Stumbled across this on Make. Less flexible than even the cheapest bike stand, yes, but also probably cheaper than the cheapest bike stand. Works for me! A 10 minute project (if you count the five minutes at Home Depot buying parts).
“Wintery Mix” was in the forecast for last night. Don’t think it happened, but still…
I dated her daughter. That seems like an odd way to start a relationship, but it was the way ours did. I dated her daughter when we were young and stupid and when we broke up, the way young and stupid people do, she never went away. She loved me, I was “Her George” and that her daughter and I were no longer an item didn’t change that. She was always there, when I needed someone to talk to, when I needed some motherly advice, when I was being stupid, she was there. Even though she always hoped that her daughter and I would stop being young and stupid (up until her last days she would introduce me to people as “The man I wish had/should have been my son in law), she was delighted by my choice after meeting my wife to be and congratulated me the loudest when I got engaged and when I got married.
She was my biggest fan and had she not died 13 days ago, today would have been her 57th birthday. The world’s a worse place without her, but I’m a much better person for having had her in my life for the past 12 years.
I love you Ms. Stroud. I’ll see you later.
More Taintstick.
Monkeys of War…Director’s Cut. Hopefully Sean won’t have to bleach his eyes after this.
Ever have one of those weeks where you go to two funerals in three days and just need something to make you laugh?
Yeah, Ellis’s outfit was enough to do it for me.
My initial plan was to finish up the pictures from Clay’s jam today. Instead, I’ll be visiting one of the best friends I’ve ever had, who went into Hospice care yesterday. Obviously, I’m in no mood for cracking jokes.
I came across this video of Julien DuPont riding trials in Lyon. I’m pretty sure that a lot of people will scream “he’s doing BMX tricks on a motorcycle!” But the fact of the matter is, besides the trials moves, almost everything he does is something that BMX stole from skateboarding, so logically he should get a pass. But, he probably won’t
Jake “The Ripper” Barbee is my wife’s all time favorite BMXer. He is her favorite, in part, because when she first met him he was actually too short to sit in regular ol’ folding chair and had to climb into it like Everest. Of course he was four then, now he’s eight and has videos.
I turned 36 5 weeks ago. My DNA is wired to desperately want this.
Obviously a bike rack would be necessary.
Autoblog has the full scoop. God bless you, Kevin Morgan. I’m saving my pennies and growing my mustache.
