Tis the Season

Its nice as hell outside.  Riding season is here, and  I have a lot to catch up on.     I love riding and writing, but I tend to favor the former and procrastinate the latter.

I Met Jim Leonard a couple of weeks ago.   There’s a few guys who have claimed to own the original Captain America Bike, and Jim is one of them.   He’s a helluva good dude, and a bigger Easy Rider fan than I am.  I know the route, and Jim knows the movie, better than anyone.    Quality guy.   I’m a pretty good judge of character, and I count the guy as a friend.    Looked through thousands of pictures I’ve never seen, and saw his Bikes.   Very cool.

MotorcycleHouse.com hit me up and asked me to review one of their jackets.    I fought them a bit, saying I’m not that kind of blog.    I don’t blog to make money, I blog to document my my favorite religious experience, which is riding.   After telling them I wasn’t going to gush over a $90 retail jacket, they assured me I can be honest with my review, so I will.     I’ll ride in it for a week and see what they say.     They may end up sending out a hit for me, I don’t know.

I’ll get caught up, I swear.

Monday Off

I’m off today.   Took off Thursday and Friday too.   I did roll in on Thursday off the clock and had the biggest sale I’ve ever had.  I had a conference call a board and CEO of a pretty big Boston Mass Company.    At one point in the conversation, they were impressed a Utahn knew how to use the word “Mass-Hole” correctly.    I want to thank my Massachusetts friends for that.  They laughed, The conversation turned, and I ended up landing the deal.

Today I’m not doing anything.   Last day off.    I’m looking forward to hitting it tomorrow.    I dig my job.

Steve McIntyre

The missus and I went to to the local Hockey game last night.   Great game.    We both love hockey.   Had a good night, had a dinner and a drink, and watched the Grizzlies win in overtime.   She knows hockey, maybe better than I do.      We drove home, basking in the win.   Talked of getting season tickets.

Noticed this morning that one my favorite Penguins was on this team.   Steve McIntyre.    That man could fight.   Maybe a few of  the best fights I’d seen in the NHL.

There’s good stories everywhere, if you just pay attention.     Steve McIntyre is 34 now, got assigned down to a ECHL team, and I gotta think is near the end of  his career.    When he was with the penguins, the man just made me smile.    You couldn’t wait for what he would do.    He stood out.    A favorite.  You didn’t want all of him.

Glad he’s with the Grizzlies.    I’m even more of a fan now.   One tough sumbitch.

Support your local Grizzlies.    Yeah, maybe Season tickets…

Sick.

In hockey, you gotta be a quarterback, a safety, a linebacker and a wide receiver  in the span of a 50 second shift.    All while your teammates are trying to do the same thing.

My sport is better than your sport.   Lets Argue.

Yeah, Sick.
