Between morning cup of coffee 1 and 2 the little dinger on my phone went off letting me know of a new email. Fuck it, gonna get cuppajoe # 2 down before I read that. Half way through #2 I decide to check it out and what do ya know, school got cancelled due to …

The shittier the Wx, the better the adventure. That’s what I tell myself anyway…
Despite the severe wind warning NOAA was putting out, I felt it was the perfect day to head out into the desert for some solo riding. Winds on the way out were 40-50 and blew me into the oncoming lane a few times, but the lean traffic made it only scary, not deadly. …

The wind, it BLOWS
Holy shitballs! Decided to get in some 'mellow' highway time to build up for the big ride home to Oregon in a couple weeks and maybe get in a little freeway action. Silly me forgot the forecast from yesterday mentioned something about wind. As in lots. So for 234 miles down hwy …
Goddamn, that was fun!
Read this much or talk to me for very long and you'll find me enraptured with my new love: Thumper, the KLR. Each ride is a boundary pusher/skill builder and it is just as fun as ice climbing minus the cold. Till winter, that is. Dammit, now I want to think about the awesomeness that …

2 Weeks and a wakeup!
Should the gods lose interest in my torment, the above noted time frame shall see me ripping balls out in Mighty Whitey: the fuck out of Ideeho and back to Bend, OR - home sweet home! 3 summers in and I have yet to find a reason to refer to Idaho as anything other than …
Putting it, and myself, to the test.
Well, that was a ball. And educational. What more could you ask for, really? About 11AM on Labor Day I got an idea to maybe get a ride in even though I was going to give the new paint job a day to cure. Fuck that. If (when, actually) it gets goobered I can always …
A Bored Firefighter is a Bad Idea….
Holy fuck, this has been a shit season. 1 little fire in the entire month of August, unprecedented in my career. I can hear the horseshit screed “Well, it’s good not to have fires. Smokey Bear and all that fire is evil shit.” Wrongo. It’s not like fuel conditions reset to zero if the shit …
