In spite of the fact that The Mrs. rolls her eyes every time she looks at me these days, I can’t help but feel the need to show the world how cool I think I am with a beard.  I actually keep a chainsaw in the back of my truck right now for some instinctual [...]

Well, I hope your Thanksgiving was a good as mine was.  Me and the Mrs. headed to the desert for the holiday weekend, but we were able to find the time for a little riding and hiking…

Turns out what they say about jumping choyo cactus is true.  While I was taking my sweet Giant Revel [...]

I was going to write a quick intro to my annual summer review video about how high definition video vs. a 5 year old PC dont’t get along. I was going to write about how the following 4 minutes of my mayhem took me no less than 20 hours to edit. The seemingly endless [...]
