Who has now defined BAD ASS FEMALE to a degree that few mortals can hope to match?
Katie Spotz, 22, successfully rows solo across Atlantic.
Spotz made good time partly because she didn’t face any storms. As she approached South America she did hit strong currents and 20-foot waves, which struck from the side and swallowed her [...]
FINALS – OVER! Today! My last out-processing appointment with Sgt. Beer has NOT been canceled or postponed. ORDERS: Go directly at Beer:30 to appointment.
I’m posting mainly to tell you about an incredible wine that I’ve discovered – for $8.99 at Mt. Vernon Coop – look for it at YOUR wine merchant. Buy as many bottles [...]
Two years ago, I bought a chain
fattest chain I could find at Bimsco Hardware on Stone Avenue.
Tonight I did the same thing I’ve been doing
three nights in a row, and that is
yin within yang: sitting by the woodstove
listening to BBC World News
and chain smoking from my mesquite pipe.
But this time I got something accomplished.
I pulled [...]
I promise people: The next posting I make will be poetic and positive. But for now, I’m opening the door of my hurt locker to allow you to look within. It is a desperate grasp for commonality that I can’t find in the people I see today. My hope in humanity [...]
Some fucking asshole decided to sabotage the bike path by sprinkling a lot of broken glass in little piles for 30 feet, all over the path, and then cover it with leaves. I called the police and reported this behavior last week. They sent someone out to clean up the graffiti but left [...]
Toying with the idea of selling the Landshark. (no I’m not) busted my winter wheel, time to clean her up and put the GOOD wheels on ‘er. (…to have and to hold) take the glamour shots in departing sunlight (the frame doesn’t fit) and degrade this legendary bicycle with a Seattle craigslist post.
I’m dancing in an empty parking lot. Current status: Bikes: 3, cars: 0.
I am in love with this video. I’ve watched it 6 times now. I just don’t think I can get sick of this song. The video follows the whole process of production.
Congo Natty’s resemblance to Selasie I is not too hidden. This man [...]
There was a time when I lived where the only written words in my life were few, and they came from my soul, and they were written in pencil. Some years before that, I was young and fit. BJ – I’ve got the opposite problem. I weigh at least 15 lbs LESS [...]
This aught to get a laugh or two. Call me King
Put a helmet on when doing fast, dumb, or unusual shit. Your hands might catch the street but your bike can smack your skull. (I found out)
New rig almost done. Taking my time on ‘er. Had to machine an extra long nut to mount the front brake in a Kestrel fork, and made attempt at stamping an allen head. Had to grind it down to 8mm two sided. After grinding of STI stops round to flat, will [...]
Senna on XC amateur strategy:
Start line up close to strong friends or make fast friends with others in the lineup. Understand that this will probably start like a rocket and you’ll need to explode into action at the gun. If this is a relay style long race, then obviously this starting line tactic [...]
It was a warm sunny day in downtown Mt. Vernon – filled with cars and trucks as usual.
Today I saw someone in their big Expedition in the parking lot of the coop sleeping – while their car was running. I see people hanging out in their cars while stopped and running all the time here. [...]
Along light colored sand
she said: “Brown becomes the aesthetic.”
Only four years later, I get it.
I’m pretty happy with the mailbox I finished. Its base is 100x more permanent than a fir post – it is a Mercedes crankshaft in concrete. An American tradition – the creative mailbox. People will see this.
*living the dream* we like to say.
People will see what I write. Several years ago, [...]
Every few months or so, I buy one of those little cigars. I had to do something to get the sensation of the worst smell I have ever come across, and I’m convinced that tobacco is both a cancer fighter and causer, depending on your regularity of use. I took one long stoke and passed [...]
People don’t, nor are required, to fix their oil leaks. Not in a state where they don’t do vehicle inspections. This is what WA state looks like, people. IT IS A COFFEE ADDICTED, ALIENATING, BICYCLIST (other than summer recreational riders on designated trails) UNFRIENDLY place.
I see signs up about protecting the watershed, [...]
Sounds like fireworks and noise out there, soon to fizzle away. And here we have 2010. A numeric beginning. Two years ago, I was a few rungs south in the latitude, and building up more bikes more often. Ahhh… I had a nice bar stool at my work table and a Park [...]
Today I went and bought another bike. This time, I drove to Oak Harbor and found out it’s quite a ways out from the Vern. I cannot believe there are people in my class that commute from that far There are actually four students in the class from the same two bridges [...]
Ok wow. Now I know why Ralph likes them so much. And I know why I don’t see Colnagos for sale much.
