Chard is in the same family of vegetables as beets, which is ironic since chard is so awesome and beets fucking suck.
Not a peep.
I told him some of us were concerned and just wondering where he's been, and invited him to call me back or chime in here.
did it still seem to be the correct phone num?
I dug up his cell (I bought a frame off him and met him in person) and fired him a text.
What's up pretty people?
Thanks to @Nick for reaching out to notify of worries of my presumed demise.
Sitting up at camp in Maine and voicemail came through on beer run this morning.
Life got a bit crazy over the winter so I hit the Fuck It button and did a hard life reset. Didn't want to go out with a bizutch style post so I pulled the Memphis Exit and slipped out unannounced.
Focused on my family (kids/wife awesome, CO fam FUBAR), dropped off the interwebz, went on a major health kick and shot lots of guns to blow off steam.
Still riding, maintaining the shed and living life thru an irreverent lens. Need moar Lounge in my life, as a quick skim revealed.
Time to go drown the boys on a tubing mission but I'll be back for doses of asshattery.
Hope alls well for everyone!

Massage last night. Holy shit am I sore this morning. Rain in the forecast, so in door time with the family.
Good to hear from you, Dan. You had us all a bit worried at the drop off the face of the earth aspect. Let us know when you come back into the civilized world, because I think there are a bunch of home and woodworking projects that need your feedback (I have at least one, but there are other woody guys here too!).What's up pretty people?

Met the lady and child for lunch at Panera, and as I was sitting feeding Winn a bottle, the older lady next to us said "it's nice seeing awesome dads like you." At first I was confused (albeit flattered), then she went on to explain how guys in her generation would rarely be seen feeding/changing diapers, etc.
i get that a lot too.
pro tip: take him grocery shopping mid week during the daytime. by yourself.
Laura has a bachlorette party this weekend, so this will be the first father/son only time since he was born.
Baby + cute as hell dog = chick magnets.
do you have an ergo baby? (or something similar) hands free dad duty + beer pouring
We do have some type of swaddle holder type thing the girlfriend uses quite a bit, but I'm too freaked out about using it myself. If he's with me, I typically just carry him in the car seat or stroller for longer trips.
My best friend and his wife got us an Osprey Poco AG pack for Christmas last year, and I'm just counting down the days until he's big/strong enough to use it. Thing is sweet.

I miss those days sometimes. I had a lot of father/daughter time when she was little and I took her with me everywhere. Hell, I still did that until just recently.
I love the fact that the man child and I have been exchanging. But I miss my daughter and she seems really pissed for reasons nobody but her knows, I guess.
On an even more depressing note, Bman failed is UPS written test and can't retest for 3 months. So back to the warehouse for that jackass. Needed an 85 to pass, got an 81. SMH.
trust me, learn to use it.
Mmm, beets...
Rode with @Bunnista this morning, almost got carried away by mosquitoes and deer flies... although she claims not to the woman gets air...
Just got my custom insoles back from repair..... It was a long three days
I'm all for using the baby bjorn/ergo baby deal. I'm not too fond of relying on some fabric properly folded/tied for him not to fall onto the floor.
we have a moby wrap too, more of a pain in the ass to setup than an ergo, but not as hot in the summertime.
It would be perfect for you Captain Ahab.
NOBODY LISTENS TO TECHNO!!!It would be perfect for you Captain Ahab.
FYI: it's raining again over here in trail-land. If it doesn't downpour trails will be $$$$$.
Weather radar doesn't look so promising. Big band is supposed to roll through around 5 and then some after. I drove up 70 a bit during lunch time (test driving vehicle) and it appeared quite foggy up there.
Methinks todays ride = not happening
Just the Tacoma with new mods or a new deal?! I still have a seat for you, btw.
Nope, went for a ride in a newish Tundra. Just to see.Just the Tacoma with new mods or a new deal?! I still have a seat for you, btw.
Today's drive home was brought to me by Run The Jewels. And enhanced by the acquisition of a most excellent 4 pack of local double IPA.

5.7L would tow that camper with some verve. I wish I had the 5.7L... but in the 100 series body.Nope, went for a ride in a newish Tundra. Just to see.
Methinks the camper is gone regardless. Thought about doing a truck + slide in camper but not sure that'd fit the bill well either. I think we keep coming back to the Tacoma + small cargo trailer, but that's not 100% either. Just busy playing the game of compromises and putting on my fiscal responsibility cap.
The 5.7 did have pretty good grunt. I suppose 380hp & 400 lbft is nothing to sneeze at. If we keep my truck I'm throwing around the notion of installing a blower or swapping to 4.88 gears. The 4.88s would certainly turn a set of 35s nicely.

Dibs on your Tacoma if you trade up.
mountains or coast (or both, i guess, if acadia)?
I'll be there mid September. I wanna go December/January some year.
