S2 350 Rebuild update...
Because of everything else, this kinda got the backburner. I finally went back to it and decided I would "bob" the frame for more of a racer look...here is the beginning of that. I'll relocate the shock mounts inboard just a hair, cut a large section out of the frame, add some supports and make it good for a nice, low slung seat.

I can't believe we've been doing this shit this long.
If anyone remembers, a few years back Hank Young was selling oil tanks like this. They were actually made by Mike and Zack Saligoe (as were several of Hank's creations). This was chilling on Zack's welding table and he has since moved to Vegas. Last time I was there I grabbed it and told Mike that we were going to test fit it and possibly modify it for the next Shovel build. Well, it fits nice, so I guess with a few changes this will be the new oil tank for #2.

New toy...
So my Garage has it late night perks. A beer fridge, Go Kart with no brakes, and now I have added this little jewel. It hasn't ran in like two years or so the guy said. I am soaking the carb in some parts cleaner as we speak. The gas tank smelled like a Tijuana port-a-potty. I look forward to the late nights on this beast.
Dock Ellis...
Wanna hear some crazy shit? Read about Dock Ellis' 1970 No-hitter (the only in his career) in which he has said that he was tripping his ass off the whole game...
Here is the Wikipedia article on Dock. He was apparently a character. He even spent 4 innings of one game attempting to hit every player on the opposing team to "prove a point."

Seth's Shovel...
I shot these for Seth a while back with different intentions, but the pictures weren't exactly what I wanted and I didn't want them to get stale. I figured I'd post them here so they didn't go to waste. I'll redo them, Seth.
Big Baller...
For the low price of $12,500 you too can support abortions across America. Thanks Joe for lifting this off of Craigslist.

So this is Tim Barry former front man of Avail, most of you probably know that. Him and Ben Nichols of Lucero,Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music, Austin Lucas and a few others do a revival tour every year I have been to two of them. If you get a chance check all of the guys, Super talented group of guys always makes for a good show. Cheers!
A good day Saturday...
Drinking, cooking and football. If there was a way to add bikes and guns to that then it would be what I imagine Heaven is like.

Sons of Anarchy...
It's cool to call it gay, but wouldn't that make it cool if went against the grain? I dunno, I can't keep up with the hipsters today.
I actually like the show and I'd show Peg Bundy my chicken heart.
Season 3 starts tonight at 10pm.

The Horse #102...
If someone has a scanner and can email me a copy of "Buford Shovel Pt. 3" from this month's issue of The Horse, I would appreciate it. For some reason the people that live everywhere around me has the issue at the beginning to end of the week before it hits the newstands, but yet my issue still hasn't gotten here. Way to go subscription service. It would be nice to read my own fucking article.

Sunday Sunday Sunday...
So NASCAR was in the ATL this weekend. My Popps and I went down. Hard to beat night racing. 200 Mph at night is some seriously rad stuff. I also won some money on Tony Stewart so thats a plus thanks for my rotor and stator Mr. Stewart. Cheers!

Stolen from www.understand-a-bull.com...
The Pit Bull is probably the most misunderstood dog in the United States. People see them and cross the street out of fear and try to ban them from their cities. Why? Simply stated, lack of education on the breeds. The public only sees negative stories in the news. Pit Bulls are wonderful dogs in the hands of responsible owners just like any other breed. As with any dog, there will always be irresponsible owners and poorly bred dogs. That does NOT mean that all of these dogs are evil! The majority of domestic violence in the US is caused by men, are all men considered evil and dangerous, No. Then why would all Pit Bulls be dangerous because of a few bad owners?
For hundreds of years Pit Bulls were bred to fight dogs, certain traits were bred into the bloodlines for that purpose, high pain tolerance, high prey drive, etc. However a quality that was never bred into Pit Bulls was human aggression. Human "aggressive" dogs were undesirable as these dogs required extensive handling prior to and during their fights AND most of these dogs were also family pets so no human aggression was ever tolerated. Dogs that exhibited human aggression were typically killed, meaning that only human friendly lines were perpetuated and desired.
It has been said that a Pit Bull never met a stranger. They love and adore humans. They want so much to be apart of your family and spend time with you watching tv, walking, driving, etc. I have seen severely abused and neglected Pit Bulls who see you coming and they can't wait to be petted and loved. Even after the abuse, they want nothing more than to be with a family of their own! As with any breed there are exceptions to the normal temperament and behavior. We see this in humans as well, there are good ones and bad ones.
This Hits my Heart...
I seen the Hate Factory boys posted something about the BSL in Denver and Aurora. This is a real touchy subject with me. Wanna get me fired up talk bad about Pit Bulls or the US Military. I am a proud owner of two wonderful pits. It is sad to see Ignorant fucking politicians kill off a whole breed of dogs in a city based just on the way they look.I wonder if there is a Politician in Denver with the last name HITLER. I put a photo of my two dogs with my niece. When are people gonna get it, the killer is on the other end of the leash. FUCK DENVER POLITICIANS! I have some guns that need to be shot, I dare you yuppie scum to try and take mine.
Proof that Guns Prevent Crime...
Messing with the wrong dude on his way to work Dumbass protesters. Sorry it's in Portuguese.
