Coast to Coast in 2007

I have setup a new Blog to chronicle my cross country bicycle trip I have planned for June 15th through August 18th of this year. I invite you to visit this site coasttocoastin2007 from time to time to check on my progress.

Cold Ride up Donner Summit

Cold Ride up Donner Summit, originally uploaded by abavetta.

Did a training ride up Donner Summit on Tuesday (4/17/07). It was cold (about 45 deg F) and windy. Stopped just short of the summit to avoid the potential of being blown off the road.

Northstar pre Opening 2006

I took a hike up to mid mountain to move my things into the ski school locker room on November 19th. Looks pretty barren of snow

DirecTV antenna upgrades

Oldest 2 LNB Antenna attached to a tree


Old 3 LNB HDR antenna



Just completed installation of 5 LNB AT9 antenna with HDR local channels. Heater on dish surface will hopefully keep the antenna surface free of snow and ice buildup.


View with cover on dish surface. Hopefully cover will protect surface of dish and heater element from being blasted by county snow blower.


Note Lexan (Polycarbonate) shield I fabricated and mounted to a snow pole to shield the feed assembly from snow thrown by the county snowblower
