popcorn

molly shannon was in a bomb of a movie called "year of the dog". i'm embarrassed to say i watched it. the only good part was that there was a beagle in it named "popcorn". here's our beagle eating popcorn.

20 degrees

when it's 20 degrees out, you can't do much. this is what gets you stoked. a 200+ year old oak tree. it's 5 ft in diameter in some spots. i didn't know they even made 'em that big in these parts.

get thrashed

i just watched the documentary Get Thrashed. if you grew up listening to bands like early metallica, slayer, megadeth, anthrax, overkill, D.R.I., nuclear assault etc...you will love this movie. it took me back. it reminded me of thrusday nights, when the ben davis high school radio station had metal night, and my brother and i would record the radio show and play it back. that's how we first found out about bands and shows. then in '91 when we saw the "clash of titans" tour. it was slayer, anthrax, megadeth, and alice in chains at deer creek. that's the shit i grew up on, and i wouldn't have it any other way.

skate witches

nat who does crooked arm turned me on to this.

it's a start.

hardtail rear end or put on ridged struts, bolt in engine (don't even know if it works yet, that's why i have two), buy new chain, figure out a seat, cut a rear fender, rebuild petcock (don't laugh), reconfigure wiring, pay for the 16 inch wheel, new fork seals, make exhaust pipes, clean carbs, remove center stand, ask alan to make some handlebars, rebuild front brake, clean gas tank...

back by popular demand.

it's breakfast for dinner!
