The New Toy(s)


Fender Telecaster in Lake Placid Blue and a Peavey Classic 50 4 x 10

Brief Hiatus

Well hello again world, it has been a while. First off by "brief hiatus" I do not mean that I have taken some time away from wearing briefs....well, it technically could because I don't wear those ball constrictors anyway but....I digress. A few things have happened since the last post I made 2 or so months ago. Most important happening was that I am no longer an employee of Harlans Bike and Tour, nothing to speak of there it is what it is. I now work for a pork producer that offers me 10-17.5k more a year plus benefits ( I say 10-17.5 because there is a monthly bonus that is included at my place of business) ...its a bit of a drive but its fast paced work and has caused me to lose 12.3 lbs in my first 3 weeks of working there....bonus #2.

My last post was about Black Hills Fat Tire Festival so here is the skinny....we drove 5 hours, drank massive amounts of Busch Light, Miller High Life and managed to find 40oz PBR....score! The riding was dank as usual, was able to ride some cool shit that I would have never assumed was tucked away up in those Hills....Jason Jonas is hard at work building our 2nd installment of videos for the annual trip. One really bummer-ish side note about this was that I recently parted ways with the RFX....had some things that needed attending to and selling the rig was the smartest way to go about it. I did however pick myself up a nice Fender Telecaster and a tone-filled Peavey Classic 50 tube amp with 4 ten inch speakers to take up some of my time. I will pick myself up another dirt slaying monster, it will just be a bit later down the road...no biggie!

Lastly, the puny human that I call Ainsley just had her 1st birthday on June the 18th....we headed to Mitchell for a fun weekend of camping, sipping of brews and watching the kid go haywire on a massive cup cake.
