Kanza got Covid…ed

Welp, lots of events got cancelled in 2020, and for whatever reason you can bet they all fell under the great viral umbrella of covid. Dirty Kanza is one such event. It has since recovered, but not unchanged. Now, renamed Unbound Gravel, I personally wonder if this is the same event I fell in love […]

The Gravel Road to DK200-2021

It’s hard to research gravel cycling and not soon become aware of a phenomenal gravel ride known as Dirty Kanza. Ok, it’s probably impossible. For those who haven’t heard of it, the Dirty Kanza 200 is a two hundred mile gravel bike race through the flint hills of Kansas. Since I discovered its existence, shortly […]

You Don’t Need to go to the Amazon for a Clock, Pt. 2

Ok, we’re back, and the glueing went well. We’re all stuck together. Now, time to iron out the wrinkles. In this case, sand them out. Won’t take long, but I’m confident that I can still manage to suspend ample enough quantities of wood particulate matter in the air to cause me serious sinus distress. Yep, […]

You Don’t Need to Go to the Amazon for A Clock, Part 1

So, my wife says to me, “I need a clock for my new remodeled office space you carved out of that teenager’s old room for me…a big ole’ one.” “Ok,” I says back. No point in arguing. I go to my old trusty stand-by–Amazon–because where else would I go? And by “go there” I mean […]

Placing Inspiration

Sometimes, I leave notes for myself in places I may one day revisit. Sorta like my own personal fortune cookies. Some are funny, some blunt, others are strange–thought proving–forcing my imagination into high gear. Whatever wisdom they provide, they almost always inspire me in some way. They make me laugh (who doesn’t need that?), ponder […]

April Showers Bring May…Tomatoes?

  Its been a weird year. Our three-day winter here in central Texas has mother nature standing on her ear. My fruit trees are still putting on leaves. Best me and Google can tell, this foliage delay is due to insufficient chill hours. I dislike chill myself, but I agree it’s a necessary evil. Why? […]
