NO BAD DAYS

i really hope this thing works. it might look simple but it took me a fair amount of time to find most of the pieces for free/cheap. it also took me some time to get the courage to drill 4 holes in the transom. the hardware (i.e. galvanized nuts, bolts, washers, pins) cost more than the rest of the junk (i.e. wheels, scrap metal, old skateboard bearings).

we'll see how long she lasts in the salt.

DIORAMA PARTY!

celebrated independence weekend on an indian reservation. rdrr? early am leave on satuday, drink beer, eat food, watch people surf. WA surfers dress just like WA snowboarders, they pretty much just wear black. i've seen colored neoprene before, c'mon. there was one neat fellow that was surfing in blaze orange cap, i rooted for him. i don't know anything about surfing but the course at Hobuck this past weekend seemed like it was the surfing bunny hill. i would have tried but i'm sure some hardcore black neoprene surf thugs would have cut my achilles with a box cutter, taken out insurance or whatever. double rdrr.

12 or 13 people and 2 dogs packed into an aerostar equipped with a karaoke machine. nobody would sing with me.

OFF, OFF, OFF-OFF

it's been a while. recap: went to oregon for a week of snowboarding & snowmobiling, san diego for memorial weekend, found some morels, work has been sending to neat places like walla walla and winthrop, i like to pull weeds in the yard when it's not raining.

we got to see this piece of art while in encinitas. i heard the NPR spot about it a month before heading to california. it was fun to dodge cars trying to get photos.

boat art



rode bikes from ballard to bainbridge to skate yesterday. it was a going away party for winkleman. dj sets at public skateparks are rad!

ROTTEN TOMATOES

anybody know the name of this grab?

p.s. i'm goofy-footed

MOMMA MIA

went to baker last weekend. lifts one day, mini kicker sesh the next.

ABBA disco party at the swedish cultural center. we went for a friend celebrating her birthday. refreshingly fun. hellhound dancy party style: cheese eating gigalos from beyont the moon, etc.

splitfest. nobody in our crew demo'd any splitboard gear. zeekers demo'd a coat. TREW! nothing like splitting with zeekers, frankles, and outside lady to remind me that i could be in better shape. i won a shovel, pretty stoked. a 12 year old girl won a travis rice board. somebody should help me proform some nice splitboard bindings.

MY NAME IS MICHAEL, I HAVE A NICKEL

gonna get 5 out of 7 days riding this week. that's 5/7ths for fraction lovers or 71.42857%. it feels nice to have sore legs. it is not nice that OPEC is killing my credit card.
