My dad and I rescued this little guy from the gutter. We ended up taking him to a great park where he trotted off (after some minor prodding) into some palmetto brush. But beforehand, we got to take him home and let him scare the shit out of the cats.

I finished refurbishing my bike this weekend. It took a day longer than expected, but we got it done. I painted the basket, the bike rack, the fenders. My dad and I took forever to put all the parts back together.

Refurbishing my bike. It used to be a shiny forest green with some ugly brand labels and a lot of dirt and scuff marks. I bought this bike basket for the front, which I'm going to paint a very subtle off-white. I've got a rear bike rack that I'm going to paint the same color, and next weekend I'm getting fenders and a chain guard so I can quit catching my pant leg.

The frame looks so bare without all the parts on it, but without the wheels this is all that we took off.
