I have a 1990 Toyota pickup truck with about 135,000 miles on it that has run without any problems since the day I bought it more than twenty years ago. I’m a pretty decent mechanic, I’ve always repaired my own vehicles and built a few race cars, motorcycles and off road vehicles as well, so … Read more
How about this lunker walleye my brother Gary pulled out of Lake Erie off Cuyahoga County? He claims the biggest one got away……
Okay, lost the camera, waiting for a new one. It was a toss up between the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 and the Canon S95. I’ve been a Canon user for many years, still use my trusty 20D DSLR all the time, but I decided to go with the LX5 this time around. More on the cameras … Read more
Well, today when I went to download photos from a mountain bike ride, I couldn’t find my camera. The reason I couldn’t find it is because I set it on the roof of my truck when the ride was over and I drove away without taking it off the roof. Pretty stupid, but it happens … Read more

Had to take the road bike out and go for a ride up towards Mt. Hood. The road is fairly busy, but it has pretty wide bike lanes and drivers are used to seeing bikers work their way up the mountain. Started in Hood River and rode up through Pine Grove and passed by Odell. … Read more
Today started out clear and sunny, but by the time I had taken care of some business and got ready to head out on the bike, clouds appeared in the sky and there was a little bit of drizzle. Showers were on the way to the Gorge. In the Pacific Northwest, when they say there … Read more
So thankful that summer actually seems to be rolling around with some nice, sunny days. Still super green from all the spring rain, but now the skies are blue and the sun is out. Riding conditions are great. Mountain bikes are pretty amazing vehicles. They take a lot of abuse and there’s not a lot … Read more
