12 Mile Issue – Update

Yesterday was my first day of physical therapy.  They confirmed exactly what I had suspected – that the 12 mile issue was a result of training that had been ramped up way too fast. Really, that was just a polite way for them to say that I obviously didn’t listen to my own common sense [...]

I’ve got a 12 mile issue.

It’s an issue with my ankles, knees and hips.  It’s an issue that’s not really new, just different in how it’s started happening lately.  It’s a frustrating issue. It’s an issue that has me nervous about the marathon next month.  And, it’s an issue that I can’t seem to find a fix for.

Near Death Experience in Grand Cayman

I hadn’t posted in a while so I thought I would catch everyone up on the latest happenings…
Just got back from a vacation on Grand Cayman Island – it was awesome. White sand beaches, crystal clear water. It was very relaxing and a ton of fun, and I almost died. That’s right. [...]

Unicycle Man!

Every so often when I’m riding the trails around OP Scnhable Park I see this guy and am amazed every time.

In the video below, he just rides a simple circular route so I could get a sample video for Beanarita.com. -Normally when I see him he’s flying down the trails, climbing over boulders and [...]

The Music Behind BeanaritaShirts

There once was a band called Cinderleaf…then they were called June…then they went to The Cinderleaf. Then they decided to stop playing…then they decided to stop playing for good (actually announced over the radio that they would never play again)…then they played one more show. And then a couple more.

The wife is pregnant!

In the picture above, the baby is 11 weeks and a few days along. Sorry, the scanner I used is garbage so the image quality is bad. The white fuzzy thing you can barely see above the head is it’s hand. When we were watching this on the monitor at the Dr.’s office [...]

The Dreaded Oink

Ok. Wash your hands more, take vitamins, ignore the media and all will be fine. The Dreaded Oink will pass just like the regular flu does every season.

Lunch with the MVT

So, one of the guys on the team is putting a vermi compost thingamajig together and had another co-worker bring him some worms to start it up. We all happened to be eating lunch at the time the worms were delivered, so naturally we started trying to bribe people to eat a worm.

Easter Beer

Today is Easter and the end of Lent. I’m not Catholic so I’ve never really done the whole Lent thing of giving something up for 40 days as a sacrifice. This year I felt compelled to give up something to support some friends so I gave up alcohol. All alcohol. Liquor [...]

The origins of Beanarita

As stated in the FAQ tab at the top of the page, a beanarita is a drink that was briefly described in the film “The Space Cowboy”, by St. Fudonny Originals. The drink was said to have been a successful mixture of a can of refried beans and a margarita.

My fish have been gettin' busy…

After a month of blogs about nothing more than mountain biking and Internet Explorer issues, I thought I’d post something completely different and…well, I was going to say random, but pretty much everything on this site is always random anyway. So, here’s another random topic for your consumption:
I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank [...]

Oh Come on.

Why would you boycott this place. It’s awesome here!
Check out some of the posts in the archives. Jessica Simpson, pool diving, off-roading, tiger vs. shark, watching me show off how little I know about running a WordPress site and much much more nonsense.
Also, a members only section is coming soon!
Thanks for stopping by [...]

IE Error Test Video

Internet Explorer Issues Fixed!

Well, sort of. Nothing will ever quite fix the issues with IE, but I have at least found the source of what was causing the viewing problem at this site. Seems IE doesn’t quite like my open source flash player that I embedded for a bunch of the videos. So, for a [...]
