Klotter Farms came today to lay down the gravel bed for the shed which will be delivered on Sept 7th. The guy on the Bobcat was amazing. They did a great job!

We had a nice time showing our two Brazilian visitors, how lovely the Glastonbury area is :-) A backyard hike, a grand tour of many nearby beautiful nature and history spots, a backyard BBQ and finally a quick tour of the farms and the winery topped of by a stop at Hops On The Hill!

Plantsville, CT
We we looking to buy a fireplace insert for my basement/studio fireplace and Dean's Stove and Spa in Plantsville/Southington was highly recommended.
Dean's Stove and Spa
What a neat place! This was a former factory back in the 1800s and the railroad ran right by it...

Farmington Rail Trail
I plan on riding this at some point it goes south all the way to New Haven! Another section just a bit north goes all the way to Springfield, MA!

Manchester Car Show
This street festival caught me off guard. I was just planning on riding the Charter Oak Greenway after a couple of morning rides and simply wanted a slice of pizza from a restaurant downtown.
Nevertheless, after parking at the Charter Oak Park, I rode over to sniff around and grab my slice! :-)

| This vegan protester gave me a chuckle! |
 |
| 1924! |
Well the cops politely asked me to leave (rightly so as folks were worried about bicyclists scratching the cars...), so I grabbed a slice and rode back on a side road...
Next, the Charter Oak Greenway ride >
