compliments Genifer’s Breezer really nicely without being too matchy-matchy…
I can’t wait to get them out on the road in Northside this weekend. I know we’ll definitely be riding them over check out to Bewilderfest at Urban Artifact Sunday evening. Hopefully, we be able to ride to check out Cincy Summer Streets in Northside as well. Or maybe a brunch. All I know is I’m really excited for us to go ride bikes around our new neighborhood. 🙂

FC Cincinnati versus Rochester Rhinos.
FC Cincinnati played Rochester Rhinos to a 1-1 draw in front of 14,157. It was the 13th straight USL match with over 10,000 fans for FC Cincinnati. 🙂

We saw John Travolta.
John Travolta is in Cincinnati shooting a new movie about John Gotti. When we were waiting for the bus to go to the FC Cincinnati match, we noticed that Hamilton Avenue was closed south of Pullan in Northside…
We realized it was a movie set. So we stood and watched while we waited for the bus. And I got a couple of the blurriest photos of John Travolta from distance…
He got of a car, walked up to the house, up the steps, inside the house, emerged seconds later carrying a bag and got back in the car. They did the scene twice. And then John Travolta hopped into a waiting white Jaguar, and was whisked away. Not something you see everyday. Genifer said she heard that there have been sixteen movies filmed in and around Cincinnati so far this year. And that’s pretty cool. 🙂

South Haven.
We spent a wonderful, long weekend in South Haven with my family…
We have so much fun getting together with everyone to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. I really wish could all get together more often. But it’s so special when we’re all in the same place at the same time. 🙂
I took a bunch of photos over the long weekend. And I even tried a few short videos with my new Polaroid Cube. I took one of the waves in South Haven’s Black River, one of a sunset over Lake Michigan, one of the waves crashing along the shore of Lake Michigan and one of the fun we had at Lake Michigan’s South Beach.

Urban Artifact.
After dropping off Oscar at Genifer’s mom’s house, we stopped at Urban Artifact on the way home to get a couple of growlers to take with us to Michigan…
We got a taster to decide which flavors to get in our growlers…
There was an pretty awesome Elvis impersonator…
Did you know there’s live music every night of the week at Urban Artifact?
We got a growler of Keypunch key lime gose, The Gadget raspberry & blackberry sour ale and a howler of Keypunch infused with jalapeño and lime…
We love Urban Artifact. It’s our favorite Cincinnati brewery. And it’s just right around the corner from us. 🙂

Window washers in peril.
When I was walking back to work from lunch, I couldn’t help but notice that a whole bunch of fire trucks had Fifth Street blocked off between Vine and Walnut…
Apparently, some window washers got themselves into a bit of a pickle…
Thankfully, everyone was okay. The window washers managed to get themselves to safety even before the fire brigade arrived on the scene. And then they managed to get their window washing platform righted…
YIKES! That’s a job I would not want. I don’t care home much it payed. No, thank you.
🙂
