Taken of Stevil - This is one cool race, look at the way the Junior Champ was launching the log and trench,

Gone Phish'n

Club Box thanks to Mr. Denight. Should be good. In high school, I got to see Phish and Suny Stony Brook campus for 10 bucks, Sat front row in folding chairs with Bleachers pack. Pretty cool! Watch the band take the role as leading the traveling Magic circus around the country. Sometimes the flow is hard to follow, and lyrics hard to understand but the sounds is amazing, I am sure not much has changed.

Wish I was riding

When I first started to get into cycling it was a gradual progression of an act of doing something. This led me to many facets of the what riding is. It meant picking new styles and learning each. It seems I came full circle, from full suspension to road, to single, to anyone for any day. Always a part was building fitness and strength and endurance. The more I rode the more I wanted to ride. Look for weaknesses and build on strength. Time is sometimes lost. Indifference is needed. Riding to get somewhere, cured inner stores, left money in the barrel and felt good. When beat and battered and cold, there is all the appreciation of warmth, home, and sweet dreams. There is always time for something if you make it. I have lost the inner stores, to go get it, but often think of a time when there is time. Lost will be the days of singing blues clues and dancing.

going into rant must cool off english will be broken
I vocalize my angst at slow pokes causing traffic jam. I can't stand how things all clog up because of a driver refusing to pass the truck of bus and get over into the non-passing right lane, why is that concept so hard to understand, it is a law, I would like to see people be made more aware. If you are doing 60 mph find a spot and get over, that is just call driving couteousy, which is something most people have lost, a little like a paceline, but I don' t think they would get that either. note to self just go the other way.

Costa Rico

Here is some great coverage of a truly unique event. Besides the racing it looks like fun.

Arundel

"This I did, tellng Natanis and Hobomok they were safe in hunting for a matter of three hours, though it was a move that did me no good. Yet I cannot rightly say I regretted it; for it has always seemed to me that if we regretted and sought to avoid all the small movements that lie behind our misfortunes and disappointments, we'd spend our lives in regrets and our days in immovability."

the exert from the book tells you nothing of the story, but may depict something about the author.

Back logged

I have a back log of post, but little time to get them up.

1) bike blog - including pictorials of removing a cotter pinned crank from a '69 raliegh record.

2) 50 mile ride round trip in the rain to spectate, but the beer was gone and a fire would have made lots of people warmer. Luckily I brought my own supplies. Double up with a stop at Ludwigs and sucked down Hop devil watching, racers pick up UCI illegal dollar bill hand downs. Chase by sheppards on commute home, I think the alcohol on my breathe scared them away.

3) The most important, or at least fun event to put on. My sleep is lacking due to late night antics and mission critical shuttles.

4) If I have any interest in doing anything but touring, I better get to a better health and wellness program, but curretn program is great for heavy weight wrestling matches and touring.

5) 3 hours out of work. fuel for night and new trail (is a one way ride) need to video the drop in.

6) Phils better beat some Yanker arse.

7) My girl is not a tom boy. and my boy likes sliding on his knees in grass.

8) almost forgot a major part of last weekend was home improvement, as time consuming and tedious as it may be, it feels good when the job is done. problem is the job is never completely done.

Beer Blog

So beer is a pretty integral part of life, A substance that is as historical as history, these little bugs invaded our drink to help preserve and protect us. Bla bla. So Of course our number one brewery is Victory because well, of course the great product they make is local, and delicious. They are purist to the art of brewing and every style they make rivals any in its class. Anyways I drink it all from 4'0 to champagne . So while at wegman's the other day I saw these for well, 7.50 a 12 oz bottle. But if you ever had it, and I only had it once, it is quite the different experience than most beers. To be honest there are very few people that would even want to try something like this. And even fewer brewers that try to make anything close, but being it Phillies playoff I figured I would enjoy one if after the phillies won. After watching a good game, while drinking, I opened this...

I am really not that into describing beer poetically, If it is a traditional German, Brit, Czech, or American, it is either good, really good or not that good. And to me it is relative to price ("the best beer is a free beer", unknown).When judging beer, it has to be categorized because it is the regional differences that are atempted to be replicated to taste authentic, but yet unique. So back to 120 min, only beers in it's category are from dfg, Sam Adam's, and possibly Belgians because they are so diverse(I have not had one close in taste or strength ). No words to really describe the taste. Let me put it this way I didn't finish the hole thing, it wasn't bad, but with work the next day I couldn't take it. So capped it half way down and put it in the fridge. Happily drank it for the start of game 2. Hop syrup ! with a sherry like in strength, but very unique taste.

with out futher adieu, true to the title here are some shots of my, well beer.
