I Learned to Weld!

This term I am taking Design II, which focuses on 3D graphic elements.  For my most recent project, I needed to incorporate railroad tracks.  The only way to do so that was cost-effective (i.e. not buying model railroad tracks) was for me to bend the rod and learn to weld so I could put it together myself.

I Tri’d And Made A New Friend

As part of my effort to become more fit, I have joined Anytime Fitness in LaGrande, in addition to starting other activities on my own.  Part of my membership involved meeting with a trainer (Summer), and she suggested I enter the ‘I Tri’d Triathlon’ in Baker City as a jumping off point.  It was a short course, so I thought it sounded like a good idea.  I may  have been rethinking the whole “good idea” opinion halfway through the race.  :-)

The triathlon was last Saturday.  I completed the swimming and bike portions of the race, but wasn’t able to do the run.  I unexpectedly had a tooth extracted the Thursday before, and by the time I was done with the bike ride, my mouth was done and over with.  At first I was pretty disappointed I didn’t finish, but after thinking about it I am thrilled that I was able to do it at all.  I have been exercising regularly for just under a month.

In each wave. participants shared swimming lanes.  I got to share lanes with Mary.  She is a sweet little girl (I think she’s about 10-11), and I am so glad I met her.

Walking around Portland Friday was so gorgeous! I loved the reflection of the clouds on this building.
