Podcast

what can i say i love these stupid things. a friend of mine turned me on to them several years ago and i can't get enough. i'm not as hooked as i was before, but i still think they are the best thing since sliced bread. i got hooked on the cheesy one's at first...you know two guys shooting the shit about nothing at all. i just thought it was a good time to past the time while i was working. with me not being at work i don't spend quite as much time plugged in and haven't kept up to date with the one's i usually follow.

tonight i was in the mood for some musac and checked out the fader cast and ran into this little jem. i hope you enjoy.



i don't know much about the band other than the fact that they were putting music while i was shitting in my pants...

nothing new from the tabl.

So I just love new toys. This week two new toys decided to make my home their home. First is the new bike. I've been without a mountain bike for what seems like a month now. Which in the grand sceem of things isn't that long, but in prime riding season seems like six. This wasn't my first choice, but I didn't have it in me to wait another two months for the frame of my choice. By then it would have been October. Here's the new bike in it's semi finished state. I still need to finish building the wheels, add a chain and make final adjustments to the brakes and derailers.


I love the graphic design on the bike...


And now to the other toy which hopefully will make my life a little better at the welding table. I originally bought this setup because of the promise of better argon coverage while welding. Which it seems to do (keep in mind my shiat welding skills) but with the large outter diameter of the cup (that clear thing) I'm having problems getting into tight spots. I'm sure none of the big boys (those with more skill) would have the same problem. But I will be the first one to tell you that I need all the help I can get at the table. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to put it to test.
