Rambling Discussions about Nothing: June 2012

Rambling Discussions about Nothing. Monday, June 11, 2012. Not really much to do with fishing. But these are the photos that I liked. Funny, until about the final 1/2 hour of this trip when I pulled the telephoto out, I wasn't very happy with any photo that I took. First, the eagles. I like eagles. Next, the sea lion. These aren't cropped at all. He was just that close. Gratuitous lighthouse/rock/wave shots. Actually, not really any of the lighthouse. All near the lighthouse though. Google is watching you.

Rambling Discussions about Nothing. Thursday, July 19, 2012. Jumping off the roof. I don't think of myself as a risk taker. I know people that are risk takers. They scare me. But, I understand that in the eyes of some, some of the sports that I participate in are "risky". My Mom is one of them. The boathouse jump became the stuff of legend. Every spring we talked about it. "Remember the boathouse jump? Then we'd talk about how the water will never get that high again and it was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

I'm a Lumberjack: August 2014
http://iridehere.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2014. Long term Alfine 11 Review - I took that shit off my bike. Man I ran that hub for a long time. And in a way it was great. But in another way it really sucked. I just didn't realize it. It started a few months ago. I pulled it off and set my bike up singlespeed. But fuck me if I'm going to push a singlespeed around Vancouver. So back on it went. Then I rode to work and left my bike there overnight. And came in the next day to find a giant puddle of Alfine oil under my bike. ItR...

Monday, September 9, 2013. Suspension Design - Santa Cruz Heckler vs. Ghost Cagua. I've been lucky enough to have some test bikes at my disposal. And not just a week or whatever.A couple of months with each. And while each bike is profoundly similar (6x6 travel, 650b, etc.) they are also remarkably different ( American. Single Pivot vs. Pseudo Horst Link, etc.). Chainstay Growth vs. Wheel Travel. Andshit.what's his other one? Oh ya Anti-squat. It goes on and on. To me, it's a lot simpler than tha...The H...

I'm a Lumberjack: December 2013

Tuesday, December 10, 2013. Confessions of a Delirious Mind. Behind the Scenes of a “Professional” Film Shoot). It began as an afternoon of dirt jumping. As of 3:30 in the afternoon, we were supposed to meet up at six for an evening session. By five the plan had changed drastically. So, rather than heading out riding, I saddled up my ball glove and headed for a slo-pitch/ass-kiss session to talk my boss into giving me the next day off. He did, so I was off. If you think they look tired now, you should sm...

Rambling Discussions about Nothing: May 2011

Rambling Discussions about Nothing. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Okay This is really late, but I figured I'd better do something sooner rather than later. Highlights:. Everybody in Chicago wears team merchandise. It's crazy. Incredibly passionate fans, although sometimes a bit misinformed. No picture. I had one at the airport and it was still fantastic. I won't mention the singer from the Black Crowes sitting a few rows over and I won't post the paparazzi shots that I took. The rest of Chicago is just a real...

Rambling Discussions about Nothing. Monday, February 7, 2011. Hangin' with the Biebs - Winter New York Vacation. New York is my magic land. The city loves me. It bends and flexes to my whims. Some of the magic is dissipating, but it still must feel like I'm fairly special. This is the view from the hotel room window. At night. This is not from the hotel room. This is some statue downtown. This is a street in New York. We looked it up afterwards and they had been at some party in White Rock. First up, the...

Rambling Discussions about Nothing. Friday, March 18, 2011. This whole Libya/Bahrain thing is kind of crazy and infuriating. When it first started all I could think is "Why don't we do something! Weeks have gone by. Interest has lapsed. Nothing has happened. I put together this note yesterday and was figuring I would send it to.I don't know.Globe and Mail? Not that it would do much. And then we finally did something about it. Maybe. Oil prices might rise? China will cut us off as a trade partner? The iro...

Rambling Discussions about Nothing. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. So Sayulita. Here goes. There was a fair amount of uncertainty about our villa heading in to this. Such is life when you pick a place off the Internet and transfer money into a bank account sight unseen. Anyhow. It was pretty nice. 20 feet from the beach. Nice pool that nobody else used. Sweet. Just needs another bedroom. So Surfing. First waves. Sometimes you gotta take some punishment to get a wave. Or push somebody onto a wave. We arrived at ...
