Another Name For Friday — Barbee/Watt/Treece

You know what I want to hear?
Something with like Mike Watt, maybe Ray Barbee on guitar, and then throw on a little Chuck Treece on drums.
Yeah. And have a couple real skaters film and edit it ... I don't know. Buddy Nichols and RIck Charnoski or someone like that.

homie

have fun at the homie to all that are going. here's some shots from my first trip back when mk used to live there.

a few pretty darn cool things...

First off, i think this was/is a pretty rad thing... Familia Skateboard Shop in MN is giving juice to YOU, the skateboarder! they got this thing called "YOU Interviewed" where there is a set of questions anyone can answer, any age or skill level, along with some photos and they post it on their site, the results so far are pretty awesome. worth a look for sure, its updated all the time. YOU should submit yours ASAP!

questions and info are right here> YOU interviewed

the other thing... GET CREEPY. you seen this blog? hopefully you are familiar with Kyle Camarillo, hes been filming rad shit for ages, weather you know it or not you've seen his work in most likely every video somewhere. ANYhow... he also shoots photos and his stuff has been popping up EVERYwhere, few covers even! what im getting at is that hes a cool dude, look at his site... getcreepy.com

Free Samples

Part of my job is receiving and sampling different beers and wines. Tough job, I know. It has been a few years since I tried any of the Pike beers from Seattle. I kind of forgot about them for awhile because they never made much of an impression on me. I recently got a few new samples and was really impressed this time around. especially with the Monk's Uncle and the Extra Stout. I really like Belgian Beers and the monk's Uncle was not disappointing in the least. I generally do not like stout beers, but after sampling theirs and another which shall go nameless. I have to say, I could be a convert. Try em on for size if you have the opportunity. You shant be disappointed.

Thanks, Sam.

ramping up

Okay. Yeah. Not really.

There hasn't been a sense of urgency on this part of the kitchen project. I've been taking my time, for sure. I have to get comfortable with each step before fastening it in place. I hate un-doing stuff.

Nothing in the house is 90deg to anything, but the counter will be in straight enough (I dropped it down to a livable level) and there's ample room between it and the upper cabinet now.
And I've got a mess to work with for the electrical supply to the oven in the cabinet.

cyclocross nationals coming soon

Just a reminder kids. Bend is hosting the cyclocross nationals this year and next. I know that most of you coming have probably already had your team manager book your 4 star accommodations and your team mechanic has been here for weeks doing soil samples and precipitation forecast models. But for the rest of you, feel free to contact me either before you get here or after arrival if you have any questions I can help you out with. Also I will be offering considerable discounts to participants at my restaurant. Good luck and Good Problems.

Vegas Baby

Some how I have made it almost 37 years without ever going to Las Vegas. To be truthful I never really had the desire. But last week i made it there for a Food Manufacturer's Expo, where i looked at multiple $60,000 100-gallon kettles, robots that would do everything from pick up a computer chip to wrapping entire pallets of goods in plastic wrap and everything in between. When people found out I was going and had never been before, most had the same reaction. "It will be interesting to see what you think about it when you get back", they would say. As it turns out the only advice I got before hand and used, was from Dave Carnie's Blog Food ON Drunk when he recommended Thomas Keller's restaurant Bouchon. For someone who's been in the game for as long as me, it is nice to be impressed. Thanks Dave.

50 Skate Kid

We met a couple of cool people today while on a shoot in the Chicago area. Logan and his dad Matt. They are on a mission to skateboard in all 50 states in the next 9 months, basically Logan’s entire 6th grade year. He will be doing home school with his dad, going to museums and learning about the country by traveling it. They are doing it low budget, staying with friends, family, and couch surfing with people they meet along the way. We had fun chatting with them and listening to thier stories. We already have plans to help them out when they pass through Utah in April. Anybody interested in helping out when they pass through your state should check out their web site 50skatekid.com.
Peace,
Steve and Tim

yeah!

a lot got done today. thanks to cb, jf, and jp. one more major heavy lifting experince down.
