Woooooohoooooooooo!!!!!
I’m not huge stick and ball sports fan, but I was born and raised in LA so I always rout for the home team. Today my buddy Bill treated us to a fantastic day at the ballpark. We were seated a suite at Dodger Stadium. THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO SEE [...]

More clusterfuckage!
Sooooooooo I ordered a Profile Racing Standard Bottom Bracket to replace my Profile Racing Evolution Bottom Bracket in case the binding problem with it does not get resolved. Well I e-mail Profile about the problem and they would throw in a set of replacement Evolution cone washers with my order. I get [...]

Tastey Trout And The Grilliput Test . . .

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

The Grilliput passes the test!
I was farting around REI several months ago with Serge when I ran across the Grilliput, a portable grill.  I do some camping and fishing so it sparked my interest.  You can go to their website to see all it’s features.  I’ll say this, it’s easy to setup and tear down.  [...]

I will finish this project, yes I will!
So back in 2004 I finally started building up my Gack Trailmod 24″ BMX crusier with a bunch of swanky parts. Then I stopped for no good reason. This project goes back hmmmmm, maybe 7 years when I bought the frame. In ‘04 I had [...]

I Just Ordered My New Float Tube . . .

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Went all out!
While at the Pasadena Fly Fishing Show I had the chance to see the North Fork Outdoors Freestyle H3 float tube. It was by the far the best float tube I have ever seen. I have one small concern about. I’m not 100% sure that my rod holder will work [...]

Yes, I collect knives too!
I have been fascinated with knives (and flashlights, but that’s a whole other post at some other time) since I was a child. I remember getting my first knife, a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. It was the Classic model that they still make today. It was misplaced long [...]

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

The best pancakes I’ve ever had at a restaurant.
Seriously fluffy and fantastic! Their waffles are also excellent. They have a ‘Bacon Waffle!’ Yes, I said ‘Bacon Waffle!’ How can that not be magnificent! Seriously. Upon my next visit I will do a more complete review with photos.
So far I’ve [...]
