thanks, and your welcome!

I'm reading a Rolling Stone biography of his later years, up to the morning he offed himself.
The book is hundreds of small anecdotes and stories by friends, girlfriends, kids, ex-wives, publishers, co-defendants.
Pretty good.

Are we going to see you out riding one of these days? Loving my "new" Hectik, feeling 10 yrs younger and riding stuff I thought I never would.

I thought you'd like Stoney.

I got the reference.....shalom.!
sometimes our geezer bros can be a little slow on the uptake.

Hey Obee!
My dad bought a bike in Vancouver a little while back so we had to make a trip out to pick it up. I had a five day weekend from school (9th to 13th) so it worked out great. Rode Seymour and Fromme on Friday, Sunday and Monday and went up to Whistler for Saturday. It was an amazing trip - ended up covering around 40,000 vertical feet on the bikes!

Yeah he'll be out rippin Mom soon.
See ya sun with the Johnny Walker Black M8.

I have taught at Ernest Manning before for Cathy Kelba. Might know your wife if I saw her but the name doesn't ring a bell. You should bring me out to Strathcona to teach for you guys. Taught there once years ago for Glenn Zederayko and the outdoor ed program

Eglinton Stn. Shit, At various times in the 80's, I got drunk, arrested, beaten on, blown in the women's can and once I bought a case of American brewed Miller lite (during the beer strike) on the southbound platform....all at Eglinton Stn.

Hey. Too bad you didn't make it out yesterday. Had a great day with the crew. Thanks for telling me to introduce myself. Great to connect with more great people/riders!

Just got back from the lake. Colin & I will be out at Moose tomorrow (Monday).

well that sure sucks balls. i've got another buddy i work with on the trails at pano and he's got a bad hernia too. crazy shit. hope ya feel better soon.

has it ever.....the poachers don't know when to keep their mouths shut....

Yeah obviously Thursday didn't work out for me. I broke my bike on Wednesday, now I'm waiting for new parts. They should be in early next week. I might be heading to Fernie, but shoot me a msg next time you are heading out.

Looks like a "rain out" coming again tomorrow. Any chance you are going out building this evening? We will be heading out to either ride or build.

Hey bro! Thinking of riding Moose Thurs or Fri, if things are drying up, but not 100% sure yet. Are you heading up those days at all?

SS this weekend?

Hey Dude, heard you stopped for a nap on the trail in whistler. Glad it wasn't to bad, we are off to whistler tomorrow. Know of anyone headed that way for a couple days? We had a cancelation and have an empty room we can rent out. stayin just across from the hospital in the village.
you guys makin it to silver star on our way back? the 14.15.16th i think?

Great Whistler pics! Again...sorry to hear about the injuries.
I see you are thinking of hitting Kicking Horse next weekend. Maybe we will finally get to run in to each other?

Damn bro, sorry to hear about the crash! Concussion's are no fun at all!!! Heal up quick!

'sup Obee, hows the rippin?

sweet.. whistler!!! have a blast mang!

I love imperial cheese! Haven't had it in a long time....

What you sayin this weekend homeslice?

shit you're a busy dude. i'm down whenever you want to get something going on ROS. Give me a shout when you've got time. Have a blast in Whistler, i'm looking to get out that way later in the summer. For now i'm hitting up the local goods and getting out to Panorama a fair bit. Got a corporate pass to the hill so makes for a sweet cheap lift accessed trip.

hahah same here, no schedule except for what's on the plate. let me know when you're local and we should find a section to work.....

Home free!!!Whats your schedule like these days?

Thanks! Yeah sorry won't make Fernie, already have plans with the family. But fer sure some riding in the near future is definitely in the plans. I was game to ride today, but Cam was still in "finished Grade 8 just starting summer vacation" mode. He just wasn't into it today.

ahh.. I was just wondering if perhapds you knew my parents/grand parents.. but I see your a bit too young. My grandfarther was headmaster for Strath from 1940 to 1967... and my dad and all his siblings attended/borded there... but your wayy to young!

Those are really sick, I wish I had some art skills. I love the flame job in particular... that shit looks factory!

I'm in SS on the 20,21,22,23 of July. That is if I can ride yet, Truth be told, I'm not healing well from my stacker at COP in May and I'm in f*cking pain 24-7. Old wounds re-opened dude. I'll go ride the pavement trails sittng if I have to!! hahaha.
I am looking at making down your way early August, Late august and whenever....
but really, sometime in August is likely.
I set up a heavy bag in the yard today. I am fat and gassing...too much sit, not enough ride. Talk to you soon.

That lid being painted in your photo's... is that your work? Looks really nice.

Strathcona? How long have you been working there? Did you attend there?

Are you heading to Moose?? If so I will go out and join you.

Looks like we're fully on for sunday, none of my riding buddies can get out saturday. Hope to see you out there!

I'm starting to get tired of my current career. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to teach Art...

yeah...riding bikes at whistler with pints mixed in at the GLC patio is 2x awesome.

You mentioned being an Art Teacher in your post. Where are you teaching? How do you like teaching? Tell me more...

Yo dude, Lucky you, i've still got the rest of this week then exams next week. At least they are half days. We will get out for sure for some diggin and beering, only got a few small projects this summer so i'm planning lots of workin out at moose and lots of time shredding my face off!

Whistler is awesome. Riding bikes is fun.

I downloaded the. Video you can view it ony profile

Its Travis! Silver Dodge guy. We are plannin on sunday for sure. any time your going out to build i'm in! I have a bunch of pressure treated 4x4's under my deck from changin the handrail to glass. They are in good shape and about four feet if you think we can use them I'll haul them out! I'll get a count today but I bet there is at least 40

Thanks for the ride up last night! We had such a good day workin with you, can't wait to get out again! We had an amazing ride down ROS to end the day!

Where and what time d'you wanna me to meet you??

Next time I'm in your hood, I'll give you a shout.

There was discussion in the background. It likely wasn't pleasant on either side. Regardless, thank you for the slap in the face. I needed that. Completely serious.

That's why I did it initially, before it got out of hand. Notice I didn't pull rank towards the end of it, I steered it back on course without banning. You missed a lot behind the scenes. I'm not going to get into the PM with you, as it'll be biased, which would give him an unfair wrap. I assure you, everything I said was warranted.

For the sake of not continuing the topic in the thread, the "Time out" way of putting it seems to evoke the least amount of reaction. That's what I've personally noticed, so it's what I stick with.

Ah, cool. I have been affiliated with private schools since nursery so I am pretty familiar with the politics and the attitudes of people who don’t attend such schools. It’s a common misconception of many people to exaggerate the attitudes and beliefs of the students who attend such institutions when they don’t necessarily go there. My first “public school” experience was university.

what do you recommend?

hey, I was just curious, I'm repainting my specialized deviant helmet. I'm sanding it all down and then I'm gunna coat it with a white paint layer and shapie the helmet and clear coat it. What type of paint do you recommend?
