weak in the tweak: TRUCKTOBER!

caught some flack for the slack on bloggings, so heeeweego past blast:

-1shot jonny chimpo slayed a 15lb coho, he semi-butchered it and brought some chunks over to be smoked. oh yeah, i bought the most un-politically correct smoker i could find AKA the "BIG CHIEF". it hasn't burned the deck down yet. stolen I-5 north sign has helped a lot with that.

(pic is pinks in the brine, not the legendary 15lb. coho)

-been gun-toting in the woods, not much in the way of freezer filling though. there was one grouse that made it to the table, well it was part of a grouse. you gots to axe snowman for the details... here some mt. raditude huntin' pics:

"cry for mommy canyon" on the way to mt. raditude.

pretty rad, even though being cold and wet sucks

cold and wet: A-1!

-hiked up to rachel lake last saturday, was totally hunter man incognito. shotgun was broken down into a mtn. bike fork bag and all blaze orange was in pack as to not freak out of the families and other people on the trail. on my way back down from the lake there was one punk grouse seriously flippin me the bird (getit?, rdrr) on the side of the trail. was so tempted to duck off assemble that MOSSBERG, don the orange and git that din din, but then that galldurn jimminy cricket conscience kicked in and i just watched it hop around on the ground eating berries and crap while a family of Russians hiked up behind it. no shooty. rachel lake, btw, is a real pretty lake and the trail will toughen ya up. i recommend it. oh, PS made some RAD huckeberry muffins that night to bring to the 5TH ANNUAL JACKEE & ANDY OCTOBERFEST PARTY that night. well it was a muffin recipe but i just put all that crap into one pan. it worked. so i guess it was muffin/cake, whatever. party was rad, top-notch dudes!

favorite lake!

dinner that got away

UGMO aka the bauwss

MT. PRETTY??

-it's shred video premiere season! i used to get pretty excited for shred vid premiere season, but it seems that the douche-baggery at the premieres has been growing exponentially in the last 5 or so seasons. maybe i'm just a 30+ surly guy now or it's all the turkeys that come out of the woodwork. anyways, let's just say that i pick my video premiere battles carefully. neverland is the best vid i've seen so far. black winter SUCKS, videograss is fun to watch but not worth my $$, airblaster is way fun but still not $$ worthy, and um well uh, yup. still hoping to put some crap together for "WEAK IN THE TWEAK" the movie yahurd? stack that cheese, buhleedat. rdrrrrrrrrrrrr.

ok, so today me and T-DOH got rad on dickerman mtn. whoa, that don't sound right. srsly, that's the name of the stupid mtn., dickerman mtn. weenus jokes abound. whatever, here's the stats: 4.6 miles each way, start at 1800' el. end at 5723 el. it's not the steepest trail in the world but it's a pretty good one. actually, no, it's a WAY RAD ONE. i've been so stuck hiking the stuff off of the I-90 corridor due to it's proximity to seattle but holy crap that stuff off of the mtn loop hwy is friggin pretty!!! i've done some hiking & backpacking up here before, but it's deff on the radar for future stuff.

snow!
