5 calls to freedom!
After I got the forms I did as any good citizen would and diligently filled them out and sent them in (Well not really, but no need to get in to that here). Sometime later I got my “Notice Of Jury Service” card in the mail with instructions to call in [...]

YES! Finally! My NAHBS 2008 post!
NAHBS? For those who don’t know, that is the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. It is the annual showcase for custom bicycle frame builders from around the world, but mostly from the States.
On to the bikes!

Joesph Ahearne had a bevy of stunning bicycles on display. [...]

NAHBS 2008 post still on it’s way, seriously!
Yesterday morning my good buddy George called to tell me that one of his friends flaked on an Iron Maiden ticket. This was about the best news I had heard in a while. Needless to say I snatched that ticket up in a heartbeat!

They rotated stage [...]

Still sorting my NAHBS 2008 photos!!!
Soooo, until I get through them all here is everthing else I did in Portland. Well, what remember in roughly the order I remember them in. My good friend Shaun picked me up from the airport Friday afternoon and we headed to my hotel.

After a long day of shooting guns who doesn’t like some chili!
Chili John’s in Burbank is one of those restaurants I’ve seen a gazillion times and it was always closed. Probably simply bad timing, but we’re talking a couple decades worth of not seeing it open. Mike and his Dad had the same [...]

The single most important cyclist in America has passed away.
Yesterday the world lost the best guy to ever ride a bicycle, Sheldon Brown, to a heart attack. If you ever searched the Internet to find out something about bicycles chances are you ran across his website. If you ran across his website chances [...]

One day of fun is turning in to 3, yes 3, blog posts.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, shotguns are the most fun guns EVER! Don’t get me wrong, I like handguns and rifles too, but shotguns are just so much damn fun. Birdshot, buckshot, and slugs come in many [...]

Today I turned *cough* thirty *cough* five.
After the steak dinner Amy, my sister and bro-in-law bought me, I feel too full to think about age. Tomorrow I’m taking the day off to recover and put holes in things with these:

Tomorrow Mike and I are going to do a little shotgun comparison. My Remington [...]
