This is the end

Of 2013! Without hesitation, I can say this has been the worst, and best year of my life. Near death, great gains, great losses in all facets. I do not have resolutions, and do not believe in them. Do or do not, this is what 2014, and the future is about. With that, get out there and create, ride, and live. I'm not waiting for a "new" year to do this, it's happening now.

Best of luck my man, I know you never looked backward : )

A Return, of Sorts...

I'm back. So much to say, so little skill. While the winter is upon us, and my bike training is less frequent, I have returned to pottery. I have acquired a new wheel (after selling my industrial one with the intent of moving), and I have acquired a new technique, RAKU. I also came to my senses, and purchased a pyrometer, so no more cones, or guessing. Here are the latest, Raku and other.

This is just a small sample, but what I consider the best. I think Raku is my new "thing", along with single speed mountain biking (more on that later). Coming soon: How to burn your face off in a kiln. Hot stuff is hot. I dislike the extreme cold. Dressing for Cold weather riding, for Idiots like me. -Maybe I will stick with the blog this time.
