and my mom will now be happy that i've managed to bump the photos of dog poop and puke off of the front page of the blog.

in other news, i've decided the best way to cure my lack of motivation to ride in the last month by throwing money at the problem. a new vehicle is nearly finished being cobbled together in the garage with a springy thing up front and a select few toothy things outback...

major photo dump. some photos from my rainey trip to tok for starters. i went up there with the main purpose of checking out some land that i had interest in purchasing. it rained the entire way up and most of the way back. the land was good, dry, level, thickly treed, good well depths, on a road, in a town, free of taxes* and close to trails. *by free of taxes, i mean that the only taxes i would have to pay living there would be federal income. no prop, no sales, no state income. yeehaw!

i didn't question the decision to buy untill i got back down into the matanuska valley coming through sheep mtn and chickaloon. incredibly gorgeous area with great trails and big mtns, closer to everyone i know up here. but land there just costs more than i'm looking to spend. so i bit the bullet on tok earlier this week. once the guvmint get's the contract prepared sometime in the next 6 months, i will be the proud owner of 5 acres of land in a town who's average winter temperature is -30. that's average, and negative.

some photos from riding in chickaloon on the way back. the rest of the trips photos are crappy due to weather conditions.









the next anything worth mentioning, aside from being a shiftless layabout getting fat on the couch, was this ride up and over powerline pass to indian. the ride took much longer than expected, but was overall very pleasant and chock full of scenery. the trail up was fun and challenging, the trail down was steep as all hell and fun. i kept trying to jump the waterbars on the way down, only to end up going way too fast when my tires hit the ground and barely making it through the next turn. let off the brakes for a second and your speed nearly doubles. really fun stuff for those with a spare set of brake pads laying around.

at indian, we rode straight to brown bear, which is the only biker bar i could imagine that has microbrews on tap and welcomes skinny guys in spandex in a thankfully platonic sort of way....



















totally platonic... tha bathrooms being behind that wall mean nothing...

hi, my name is cami, i'm a samoyed, and i'm an outside dog.



i WAS an inside/outside dog, but then i decided to do this over the course of 4 days! yay!













i kind of had and excuse because i was sick, as you can see i puked. but i prolly just got sick from eating a mouse and some other strange object AFTER the first peeps and poops i did inside the house. but i got left outside after those, then i got better, then i got to sleep inside last night and today i decided this was ok.





i'm cami's brotha from anotha motha chet. i'm a good boy and highly intelligent. here you can see that i have invented a method of keeping myself on my back for cooling purposes. all i have to do is twist my back like this and wedge my mouf under this big thing with the drawers and i can air out the junk for days!
