Where the Wild Things Are

Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene

He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean

He's gonna start a war

He hops in his pickup puts the pedal to the floor

And says "I got mine but I want more"

Because, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene

He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean

He goes to the forest, fires his rifle in the sky

And says, "God if I have to die you will have to die"

Because, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene

I didn't move to the city, the city moved to me

AND I WANT OUT DESPERATELY

Happy Halloween

Every year we host a pumpkin carve off. This is my Jack-O-Lantern inspired by autumn days in Oregon and some of our recent adventures involving long hikes through old growth forest, mushroom hunting/picking, and camping. And after 3 weeks of marginal surf, finally getting some classic October goodness! Happy fall to all and have a spooky and scary Halloween. Off on a little 3 day roadie to celebrate yet another year on this planet.


In celebration of the haunting hour, here’s some Black Lips live in Philly, I saw A Ghost (Lean).

Reconstructing the Stoke: Part 1

And the winner is…..

.......Don Young's white 1,658-ponder. A monster white pumpkin from Iowa (not Oregon for the 1st time in years) takes the prize at this years Half Moon Bay pumpkin weigh off.

Damn, I miss that little town and my old lifestyle, but no need to be a CBV. At least not yet.

Near Miss

I didn’t want to hype it, so I didn’t really tell anyone. But almost scored a job on the north coast, the one part of the coast my wife and I feel has the greatest livability. In the end I didn’t get it, but I know I was close. Damn, surfwise the lunch time session potential was ridiculously high and I was dreaming of not making the commute to the coast anymore, which is going to get maddening when they begin upgrading a tunnel on 26 and a bridge on 6 this spring. Not to mention, not dealing with the ice factor this winter. Back to the drawing board and in the meantime I must continue to deconstruct the stoke. The saga of the working valley man continues.
