Yakiniku must be one of the top meals for meat-eaters. Grilling right at the table is such a treat! In addition to the beef, pork belly, and sausage, we had mozzarella cheese, haloumi cheese, onion, kimchee, salad, and Sigeumchi-namul (spinach). So yummy!

“Loaded Up” Houston, 2021

This afternoon I drove down to Houston to help Bay move back home for the summer. Everything fit nicely in the back of my Subaru, and we had plenty of room to accommodate a special delivery of Mochinuts. 😂 They were delicious!

Out near Bastrop, we got to see a car on fire. It looked intense! A fire truck had just arrived on-scene and the car didn’t appear to be involved in an accident so that’s good news.

Anyways, it’s good to have my son back home and catch up a bit. I missed him! 🥰

I hope you had a good day! またね~

We had another stormy day today but the sky lightened up just after sunset so Mango and I went to the nearby park to see if there were any interesting clouds. They were pretty good, in my opinion!

We only went out for a few minutes to take the photos because it was still sprinkling a little bit and there was thunder rumbling as well so I thought it best not to be out on the bicycle too long. 😁

Brief Storm

“Mammatus Clouds” Cedar Park, 2021

A storm rolled though the area this afternoon, with a severe weather watch in effect for a couple of hours. We had heavy rain, no hail, and an amazing showing by the storm clouds! These photos are highly stylized in Adobe Lightroom, but I really like them. They look like the undersides of ocean waves, don’t they?

“Bianchi” Cedar Park, 2021

Some of you more perceptive readers might have noticed that not only did I bring my Peugeot bicycle home, but I also took my brother’s old Bianchi mountain bike. It’s in better condition than the Peugeot was, so it just needs some new cables and will be ready to go.

Did you know that Bianchi is the oldest bicycle brand in the world? I didn’t know that before today. At any rate, this bicycle is from around 1990 and is a type of bicycle that is popular right now: vintage mountain bikes. I guess people like the steel frames, rigid forks, and old geometry. I’d like to customize it a bit with some new tires, a new saddle and maybe a front rack. We’ll see!
