oopsies

Unfortunately, I think I must report my first lost SD card in 7 years of owning and caring about cameras.  I went to open up the beater cam for an upload and there was no card! I also think I had some meaningful snaps on it... weak.

On an up-note, you can expect 3 simple sequences in the near future.  My list of ideas finally got large enough to sprout a creativity seed.

Take care,
Scott

Totally distracted me and I totally forgot to lock up my bike. Sketch.

the solo bbq-ist

Yesterday I was riding to the pizza parlor when I stumbled upon this dude.  He was the only one around and just hanging out with his tiny little bbq.  It had just stopped raining about an hour before and it was approaching evening.  I thought it was so interesting that he wanted his bbq chicken wings so bad that he spent the time to set up a little briquet bbq on the sidewalk and marinate the wings, all by himself.  Good things never come easy.

He had some great smelling chicken wings going.

Life has been unreasonably busy lately.  While sitting at the lab computer today, for some reason, I imagined this collage.

Here was my original thought:

one of my old bikes

I think I got this bike back in the summer of 2008.  Before this bike, all of my interest was in mountain bikes.  Essentially, this was my transition into the strange, mysterious world of road bikes.  I was at home back in northern california for that summer and hopped on craigslist to see what I could find.  Somehow I lucked out and found this:

which quickly turned to this:

and then this:

The guy I got it from was a tiny little dude who clearly couldn't fit on it.  He told me he just wanted to get rid of it and get a few bucks for some sodas.  It was painted when I got it and all I did was slap on an old skate sticker as a head tube badge. I enjoyed this bike very much.  It was a fun transition/introduction to a whole new part of the sport. I even poked a rattle snake with the front wheel on a ride in southern oregon.  I never figured out the make of the frame.  All the bike shops I took it to couldn't figure it out either.  It had a very unique brake arch in the back.  One guy thought it was a Klein.  I am leaning towards an old Nishiki due to its component set.  The chainstay sticker said "Boston Bicycle Company" hence my query in the search box in the screenshot. I always dug those gold rims.  Ultimately I sold this bike in 2010 for $140.  It needed new tires and a bottom bracket badly.

old disposable

So over summer or winter break (I don't remember), I found an old disposable camera in my closet at my real home.   There were already a handful of pictures taken on it.  It took me this long to finally fill it up with stuff I found "worthy".  I had absolutely NO idea what those first few photos were of.  The answer: A) I brought the camera snowboarding a looonng time ago or B) I found it a long time ago while snowboarding and kept it.  Either way, the first few shots may or may not be of people I actually know.
