Mark Frye and Tom Darby are taking a bike ride to raise funds to help fight cancer.
All of us know someone-a family member, friend, classmate, co-worker, neighbor or community member that has been affected by cancer either as a survivor or as someone who lost their battle with this disease. Tom and Mark are dedicating their ride and fundraising effort to family members, friends and classmates who have been victims of cancer. The hope is that more funding equals more survivors and more prevention. No gift is too small, every dollar counts toward finding a cure.

Enjoy my vision and adventures as I discover new bike trails and capture moments riding with whatever camera I may have with me. I love riding alone or with a good friend as long as the conversation is not to complex. This joy I have rediscovered with bike riding seems to be an outlet and a renewed love affair with things I did as a kid growing up. Riding paths around my grandfathers farm and through his woods will always be with me. At the time I never realized that I needed a mountain bike or a gravel bike or even a road bike. I used whatever I had available and trust me it was never state of the art. I want to update this page and post things that interest me and hopefully will allow you to see and find the art and beauty in things that are less obvious to others moving at a much higher rate of speed.

Converting waste food to energy is a great use of our resources. This video will explain types of food waste that can be used and will demonstrate methods to remove packaging.
The goal of this blog will be to demonstrate the options available to wastewater plants who are now flaring and wasting methane gas. Through process changes and rethinking the organic waste stream we have achieved significant savings and even sources of revenue which every local government should be striving for.
The Hermitage Food Waste to Energy Facility process began in 2009 with the upgrade of the existing wastewater plants two existing anaerobic digesters. The decision was made to utilize the methane gas being produced and flared in a way that could benefit the plant. The two existing digesters were rebuilt to operate as mesophyllic digesters, and a third digester was added. A new thermophyllic digester was then added which allowed the plant to go from producing a Class B biosolid to generating a Class A EV biosolid. That decision alone allowed the plant to begin seeing savings in the way the biosolids were handled, and I will discuss that in a later blog post.
