"So you want to buy a house? But you're only 22."

Raine and I are buying our first house, here in Houston. I don't mean it's to be our first house in Houston, as in there will be more in Houston, as in we'll be here for many many years; I just mean that it's our first house, and it's in Houston. The house is being built now, and it's been really cool to see it being built. It's a three bedroom, two bath, two car garage(make that one car and a bunch of bicycles and motorcycles!). The latest additions are cabinets and the inside is painted. Should be another month, or maybe a little longer. Here's some pictures.

"Just let me explain......"

So this is my first "blog" post. Ever. I used to be against blogging, I thought it was stupid and a waste of time. But now, being away from my family and so many old friends, I find myself looking for a way to keep in touch. This seems like it could be useful, so I'll give it a try. Even if nobody reads it, maybe I'll feel better. I guess people were against gasoline engines way back in the day, but they eventually came around, too. But now, people are against them again. Maybe one day I'll be against blogs again. Anyways.
So the address of my blog: bikerpilot. Two of my favorite things in the world: bikes and airplanes. Maybe later I'll expand on where my love for bikes and airplanes came from. But for now, I'll just say that I'm racing mountain bikes and having a blast at it, although getting my butt handed to me so far. The pilot part, I'm a licensed Private Pilot. I fly entirely for fun, and for my own sanity. There's no greater thrill than piloting an airplane. I'll try to explain it sometime, though I'm sure words will fall far short.
So if you're still reading, thanks for stopping by. Come back, as I'll try to keep the blog current with what's going on with my racing, any flying I get to do, and the progress of our house.

Until I find a witty yet fitting ending to attach to all my posts, this will have to do.
