I’ve done a few river clean up days recently and it’s comical tragedy fishing these soy sauce containers out of the water. It’s a good painting Mark.

We love a tea called Bengal Spice (B Spice) by Celestial Seasonings. Caffeine free. Kinda in the realm of chai. Dash of milk. Usually before bed.

I’d say it’s used semi frequently in skate photography. Typically a close shot with a wide lens. The tilt might be to realign the viewer with the skaters body position and show the extreme angle of the trick.

I’m a daily rider/commuter by motorcycle and I’d love to get an electric bike. I don’t think I’d miss shifting gears at all, but (and I’ve been thinking about this) I think I’d like to have some kind of electric “clutch” that doesn’t work at all like a regular clutch but performs a similar function. In this case it would adjust the throttle map. Clutch full in = throttle does nothing. Clutch full out = aggressive or linear throttle map. I have not actually ridden any of the high end e-motos to know if this is necessary, but in my mind I would miss the ability to feather the clutch.

Looks like a scene from the music video for Dashboard by Modest Mouse. Very cool!

Generally I try to have a creative, hands-on project on the go. Lately that’s been rebuilding a guitar, but it could be designing something on the computer.

Otherwise; playing guitar, gardening, practice putting (disc golf). So I guess hobbies.

Songkick? I’ve been using it for a few years and it works reasonably well. I believe you can connect it to Spotify too. The only negative is it’s usually 3-5 days behind the announcement of shows. Following the artist directly is still the best bet to guarantee you hear it straight away. But that’s only a problem if the show/artist is super popular and sells out fast.

Following sports. Being a die hard sports fan is time consuming and stressful. Obviously betting on sports is an addiction people talk about now, but even tipping comps and fantasy football type leagues are things that rob you of time and energy.
