Sunset

Just a couple sunset pictures during/after some beach golfing.

Historical Refuse

Pella is getting some sewer (storm variety I think?) upgrade work under way and we happened to notice that the stuff being replaced is extremely old looking. It's made from three layers of red bricks similar to what was used on the streets. Then there appears to be a mortar skim coat over the outside. The parts we could see looked like they were still structurally sound, except the spot where an excavator bucket opened it up. Looking at what's going in instead, there will be quite a flow capacity increase.

Thursday

Lit-Up

I looked out the window a few minutes ago and noticed that the horizon was blazing away. I sat for a bit to soak it in - home feels a little more like home with a big sky.

Klompen Classic

The Klompen Classic was this evening in Pella. Not a whole lot to write about, mainly because I didn't do anything (almost crashed my bike twice in less than an hour?). This is an annual 5K which always has an incredible turnout considering the community size. It's become the unofficial kick-off to the Tulip Time festival which should really get going tomorrow. 

Corrine turned out a time that she was happy with while I rested for the 8mi. run we have to do this weekend - score! Hopefully the weather will stay nice so we can run at Elk Rock park. It's hard to put in that much distance around Howel Station near the dam without running a lot of pavement.
