New Bike?

So, I've decided to start looking for my next bicycle (as if I could actually buy one right now!). I tossed around all of the latest frame materials; steel, aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber, or maybe bamboo! Yes, I said bamboo! Bamboo bikes feature amazing vibration damping (Even better than Carbon fiber), they weight about 4 pounds, have good stiffness, and are crash tolerant. In fact, bamboo is a lot of tougher than most people realize. If nothing else, it looks cool! I think it's work of art! I posted a picture, or you can come by the garage and see for your self.........in my dreams!

Update Time! (finally)

Sorry for how long it has been since my last update!

Life here in Zimm's world is just screaming past!! I started my 4th year of college. I'm taking 12 credits this semester, so I will be about 3/4 of the way done with my 2 year degree!

I've had the chance to do a little ice fishing. As of last week, the north end of Prior Lake had a good 24+ inches of solid clear ice........and no fish! Word on the streets is that decent size crappies are hitting minnows on Karls lake. If anybody want's to test the theory, I have a portable ice house!!! If nothing else, the "bottle bass" are always biting.

Well, nothing new at the fire department, work still blows, and I am never home (12 credits, remember!) so I am out of things to write about.

Till next time!

What I'm Drinking
