47th tracks


Based on the tracking skills I acquired in Cub Scouts, I've determined that mine were the 47th set of tracks at Manawa. That includes 19 bikers, 17 deer, 7 rabbits, 2 hikers (for some reason two hikers went in but only one went out, I'm not sure what that's all about) and 1 snipe. Snipe's usually travel in pairs, so there's a good chance there was a second, I just didn't see the tracks. If you're smart, you'll be the next set of tracks. The conditions were perfect.

Pull Your Pants Up!

This goes out to all you baggy wearin' fools who be misrepresentin the rest of us.



If you run with the spandex crew, that's a whole different video.

King James

I don't really need a new bike, but if I did, the new Cannondale Scalpel would be a good choice.



Why, you ask? Because when it comes to mountain bikes, Lebron James can't be wrong!

The Shins are calling us out...

I recently put the song "Phantom Limb" by The Shins on my iphone. As it was playing, something caught my attention. Did they just say "goathead"?
Yes they did...

Foals in winter coats,
White girls of the North,
File past one, five and one
They are the fabled lambs,
Of Sunday ham,
The EHS norm.

And they could float above the grass,
In circles if they tried,
A latent power I know they hide,
To keep some hope alive,
That a girl like I'm could ever try,
Could ever try.

So we just skirt the hallway sides,
A phantom and a fly,
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection.

And week of rolling eyes,
And cheap shots from the trite,

And we're off to Nemacura’s porch again,
Another afternoon with the goat head tunes,
And pilfered booze.

We wandered through the mama's house,
And the milk from the window lights,
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
This is that foreign land,
With the sprayed on tans,
And it all feels fine,
Be it silk or slime,

So, when they tap our mundane heads,
To zombie-walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too far along in our climb,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo

So, when they tap our Sunday heads,
To zombie-walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too far along in our crime,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo


...So, we riding this weekend or what? The Proletariat and I met for lunch yesterday and decided that all the guys would have to wear dresses on Sunday if we don't ride.

Parkour

Some of you know that I'm a high school teacher in Millard. Today, a few students told me they wanted to start a "Parkour" club and they needed a teacher to sponsor the club so they could be official. I had heard of Parkour before but wasn't completely sure what it was, so they showed me the following video.



What do you think, does Millard have enough insurance?

No Riding For You!

The weather isn't doing us any favors, and there hasn't been a post for a while, so why not reminisce and dream about Moab? Enjoy.
