Practice makes mediocre.

Hey! You think it's funny?

There is a new hour special from Louie C.K. Creator,director and star of the show Louie.
The great slant on selling it is it comes as a Five dollar download/stream.
This seems to me to be the best way to distro video.Skip the middle man and sell it for a reasonable price.Shit,Five bucks is cheap for one of the best comics performing today.
I would not advertise this if I did not love it.

Sunday with no house guest!

After six months of LiAnna's sister living here and doing nothing there was a giant argument between them and a subsequent move out.She went to live with her niece.
All of her stuff is still here but I finally feel like it is our house again.
I spent all day yesterday watching movies without commentary.
Today we made brunch .

So fuggin' happy.

Signs

Two months ago I was asked to make a sign for a new Pub Gourmands that my real estate agent Ben was opening in less than a month.It had to be about thirty by forty made of wood stained the color of the wood his bar was made of and a four color logo screen printed.
I was fast to tell him I would give it a shot and off we went.
After getting the wood,stain,the one ink color I did not already have and the films to burn screens,I cut and stained the wood.The following Friday after work I started printing.I wont go into too much boring detail but by Sunday I was finished! After about twenty hours total.
This was the most challenging and rewarding Projects I have tackled.
Here's some pictures:



If you want to see it in person they have great food, friendly staff,ample parking and my favorite part thirty two ounce schooners of beer! You can see the menu,directions and all that

Bikes for your get off your ass

I have been putting off maintenance of my bike that I ride eight miles a day(more or less) five days a week(less than usually) and ten or more miles a day on weekends If I'm not doing chores around the house.
 My point is,for someone who boasts about riding and the love of riding I have been treating my bike like shit. A few days ago I ordered a nice rim from Dans comp. It set me back about as much as I paid for the bike.
 Next I needed to get a new sprocket to adjust for my new gearing,You see;my new improved back rim came with a fancy cassette hub that made my gearing insanely hard.Imagine the hardest gear on a mountain bike now go two gears harder.
 While trying to save some monies I decided to do the work myself,I have done this sort of repair before but If you have limited tools and experience things can go wrong.
 When I pulled the cranks off I succeeded in destroying my bottom bracket and spindle,My formula of brute force and ignorance once again ends in disaster.
 Luckily Empire bikes was there to save the day.A hundred and thirty dollars and a few hours later my bike is rolling better than it ever has.




Now its raining How do you like that?
