Friday Five

So this is my first Friday Five. I feel so…conformist… 1. How much time do you spend online each day? It’s my job. Really. That, and reading Maxim and Seventeen. 6-10 hours per day. But, technically, I’m online 24/7 since I’ve got corporate SDSL at home. 2. What is your browser homepage set to? The […]

Power? What power?

It appears that major cities on the East Coast are without power. MSNBC has a live feed.

Buckle me up, strap me down: I feel naked unless I’m bound…

I learned many things growing up as a young child because my parents were more or less firm believers in learning by doing. Don’t play with matches. Don’t stick your fingers in your mouth at a petting zoo. Don’t dump a box of Raisin Bran out on the bathroom floor to pick out the raisins […]

Lunch

Leftover grilled chicken Side salad with ranch dressing Leftover beef taco meat 2 slices American cheese 1 low carb tortilla

Sol

The sun is out. Finally. Maybe my car will finally have a chance to dry out. Maybe the house will finally have a chance to dry out. Maybe my desk will snap back into it’s original shape.

Side salad with ranch dressing Beef taco meat Grated parmesan cheese 1 low carb tortilla

Welcome to day 12 of the storm…

We need a recall election for whoever is in charge of weather. There have been severe thunderstorms and massive downpours every day for well over a week now. Everything is moist and, even when it’s not raining, my clothes get that unwashed stuck-to-the-skin feeling just from sitting around the house. All the carpets in the […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]
  • Chippoke’s Cabin Fever Maple Whisky Bacon Grease Infused Bacon Crumble Brown Sugar Caramelized Ghost Chile Chex Mix
    What’s the best way to wind down after a hard day of trail building and mountain biking? Alcohol and bacon of course!

  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh! From their Web site: It was my wish for our children to benefit from these same outdoor adventures as well as my passion for […]

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter). I’m intrigued by their product lineup, reviews, and press coverage so I applied to become a member of their Flight Crew. Hopefully the next time you see […]
