Sushi Pyramid

_ turkey dog sushi rolls on Madeleine Islands

Had an incredible Thanksgiving with some new friends. Slept with the stars every night. Attempted to swim in Superior but without gloves or a hood proved impossibly cold. The Turkey Dan fired in his new BBQ was super good. The trick is to have a drip pan and add new charcoal slowly.

We shared stories, food and putting logs on the fire. A wood fired sauna filled the day after Thanksgiving with sweat-equity. The stars broke early and the moon was a crescent in the sky. We were in bed by 9 and up by 6. Early to bed. Early to rise. Probably how the Pilgrims and Indians did it in their time.

Total F(bomb)-ing Blood

Tearing it up at the Chooglin CD release Party 7-street Entry Nov. 17th

I enjoyed the tunes. Full sound. Lots of sound. Loads of full sound. Did not have my ear plugs. I was reminded the next ear-ringing day. Missed the opening act but caught the next two, bass and drum, bands. I'm trying my best not to name drop.

I like Chooglin. They are so tight. Almost too tight. Then the horns of Eleganza, who accompany the band, include: Bass trombone, trombone and trumpet. Aaah. So nice. Not just a bunch of hot air. Punk shouldn't be perfect or over the top. The icing here was just too perfect.

Ride On!

_Homey fixing his wheel in Mendota Heights

I was riding down the last major hill and into the caged skyways that border the Southern edge of I-494.

I see this biker carrying his bike. A see another bicyclist ride by him. I keep going and look back through the chain link fence d bike path. He is looking at me pumping his flat tire in the air. I pull up ahead and meet him on the trail. I think his name was Flea. If it wasn't he sure looked like him. He says, " Isn't riding great!"

Yeah. Riding is great. His phone rings and he answers explaining that he's got things under control.

"Oh man, I don't want to make you late. I don't want to get you fired."

This is the best excuse I have all year for being late.

3 Favorite MODES--Ride the change.

_____choose_____0-0__your___(_)__favorite___O-0-O-0___mode_____

Possessed by the weather and how it dictates our mode of transportation?

Walking is always a part of it. Where eva we go we got to walk. Unless you are bound by a chair and then you roll all day. Or if you just happen to own a Segway. I wear roll-on man!

Tonight's full moon delivered the light I needed for a nite ride . I have plans like most weeks; spend the most time possible on my bike-- Bike mode, bike mind.

Winter requires a bit more riding gear: booties, rain gear, tights, long underware, socks, fenders, warm gloves, ear protection, coveralls. Today was the warm autumn blues. I looked at the weather and see 3 solid day of dry riding and then some slop.

Bike mind keeps me on my gear needs.

Ride, walk and try to drive as much as I need.
Try to remember how nice it is to ride my bike.
Ride to the change I want to see.

Only try this at HOME!

Halloween and the Pumpkin patch

All Saints day passes. We put ourselves at pace with the curing of autumn. When steps turn frozen. And all takes a taste of these crisp cool morings. Our day light savings makes us saving our mornings for a time to be with light because by the time we get home it is gone. And we light ourselves.
