today is the day

this morning i had my i-tunes on shuffle and it played two Today is the Day songs on a row. i thought "hmmm" what's up with that band these days. so i go to their myspace page and see that they are playing at the Melody Inn on november 30th. WTF? today is the 30th! weird.

ideas, ideas, ideas

i just printed out 60 pages of the "honda chopper manual". it's full of ideas. and i'm out of ink.

more bike press

knifes edge just got a little blurb in the indianapolis monthly. were at the bottom of the list and there's a photo of us in the gallery. we're moving to TV coverage next! i'm not kidding.

"who are we going to vote for?"

tony might be the funniest person i know. the content is a few weeks late but still hilarious.

like a dream

one of the first motorcycles honda made. i love the way the frame loops. a 1951 model was just up on ebay. it was up to over $40,000 and didn't made the reserve price.

romance morgue

photos from a new year's eve show. 2001/02. a great band from indianapolis that is now defunct. chris williams, scott wilson, bill pelon and jeremy king. long live.

choppin' time

i know we're supposed to be all "green" these days, but cutting down a tree is awesome! maggie was opposed to cutting down all the trees in our yard, so i had to go to my parent's lot to play with my new chainsaw.

bloomington ramp

there's always something new to skate in bloomington. this is the latest. gotta have a key or know someone...

thorns of life

this is HUGE if you were a Jawbreaker/Jets to Brazil fan, Blake Schwarzenbach is back in the saddle after being on hiatus for a few years. his new band is called "thorns of life". for now we're being teased with a few youtube clips...

tim's new ramp

spare bedroom ramp. 4 foot of flatbottom and vert on 2 of the 3 walls. he finished it yesterday and there was already broken glass and blood. someone's gonna get hurt...

first burn.

successfully installed and lit the boxstove today with much help from corey jefferson. perfect day for a first fire. 37 degrees and some flurries. not so perfect for being on the roof attaching stove pipe.

in case you were wondering: northen indiana is still flat.

i drove up to la porte today to pick up some parts i won on ebay.


"dog is my co-pilot". i always thought that was a lame bumper sticker.

the goods.
nice 360 twin tank. original paint.

this might have been the best score of the day. i stopped at an antique/junk store off of state road 421. i could have spent hours in there. this was what i walked away with.

some oldies for your tuesday.

lutzka, ragdoll, chris head, and neen.

the life of burney

how many dogs have a wardrobe let alone their own closet?

i built him this step so he can get to the bed easier.

sometimes he farts in his sleep and wakes himself up.

terre haute

went to the new skatepark in terre haute today. it was cloudy, sorta wet, and freezing. somehow i managed to delete the clip i had of a townie riding a wheelie on his 4-wheeler around the park. this is all i got:

basketball season is here

as a tribute to the start of the NBA season, i just wanted to say: "violet palmer, you still stink!"

medusa

medusa is one of the best live bands i've seen in awhile. they are 3/5 th's racebannon and from bloomington indiana.
