Where: The Glass House

I forgive Courtney Taylor-Taylor for looking bored out of his skull when he first took the stage (and during most of the first song) because I’m a sucker that’ll forgive anyone* as long as he plays “The Legend of the Last of the Outlaw Truckers.”

More from the House Site
This past weekend, we continued with our now traditional Sunday trip to the home site. This time, Sean’s dad, Steve, joined us. (As always, Sean did a much better job writing about the trip at his blog.)
Always wear a helmet, kids! Talk to Sean about the perils of getting hit by a car while on your bike if you need convincing.
Since the house is only 7.25 miles away – we decided to ride our bikes there along the San Diego Creek Trail, look at the house, ride to lunch and then ride home.
It was a perfect day for riding – a little overcast and a little chilly. The first few miles of our ride took us through Back Bay. I’m going to miss being so close to this place – great bike paths and beautiful scenery. But, there are some great trails near the new house, so we’ll still be able to ride on weekends.
The ride hit a few snags along the way. The first, being that our fearless leader decided to take us on the extra long route to the new house. Since I’m trying to curb my backseat driving, I tried to bite my tongue as long as I could and not start a new habit of being a backseat bicyclist. Finally, after reaching the entrance to the community after having gone on a 3 mile detour, Steve’s bicycle chain snapped right off. Lesson learned on this trip: bring a repair kit with you. Luckily, we weren’t that far from the home site so we walked the last quarter mile. (Big shout out to our friends, and new neighbors!, J. & A. who gave Steve a ride to our place so he could pick up his car (w/ bike rack) so we could get home later that day.
We now have windows! Seriously, this is exciting to me because up until this point I haven't been able to see any of the progress being made on the house. This is the first real "cool! this is shaping up to be an actual house" moment for me.
And this would be the second. We now have a tub in the guest room bathroom. Wasn't planning on going for an electric blue theme in the guest room - but I can make it work. :-)
That's all for now.
