Bestcaster – My First Strat Build
On MLK day I had the day off of work, and I spent the morning finishing the wiring and setup of my very first custom built stratocaster. Note: this is not the first Strat I have owned. I have owned a few different mexican made Strats and I currently have a super limited edition american designer series. I have been wanting to build my own strat a la Eric Clapton's blackie (which is a composite of 3 stats). Strats are a bunch of small pieces simply bolted together to create an iconic guitar. So I decided finally I would do ...
Gift of a lifetime
There is no other way to describe it except for... gift of a lifetime. For Christmas sarah told me she wanted to get me a guitar. One that I wouldn't normally go out and buy for myself. This began a search, a quest if you will. I played dozens of guitars finding something that felt right in my hands.

Race for Tara 2
On Saturday I finally got to do a 4x (Four-Cross) mountain bike race. I have been jonesing to do one of these for a long time, and this was the first opportunity I had to do one.

Sarah talked me in to getting out of bed and going to do this. She knows me so well, she knew how bummed I would be if I ...
Update from Moab, UT
Its day 5 of the annual Mountain Bike Mafia trip. While nothing has gone "as planned" its been a good trip. I have injured myself several times, however my shoulder does seem to be holding together. Its sore as hell, but its not causing me problems. At this very second, I am exhausted, beaten up, bruised, and homesick. I mean I love riding my bike in fabulous locations, but I like to come home to my own bed and my own life. I am glad riding season is over for the most part. I have ...
