Is Slider Alive?

Just checking. And calling him seems like a lot of work.

Crawford County, Don't Let Me Explode

After a somewhat disappointing fireworks display at the Black Hawk golf course, my life partner and I decided we needed a little R&R and some kickass fireworks. So yesterday, we got in our car and drove to my family's cabin in Prairie du Chien.

The PDC is a pretty quiet river town about five minutes from Iowa, about two hours west of Madison. On our way through town, my inner 12 year old perked up, and we bought some big sexy fireworks. By the way, I now have a Class C license, so if you need me to set off some manly fireworks, gimme a call.
We didn't stay long in the PDC, just long enough to go for a kayak, get some beer, and blow up fifty bucks. When the beer, fireworks, and part of my thumb were gone, I got a little restless.

So my life partner and I jumped in the car. Only this time, I took the wheel. Oh that's right, j.patrick finally learned to drive stick this weekend. A little reverse practice, some hill stops and starts, and practice getting it into 4th in under ten seconds. My life partner endured many sloppy gear changes, but holy crap it was fun.

I drove home from the PDC and only killed it once. Not bad for my first rural highway driving I'd say. All in all, a highly productive weekend, thanks Crawford County.

I've Got Serious Training To Do

As you may know, I pride myself on my Guiness drinking abilities. Unfortunately, it looks like I've got some serious work to do.





Soon enough, I hope to post my own video. Until then, you'll find me training. I'll need all of your support.

New Websites Allow You To Obsess and Spend Money!

Did your office catch you looking at TBR too often and ban it? Are you looking for a new website that you can update constantly at work while simultaneously blowing your paycheck on frivolities? I've found the perfect websites for you.

The way these websites work is somewhat interesting. They sell only one item at a time, but at pretty good deals (50-70% off) and on pretty good brands. They sell the item until it sells out or time runs up. I've seen snowboards usually at $600 selling for $240 and all sorts of other decent deals. Each sight sells a slightly different style of thing:

Steep and Cheap - Primarily camping, hiking, mountain sports type equipment and clothing
Chain Love - Primarily biking equipment and clothing
Whiskey Militia - Primarily surf and skate equipment and clothing

Steep and Cheap is my personal favorite, but only because I've got no need for bike jerseys or plaid boardshorts. Pages refresh every 15 min to hour, so have that F5 button ready!

Some Apologies and Requests for Clarification

Hi World, I just want to apologize for drinking all your alcohol last night. I don't think there's any left.

Also, Grebutron, sorry about breaking your glass during that overzealous cheers. I feel that maybe that was a pretty GOL move.

Could someone please clear up the following? WTF did I eat? Because it pretty much looked like lawn clippings. Also, what happened to Willips Bittycook an Jeremy? Was I the only person that drank too much? Why did we go to State Street Bar?
