Jake Ass

I just talked tohim and Jake Slone is on a hot trail from washington state head back to the A/O. Really lookin foward to it and Smile cause you never know when you might show up in WBM or AW. man gotta name for himsel THEASE DAYS.

Spot re-visit


 
So I was really bored at work today but ended up getting sent on an intern errand. It just happend to be by one of or old spots. THE old spot to be exact. This was the first spot for me and others and even more the first spot I found (team effort here) . I cant even explain to you. We had a guy (Nate the owner to 12 gauge) drive down from indiana just for this. we pretty much risked it all just cause this spot i found . Scary as shit.  It was between a hospital and a university and we still went for it..... Man it went perfectly  and somehow we rode all day and never got hassled. 

We have re visited this spot over and over and now its played the fuck out. I mean shit, the shallowness, the hard ass rocks in the middle, the primate shit, the snakes etc. etc. we just cant really go there anymore.  pretty far away but it is what it is i guess.

I just had to look back I guess. I sure hope some new wincher finds it and has the same bliss as we have. yeah it sucks to us now but man it sure was the shit and started it all for a few of us. The fuel that lit my fire for damn sure.

Gotta love ya EG


But also...


Im by the airport on the middle right headed toward marietta. No Fuckin chance.



this fucking happend

Architecture


Alright were still in my hood but this is the last time for a wile. These are two houses that always stand out to me around here.


This one is bad ass. There was an old house here and they tore it down and built this bute. It's really the only new house in a neighbor hood thats 70 years old and somehow they made it work. A lot to be said for that.



I dont really like this one...but everyone else does. It used to have the biggest tree in the front yard but it fell during a storm last fall (russ tried to drive through the fallen tree in MY car I might add. It was real dark and rainy, we knew it was there but couldn't see anything so he just floors it and says "were going for it". It was fucked up but thank god it had been cleared.) I like the old trees tho and now thats its gone its just not the same. But now for some reason EVERYONE notices it and always really like it. Too  bad its value drastically droped as that old ass tree did. You can kind of see where they had to fix the wall from it falling.

Word up

PT Nation


I realized today that I am obsessed with the PT Cruiser game. If you are not familiar with it, you call out a PT color and or model when  road tripping. Collecting imaginary points, that will never be tallied or scored. Now I can't turn it off. I went ape shit the other day, cause I saw a Woody on dubs. I think  South Florida is the PT capital of the world, but there are enough in the metro ATL area to get a good game going. Try it on your next road trip, it make the time fly. 

Rules and Regs.
-Standard PT 1 point
-Custom (rims, graphics and excessive spoilers) 3 points
-Convertible 5 points
-PT Woody 10 points
-must be in a car
-no car lots
-minus 10 for false claimin (watch out for those HHR's)

Winch Spot Trout Game


Russ and I didn't really fell like winching but I guess we wanted to go visit some spots. We had been talking about going fishing for days but didn't really know where. Well, a lot of our winch spots are really nice places and we probably over look that sometimes. This spot aside of being VERY recognized in the winch community (one of the most famous spots, on the cover of In Its Travels) has a few trout in it. So we decided to give it a shot.

Me, Russ, The younger Slone Jermey and or buddy Fish decided to head to our little spot about an hour north  and came back with a cooler full of Rainbow Trout and a bad ass day to tell all our friends about.

VIctory Garden




Back during the great depression people started what they called victory gardens. Well times are tough again and I have a nice back yard so i decided to give it a go. As you see im well on my way and also have a nice little area plotted out back. Zucchini, squash, peppers and tomatoes. We will se what happens and ill keep updating for sure.

The small plant by itself is a pimento plant. I saw this at the seed and feed store and after my trip to augusta and there ballen ass pimento cheese sandwiches i decided i had to have it.

Freyer drive house


I really like this house thats right up the street from me. My granddad actually designed it back in the 50s when he was in school at tech. A lot of people say the 50s were a complete grey area in architecture but its my favorite.
Last night the Whatley crew and I headed out to turner field for the braves home opener. The game as delayed for a little wile due to a freaking monsoon but thanks to the pregame festivities nobody from our crew seemed to really care. we made it through the storm but headed out before the end... once again because of all the pre game festivities. The braves went on to win in the 10th at about 1:30 am. Looks like its gonna be a good year. Chipper is finally where he needs to be.

Architecture


 Derek Grasman's blog is hot right now and he always adds houses he likes. Well i think thats a great idea. My family is one of architects (dad and granddad have a firm) and i started out in school to be one. I figured out i could make more money and enjoy construction so i changed my ways a little but  still have a small eye for it. The only thing is I will be taking all the pictures of places I like and see on my own. The First building... My house.
If you see any you like take the pictures and well put it up.

QuickTRIP


This is somthing im gonna try. I have a QT right in front of my house and always find myself getting the most random things there. This is a pictures of a run I made a few weeks ago. More to come im sure.

Can't Wait till May



Like I said I like really good golf. Im getting to play this course (cypress point) in may. I played it when I was a junior in high-school and was like living a dream. I need to get to practicing.

Come one Come all


You better be there $$$$$

But also...


This is one of the sickest shots i have ever seen.

Givvin russ a hard time





Hahah check the last pic out. He was the first to hit this spot and actually got the cover for LaSewer for it. I guess it was a pretty good idea because nike decide to reproduce it and ambush decided to make it the entrance to their shop.
AWS also just did an article to on it and reproduce this shot one AGAIN with ANOTHER rider.

Other things I like


Golf. Most importantly really good golf. My 2009 masters tickets.
I got to go for the opening round and had a blast with my buddie ford hughes.
