BUMMER!!!!!


Georgia's quarterback AND RB are both leaving early for the NFL. we all guessed they would be hoped they would stay. Joe Cox is still a great QB and there is always talent coming in. Trevor and i saw Joe save the day at the Colorado game. HE CAN DOOO IT!

to many projects in one room....

okay...let me explain. so the wall has no drywall. after the big storm, we had a large amount of water come in through a couple of places. long story short i had to remove the paneling and do some work. i just need to get some old paneling or ideally some drywall and get it hung. sounds easy enough. right...... the silver snare drum is one acquired from a trade. the shop vac is just an all round cleaning (not that you can tell) mostly from the wall project.) the bare shell on the left side also has another smaller shell in it. that was a project that started oh....6 years ago. never wanted to spend the money to get it where it needed to be. there they will sit. i still hope some day. the three red drums are the new kit that replaced the old kit. the new kit is from Jan 1966 replacing the old kit from Feb 1993. the cymbal on the ground is from a sale that fell through so it was on the rack on the left but i had to get a chair out so i had to move it. yeah it looks bad. i need a warehouse. thank goodness the Gretsch kit is at Jeff's!!!!


Some pics of the new kit....

Still running. i ran 3.25 Friday and 6.0 on Saturday. 10k in 2 weeks in Ft. Wayne and i am really looking forward to that. obviously i want to improve my time from Chicago. we'll see how that goes. this race was described as "scenic" which to me means "hilly". i have these next 2 weeks to get all ready.
Gotta run.

August miles ran.....

52.2 miles run in August!!!!!!!! I am starting to prep for my next race. October 26 in Ft. Wayne. the River City Rat Race. 10k. might need to finally break down and buy some new shoes. i like my asics but i really have a thing for theses


I'm sure there are other things that i should be writing but i can't think of much. i sold (well it's in the process) of getting of my first drum set. my parents bought it for me for my 16th birthday. i used that kit so much. i gigged on it. stripped it down to then wrap it in velvet (oh yes) and made tons of improvements to it. i sold it to a friend who's son is learning to play so i feel that it will get another life. still eyeing a second kit to have. Vintage stuff is so cool but addictive.

Thats all i got for now. off to check Facebook

Wow....it has been a REALLY long time since i've posted!!!

...and yet, i don't have much to say. hmmm. well i guess the big thing that i have coming up is the Human Race 10k in Chicago. Pretty excited about it really. They have a realy cool video. still can't quite tell if this is the first year. i keep seeing stuff saying that it is but the video looks as if it isn't. Not that it matters. 6.2 miles in Chicago is pretty cool either way.


I did finally get the John Mayer DVD. Very Good. okay, thats covered. next topic...


Georgia football is getting close. Most polls have them in that horrible #1 position. your pretty much doomed to start #1. thats okay. should be a good year.


The new house is going well. Mom has painted like crazy and we are getting settled in well.
i think thats all i have in me today. Later all
