Happy Holidays everyone…. hope you are having as much fun as I am!

So… this is why I do business with Eric over at Fine Lumber. I asked him to pick me out a couple of nice pieces of wood, and this is what he sent me. Pow. That’s two slabs of Padauk, one of them over 11′ long… awesome. (Notice the Dr. Pepper to the right of the boards… yeah… they’re huge.) I was expecting standard 6-8″ wide boards, thinking I’d use it as an accent wood in some small projects… not anymore. These boards deserve to have a piece build around them… I’ll let you know what I come up with… friggin awesome.

ok. I’ve tried to wrap my brain around this for several weeks, and shit, man… I’ve got nothing. Someone, please explain to me how this happened. Cause, you know… its fucking weird. Anyone?

sigh…… there are many things that could be said about this picture, none of them good… a high five to the best caption. aaaaaaaaaand…. go!

Team 204 took a little trip up to Colorado last week… a good time was had by all (well… maybe not everyone…). There was fly fishing, climbing, too much drinking, and as much bike riding as my sea level living ass could manage in a week at 10,000+ feet of elevation. Trip leader Brad took me out on 3 rides (3.1 if you count the last minute drunken attempt to go for a ride at nightfall - it went about as well as you could imagine…) for a total of 47.43 miles and 4990 ft. of elevation gain. While there, Brad and I also rode the coolest bike ever and caught some massive fish… it was a good week… check out the whole photo set on my flickr page here.

As promised, new pics up on flickr site…

so, was out in oregon for a few weeks… highs in the seventies, snow capped mountains in the distance… all good things. got out a few times and sampled some local flavor… they do things a little different than we do here in centex. here’s the elevation chart for the ride…



6 mile, 2800 vertical foot death march to get to the top, and then the fastest, sweetest singletrack back down to the start…. incredible trail. lots and lots of fun. got a few pics, will post them later… going back in august, and promise to get some better shots then…

so…. its quickly becoming apparent that I have two courses of action. Either I learn to keep the rubber part of the bicycle facing down, or I’m gonna have to start wearing one of those Life Alert necklaces with the button that calls an ambulance… and for those of you squinting and turning your head sidewise, no, thats not my ass. That sexy, creamy white flesh is my thigh… bask in the glory, few people get to see that much sexy in one day.

we uh…. we may have had some drinks. this photo really speaks for itself, so…. yeah.
