Level Impressions

It’s cross season in Nebraska — and everywhere else, I imagine — and contrary to popular marketing and myth, it doesn’t mean it’s time to glue tubulars, or drill dismounts, or hup hup some run-ups. [ more of my first post to Level mag here ... ]

where does the time go


so yeah, not much progress...
but i'm actually getting close to setting the upper cabinet above this counter.

IMG_1265

Sat Oct 10th we will be having a kegger to christen the new man cave (pictured above) We have been working all summer on cleaning out the basement and finally can move my pinball machines into the basement. Soooooo.... how better to get folks to help me move my pinbot and bride of pinbot along with a keg fridge into our basement than offer beer, chili, cinnamon rolls, and good times?

We have a fully loaded wii and might get some live music going on. 3 PM start. 429 F st. I am going to get a dartboard here in the next few days and stuff so if you want to swing by that would be awesome. I have my messageboard down with helping and the actual moving part should only take a few minutes.

Hope you swing by.

Eat the Male

I almost ran over this fine specimen of tarantula one evening. She was just out to find a mate, kill him, lay her eggs in his corpse so that when the babies hatched they could consume their host/father. Makes you think.

Karma? part 2.

Rides



A couple of new bikes in the family this month. These bikes should really get both Molly and I to the next level. I'm hoping to get pedals for myself some time next year.

Swine Flu Visualized

"The stand-out statistic from all this is the US’s death rate at 1.2%. It’s the only Western nation in the above-average rankings. This may be down to Swine Flu’s particularly lethal interaction with obesity. An estimated 34% of American’s are obese (CDC)."

People of Walmart

I know it's been awhile since I've posted. I hope this makes up for it. Enjoy.

shake it like a polaroid picture

im not sure what to think about this... more than not knowing what to think about the video itself i dont know what to think about the fact that i was looking for videos of dancing babies...

I'm having a showing of my photos!



3 frames

Pic above because forcing all of you to load an animated gif is just not fair.

Three Frames is pretty much that, 3 frames of a movie in gif form. Some decent ones there.

Tracker Skateboard Bikes

So this bike was given to my wife by her brother Kevin a really long time ago and for the last 5 or 6 years it's been my commuter. It was made in 1990 by Tracker Skateboard Trucks, but I don't know much else about it. I have not changed much on it, replacing only the tires and have removed the pedal cages. I love showing this bike off and it deserves a feature on a blog that is mostly about skateboarding and bicycles. Look closely at some it's unique features. All XT, motocross sized brake levers, rear brake on bottom of frame, carbon handle bars and check out where the front brake cable is routed down the stem. It has both Tracker and Mammoth stickers on it, but I don't know what it is exactly. I just love it.
