6" X 9"... mia culpa

I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Just a plain old tool.

I have managed to create more work for myself, plus I told everyone 4"x6" envelopes, with work.. but 6"x9" avoids folding stuff!

I am having fun so far, plus I leave country tomorrow, so I can pass the buck to my daughter!

Family celluloid

My mom kept 100s of photos in volumes of albums that bring to tears to my eyes still to this day.

We need to print things on tangible mediums, as I fear all this information we have available to us now is only on the screen we are looking at.

There is no charm in a disc of info.

JJ suggests I start using a Polaroid, & I think he is right.

I believe I will.

I know I am naive & backward, but if offered a disk of images for $1 or a greasy photo album full of faded images for $100. the decision would be made with out hesitation.

On Ebay now

I have seen some crazy stuff on ebay... but never this insane.

I tried to send a message to the seller, & got no response.

All I can say is; good luck fool.

The buckle back came straight from the old man

Any branded MC racing jersey is close to impossible to find these days.

Early HD jerseys are few & far between!

HD Swan song

The KRTTs were the last of the great flatheads with proper factory backing to dominate road racing.

Arriving in droves!

The self addressed envelopes are arriving in droves!

Please send 4x6 so I can send you the the big sticker & post card without folding them.

If I get the smaller envelop I will just send the small sticker.

Thanks,

YESTERDAY'S TECHNOLOGY TODAY

Send a self addressed 4x6 envelope, & I'll send back stickers... & I'll sell your name to Publisher's Clearing House...

Really on the stickers, not really on the the later.

LES PETROLEURS

Stayed up all night,

got caught up on emails,

whined on the blog,

was called on it(nice),

got this pretty pic from Olivier & back to posting...

The time has come... the time has come today!

Really, 2065 emails.

Insane.

I threw my TV out over 15 years ago, & don't miss it.

I've smashed cell phones in embarrassing fits.

This computer is next.

The motor on this soul sucker seized.

I took it to the mechanic & in little more than a week he gave it back in running order.

I didn't miss it in the least!

I may be slow in returning emails or choose the easy way out.

I may commit a bit of the old ultra violence on either myself or the screen I am looking into.

This my be the end of your humble narrator.

Maybe in retirement I can follow thru with my idol threat, & rid myself of all these shackles.

Pirate's Cove

Got out of the snow for the weekend!

While in Las Vegas for the Bonham's & Butterfield & Mid America auctions we stayed at Graig's place in Boulder. These pictures where taken... like all my pictures... with my camera.

This private residence is loaded with stuff taken from Disneyland's ride after a remodel.

I remember as a kid wanting to jump the ride & live right there... my dream came true a few decades later.

Cabin fever

Can't snowboard, can hardly ski, just miss sunny LA when the snow lay deep.

At least he didn't get a parking ticket

Maybe this is why 70% of all motorcycle in the U.S. were registered in Cali pre 1970

BACK STREET HEREOS 321

Let it snow, let snow it, let it snow

The plan was to get home from Japan & spend the holidays with the family... away from the snow.

We went on a cruise to the Bahamas, and although Nassau was great, it still felt like a tourist trap.

A cruise is not a good idea.

There is no fun being trapped on a floating mall for a week, being feed cafeteria food & watching cheesy broadway knock offs in the eves, for a lack of anything better. I lost my desire to read & never got out of my funkylackofsleephangover from Tokyo.

Fast forward, NYC.

Cramping the Seeger's style as we abuse their hospitality, stuck in the city as the subway from Church Ave. to J Street is closed. JFK & La Guardia closed. The City is gridlocked.

No delivery, we dug the car out & went for a few pies... best meal so far... car got stuck, as we were digging it out we noticed the bus stuck in the storm & abandoned.

Entire city blocks and parked cars completely buried.

Surreal.

Went sledding in the park & felt like a child.

I need to rethink snow... I could learn to like it.

Sinners Nomads are one scary bunch

Timeless

I saw Jimmy in a silly Nashville flick with River Phoenix, it must have been at least 15 years old; He hasn't aged a year!

72 hours without a nap...

settling in for the night, when got the invite to attend a 3am a performance from Shonan No Kaze @ Ageha... watched the japanese sun rise in the fish market... man i feel bad for your foot Red...

A special thanks to.. Ko Kimura, Kenzo, Red Rice, Break & Shock Eye, for the freshest sushi in the world for breakfast.
