MY MANHOLE!

Well it seems they got me! Or my manhole has been gotten. It seems these guys have teamed up with the Decepticons.
My manhole fought the good fight, and bent the Decepticon that attached me, but in the end I think it was the Decapticon that won. This is What that little bastered looked like, if you happen to run into him.
I suppose the whole thing could have happen by chance. Or I was being careless. By, I don't know, maybe taking the CD/DVD tray off of the printer to get being the stack to plug in a serial cable and set the try down on my chair and then forgot that the tray was there an sat on it bending it and stabbing myself in the bum (said like a little kid trying to tell a whole story in one breath).

Moving on.

So we have had a rash of celebrity deaths this past week and weekend. In my opinion the worst of them all came on Saturday. Gale Storm past away. She was 87 and lived the good life. She most recently stared in an episode of "Murder She Wrote" in 1989. What a wonderful roll she played.



She was given a star on the walk of fame. Obviously before she died. How else would they get a hand/foot print in the concrete. Speaking of her fame. The Washington Post and CNN (along others) have some nice Bummer Beat write-ups on her.

Wait, did you think I was going to talk about MJ, Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett or Ed McMahon? Hey! about 155,000 people die a day. What about the rest of the celebrities! People like Sky Saxon of The Seed.

OK. That got out of hand. It got really depressing, fast.

In happier news! The Meepers and myself got together at my parents house to get some work done. We recently purchased a Dremel kit and got to work getting ride of all the access on those pesky stock floorboards.

Well the lower half of the stock boards also protect the bottom of the gas tank and fuel filter. Well me being the paranoid person that I am, I did not want to fully take the boards off and leave myself and The Meepers open to disaster. Though many claim they have had 0 problems over the course of years. But The Meepers and myself often venture out in so-so weather conditions that often result in rain. I believe most of these other guys don't ride in the rain. Seeing as they have much more money into their Ruckuses than I do. And lots of engine swaps.

Any way. I had this:And what i essentially did was cut all the access off leaving just the bottom pan and the holes that mount it to the frame. It was really hot and I broke all of my cutting discs so I didn't take photos as I went along.

Stupid me thought "Hey, it's a nice day out. I'll do the work in the front of the house instead of in the nice cool garage." So after a while of working, sweating my bum off, and braking all of my cutting discs (I had to Jerry-Rig the last one to finish the job), I was in a bad mood, and forgot to take photos. But the finished product looked like this: (borrowed from bash3r over at Total Ruckus)


Any way. After stopping to fill up The Meepers with some racing fuel, we were on our way. And immediately we his 43 mph on the flats. That was a 1 mph gain than we were riding at before. When we hit a down hill, we hit 44 ish mph. So, cutting off all that access, also cut down on wind resistance.

Next week I am going to flush out my coolant, and install this with some new coolant.
I bought this last fall, and never installed it. Time to get caught up!

Commercial break: (Lunch time out. Must film for work)

Back.

While in the photo studio filming, I can hear "Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump." It started poring out. And me being the tired person I am in the morning, forgot to go back outside after mt pipe cooled down to put my rain cover on. Well I was in the middle of filming, so I couldn't run outside. Plus The Meepers was already soaked at this point. So I finished the shoot and went to go check on him, and I'll be damned, he is almost dry already. It is really humid out sight now, and the ground is steaming as the water is evaporating. Good thing I washed him yesterday.

This all took place in the last 20-30 minutes by the way.

That is all, carry on.

WAY TO RUIN MY BLOG!

I had a really messed up video here, but the site took it down. I will leave the code here for a spell. I hope it is down for some technical error, and not because it most likely shows a man die.

Well it is there if you click on the link, so watch it. Maybe there is a code error and it will pop back up on here.

Holly Cow, watch this.

Two Scooters Slam Into Traffic - Watch more Funny Videos

Well now. That does not look like fun. Apparently these two fine gentlemen were racing each other and lost it. As you can see man number one not only slides under car number one, but bounces off and gets hit by car number two. He bounced off camera on the left side of the screen and does not come back on screen.

Man number two, slides under car number two and bounces off the rear bumper. Well I guess that bumper did it's job. But man number two gets up and walks away from the crash. I guess that means he won the race.

You will not find The Meepers and myself doing such foolish thing. The only thing you will find us doing it riding in the rain. Poor Meepers is out there right now. Let get a weather report.

The Meepers and myself are located within this 12 miles radius.

As you can see, as I can too, the map says the rain is no longer above our heads. I will have to take a potty break soon so I can look for myself. Now I need to make some PP so I can go to the potty.

Moving on. This weekend I plan on finally buying a dremel and taking care of a pesky plastic infestation The Meepers seems to be having. By this I mean I am going to cut some plastic parts off of The Meepers to make him even more esthetically pleasing. I know, I know, much like my amazing Turd Cutter, you didn't think that was possible. But it is!

Pictures on Monday.

Well today is pretty busy, and I am eating my lunch late. So I really must run. When Tim is out of the office I seem to get crazy requests. More so then when the two of us are both sitting in this little cave.

That is all, carry on.

Rape My MANHOLE!

So if you remember yesterdays post, I was talking about Verizon DSL (among other things). Well look here how Facebook (where most of you, if not all, get linked to this blog) phrased the first line of the blog.
Well I find it interesting that they (the computers that rule the world) chose that as the intro. there were other words preseeding that line, but oh well. I guess they feel a need to rape my manhole as well. Though I didn't give them any reason to. Mother nature however, did give them a reason on my behalf.

I am sure some of you know about the extraordinary Turd Cutter I am in possession of. It is a thing of beauty. I did not ask for this honor, it was bestow upon me at birth. It is really more of a curse than anything. People of all ages, makes and models stair at my ass and want a piece. So I guess I really can't blame these guys for wanting to rape my manhole to.
They do look menacing after all. He has a pretty big "Gun." Get your mind out of the gutter I was talking about the weapon in his hand, not the metal between his legs!

And I know you are wondering, yes, 49cc are enough to get me away from the throngs of fans. The Meepers is very agile for the quick turn and cutting through a parking garage and hoping out the pedestrian walk way. Great machines these Honda Ruckuses. Any the ECU in them is Skynet Prof. Honda made sure of that.

Have you ever seen the old photos of the Beatles? The ones where crazed fans come from all walks of life to just get a glimps? That is my bum!
Why am I not posting a picture of my bum on the Internet you ask? Well I d not want to break the Internet again. I seem to have a habit of doing so. And if I did post a photo, the Machines will track me down and RAPE my manhole for sure!

Moving on.

This story will be Ironic, you will find out why at the end.

It was very hot yesterday and I drove The Meepers to JT's. I was wearing my leather jacket. When I got there JT asked me why I was wearing it and then Kim asked why I wear a leather jacket to rid in as well. She asked if it was to keep the bugs from hitting me. I reply, well that is one of the reasons, but mainly the leather protects you if you fall.

Fast forward.

Later that night after fixing JT's bike, we were sitting on his back deck. We were finishing a beer and I was getting ready to leave when we hear: "Weeeeeeeeeeeee Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (sound of a sport bike being revved, POP grumble grumble (sound of metal on metal)." This lasted a second or two, then we hear: "Crack, smash (plastics hitting the ground) grumble grumble (plastics grinding the ground), Smash (metal hitting the ground) grumble grumble (metal grinding the ground)."

I got up and started walking to the gate that enters the ally behind his house, saying "I think that guy went down." JT and Kim were fallowing me, but still a ways behind me. I saw people running, so I turn and say "YA! That guy went down!" We run to the next street to see what's what.

We get there and there is a GSX 750 (I think it was a 750, it was big, but all I could see was the lower part of the fairings and the bottom of the bike. I am a little out of practice on my sport bike eye recognition.) laying on the ground on the sidewalk on it's left side facing the wrong way down the road. Gas and oil are leaking every where.

There is a young kid sitting on someones steps by the bike, He is bleeding and obviously the driver of the bike. His clothing included mesh shorts and a T-shirt. There was a helmet laying by the bike.

It looks like he slid maybe 20 feet from point of impact (laying the bike down). It also looks like he managed to get on the right side of the bike as it was going down.

The road ends at a T and he had made a right turn at the T onto the road he wrecked at. He was about 30-40 yards down the road when he lost it. My theory is, he is a newbie, tried to wheelie and be cool and lost it. Gunned the throttle all the way once the wheel was up (Hence the popping motor) then went back onto the tail (think 180 bar) bike then went down and he got on top of it. Slid fir a bit until the bike hit the curb. Then tumbled to a stop himself.

All theories aside, I am glade this kids seemed OK. He was walking around and talking to people. We left when all the cops got there because there was beer involved in out group standing there. So I am not sure if he refused the ambulance or not.

Remember I said there was some Irony. After we see this sight, I turn to Kim and say: "That is why I wear a leather jacket."

That is all, carry on.

Verizon Wants to Bend Me Over, but AZ Makes me happy.

Verizon wants to Rape my manhole! But this makes me happy
So I am in for at least 10 hours on the phone with Verizon DSL services. My latest attempts had me write down numerous phone numbers and bounced me back and forth from Tech Support to Billing far more times than I can count on my figures. I was very aggravated and upset, so I went over to Total Ruckus and Wrote a Thread about my experience with Verizon.

This thread is very scatterbrained and hard to read, because well, I was still furious. So if you want to attempt to read a more in depth breakdown of the events that happened on the phone, read this. Or comment with an email address and I will be glad to respond.

This is how i felt after getting off the phone. Minus shoving a TV remote in my but.


But then I looked at this photo I took in my kitchen last night. And I just had to smile. If you remember back when I remembered to do REVIEW MONDAYS, I wrote one about this delicious nectar of the Gods. And While stopping for cigarettes, I wanted to purchase a few drinks. I normally buy 7-10 at a time. Well I looked in the fridge and there were ZERO, I was saddened. Then I turned around and saw that beautiful sight above. After taking a few out, Amy said "Why don't you just buy the whole case?" I just looked at her with a new profound respect, and thought, this is why I love you.

I was talking about Amy, not the Ice-Tea. Or was I.....

So after this ordeal with Verizon, I come to find that I have not paid my bill in the past 3 months. They tell me this is why my service is suspended. I think, then say, OK. Why was I not contacted and told I didn't pay my bill? Then they tell me, "Well we sent you an email, and then a notice in the mail."

So being at work, I had Internet, so I go to my email and check, and sure enough no email telling me I am past due. Instead I found an email trying to sell me up-graded service. Then I tell them as far as the bill in the mail goes, I am holding it in my hand. It says i owe $0.00 by June 28.

My concern here is it is not June 28 yet, so my service should still be active for 4 more days, and the bill says I own no money. Any way I had to threaten to cancel and they fixed it. And by fixed it I mean charged me $100 to turn my Internet back on.

Moving on. Today after work I am going to research a Ducati Monster Tail Light for The Meepers. I am really looking forward to getting rid of this tail light set up.Then maybe The Meepers will come out of hiding.

OK, so there was a thread of rain that day. Then the sun went ahead and came out for a spell. Literally a spell, it turned me into a Bad Ass for a while. Drinking warm milk, and playing rugby.

In other news. For the past week or so, my shoulder has been bothering me. My left shoulder to be specific. This is because I carry messenger bags. And I do so with my left shoulder. No I am not a messenger, but I ride a bike (The Bianchi) and a scooter (The Meepers) as you know. As you may also know I recently (past 2 months) got a R.E.Load bag for my birthday.

Well, I am not sure if this pain stems from the fact that the still relatively new R.E. Load bag has a very stiff heavy duty strap on it (I have heard it takes upwards of a year to get it broken in), or the fact that I have been rocking messenger bags for 15 years now. My shoulder may be saying "HEY! It's time to think about backpacks." Or it could be saying "Hey this R.E. Load bag is to stiff and the shoulder pad sucks."

As you may have read,a week and a half ago I went in search of the perfect Messenger Backpack. My be my brain was subliminally foreshadowing the future of my health to me. I was wondering why I had the overwhelming urge to look for Messenger Backpacks, when I didn't use them and had minimal interest in them.

Needless to say, I now have interest in them. Though I refuse to stop using my practicaly brand new $300+ R.E. Load bag. Maybe an off and on thing. Maybe I'll switch back to my old Chrome bag (note, mine is Kelly Green) for daily use for a week and see how that works out. I never had a problem with that strap.

Side Bar: I just noticed that Chrome seems to be not making their Kremlin bag anymore, and it is currently in the Backdoor Sale page for $139. That is a good price.

Back on track.

I am also going to try and invent my own shoulder pad this weekend. I think I have some closed cell foam, but I do not think I have any Cordura to wrap over it. I guess I will have to dig around at home.

Also as far as Messenger Backpacks go, even though I said I think the best bag out there is the Chrome Warsaw, I am rethinking the Seagull. I failed to click on the "Order" link during my searching to see the features one can add to that bag. I figured you could, but with out reading them, I wasn't fully informed. Though I think the Chrome will still win out, because I do like their pocket set up much more. But I do love Seagulls U-Lock holster. It seams to swallow the lock, so you can use a full size U-Lock, or a mini and not worry about it falling out. Though Chrome has an inside pocket on their messenger bags that works fine for this and a mesh pocket on the outside. Thought I am a little leary that the mesh pocket is to shallow and the lock will fall out.

I have returned to add a bit of information I seemed to have forgotten over the years. While in college I had my old back pack fall apart. So I ran to Dick's to buy a Jansport to replace it right after class. I wasn't happy with the bag to much. I bought a simple black bag no frills kind of thing. I was a simple guy back then. But I couldn't seem to fit everything in it. So I dug up a old messenger bag I used in high school.

The reason I had switched back to a backpack was simple. Messenger bags suck while riding a skateboard. Though I prefer to not carry anything while on a skateboard, some times I had no choice. Might I add that the pack that broke was a skateboard specific bag that I made.

Well using the old Thrasher bag, I coincidentally bought from a skateboard magazine, I realized I was in love all over again. But this bag was not water proof. Living in State College, there was a great deal of walking everyday to get to class, the store, friends places. So I needed a new Bag, and I found Timbuk2.

Fast forward a few years. I was the proud owner of a motorcycle. So to ride I was and am still paranoid to fall off. So I wore leather jackets, and my style of choice was and is the Cafe Racer. Even though I now ride The Meepers, which is obviously not a motorcycle but a motor scooter, I still want to be protected. Any way, I lost my Timbuk2 bag, which has seems to happen a lot over the years (right now I know exactly where it is). So I grabed that old backpack I bought in college, and wouldn't you know! It is a pain in the ass to get on while wearing a leather jacket. Though my favorite leather jacket is an old heavy gauge blue and white cafe racer (stiffer and harder to get a backpack on while wearing), I wear my lighter gauge black Club jacket to ride in (unless it is cold, then it's a no brainier).

Either way, backpacks are a pain in the ass to use with a leather jacket. They don't exactly take away your mobility, but if they fit properly they are not loose and backpack straps can be cumbersome. Especially heavy padded ones. That's why I stopped wearing them really.

I was always wearing a Cafe Racer Jacket and I always have a bag. It is much easier to toss one strap over you head and adjust with one hand.

That is all, carry on.

The Glistening Morning Jew

So I found out today that I am Jewish and no one ever told me! After this shocking evidence was leaked to the media, I was informed of my situation.
I think the only viable option for me as of now, is to team up with Andy Sandburg and create and unstoppable comedy troupe! We can make amazing videos and host the on places such as You Tube, and Vimeo. Possibly create a TV show and air it on Friday nights, and call it Friday Night Live!

And yes, the exclamation point is part of the shows tittle. Why? because I like exclamation points. And yes that is a link to Austins Art Gallery.

Awww, pipe dreams. They are great. Andy Sandburg would never team up with me. He knows I myself am an unstoppable force. I wouldn't mean to steamroll his career, but once you get ahead of this train, there ain't no stopping it. I mean come on.

Even thought I just woke up and the left side of my face is puffy for some reason, I am still am good looking. I just want to pinch my cheek. The right cheek, I don't want to inflame the left one any more than it looks there.

Oh and in case you are wondering my eye is almost better now, I am wearing glasses because I literally was up for less than 5 minutes when I snapped this gem.

Back to the topic at hand. I am now Jewish. So I pose a few questions. Where do I go from here? I mean I was raised Catholic, and to be honest, I don't really know what goes on there either. I am not really a Church goin' kind of guy.

I also currently live on the border of the Jewish Neighborhood and the Ghetto. Which is ironic because of the origins of the term Ghetto. If you don't know the origins It stems from WWII and a brief and crappy history can be found at Wikipedia. Anwho, I think I am adequately placed for my deemed "Religion."

Moving on.

I am getting ideas for The Meepers. There are plenty of them happening. And I believe I have people that an help me do those pesky things, like mechanics. Because well, lets face it, I know nothing about that. I can do the "bolt on" stuff, and I feel confident that I can figure out how to rejet after putting on a new exhaust, but I feel safer with knowledgeable people helping me.

What I should do, it take a ride To Jersey and hang out with some of these guys. The N.E.R.D Crew makes some sick Ruckuses. To bad they are in Jersey. And we all know how I feel about Jersey.

As long as I can get one of theseand possibly one of theseI will be happy. Who knows how to install a Load Equalizer in a Honda Ruckus?

And lastly, for your enjoyment.
That is all, carry on.

I Got to the Party, and Everyone Drove!

So as some of you may know, this past Saturday was the Recycle on Adams Block Party.
As you can read, it was to promote local small business and "Alternative Transportation." What does that mean? Bicycles. It takes the place of last years Scranton Bike and Scooter Festival (Held in August). The Bike and Scooter Fest happened right after I got The Meepers, but I wasn't sure if I would have him in time (The 09' Ruckus arrival dates ranged from end of July to September). So I did not attend as I had work at a retail store (Not Quint's).

Well they were not promoting scooters, as you can see from the flier. But they were promoting bicycles. And I am sad to say I was pretty much the only one who showed up on a bike. Toward the middle of the day, a guy showed up on an electric bike. He rode around the block a few times then left.

I however sat there in the rain drinking my beer, listening to live music in the street and purchasing gifts from the vendors. Here is my proof.
My bike and bag getting nice and wet locked to a parking meter. You can make out another bike to the far left of the frame. That is the Chinese delivery mans bike. It is always locked there in front of the take out restaurant.

SIDE BAR:

On my way down to this wonderful event. I came to a 4-Way Stop Sign. I had the right of way, but an old woman in her car stopped halfway into the intersection. Needless to say I stopped at my sign. I did a track stand, TERRIBLY I might add, then she waved me on. I took two pedals into the intersection and waved "Thank you," as she began to drive her car through the intersection right at me. Had I been hit, that may have raised more awareness to cycling then the event taking place did.

BACK ON TRACK:

I know the rain was a deterrent for people to not ride bikes, hell it was a deterrent for people to not come at all. Attendance seemed lacking. But halfway through the day people didn't care about the intermittent rain and were walking around anyway. Including this character.

If you have spent any time in Downtown Scranton then you know this man. Franky LaPaglia. He is a fixture and one of the resident "Crazies," and I use that term loosely in talking about Scranton. He proceed to sit down at the table next to Morgan and I and eat Low Mein and making a mess of the joint. He asked everyone on the street if the "Knew him," and of course 85% of them did.

Also as you can see behind Franky, they set up a table in the middle of the road with information on, well I don't know I didn't read any of it. But anyway, the table was set up in the rain with no cover, filled with paper products. A really great idea to ruin paper when your festival is about recycling. I only hope they went into the blue bin, and not the black bag.

Did some one say Carbon Offsets!? Well that is what Morgan and myself decided we were. I rode my bike and he walked, so we off set two people driving SUV's. I only hope some people car pooled.

Well I did leave about 4:30, as it was Amy's birthday, and she had to work. The rain seemed to slow down some after I was a block from home. While I was riding home the rain seemed to pick up to a "disastrous" level. Then, calm down. But I dried off and put on some dry underpants, and was off in my gass guzzling Scion xA at 38 mpg to visit Amy at work. Still being a Carbon Offset to all the kids who drove down to Adams in their SUV's. I am hopeing after I left some more people showed up on bikes.

But if they didn't this makes up for it!



That is all, carry on.

I think I Used Up All the Internet

So at lunch today I was going to read some forums, comment ad possibly read a blog. But I was sad to see that there was very little "New"Internet today. I can only blame myself for this.

I think I both used up the available Internet and then proceed to break it. I ma unsure as to how I accomplished this great feat, but I am sure I did it in my sleep. I do not remember my "dreams" from last night, I have been awake for 7 hours so far, but I am sure they were unsettling.

I did snore myself awake this morning. I was then forced to get out of bed to get a drink to hopefully dampen my throat and snore quieter. All I have to say about that is, it didn't work. So I looked deeper into my plaguing problem.

The results were startling! Results show I had a crazy dream I cannot remember. Desperate for answers I lunged for the Internet! Only to find it was broken..... by me. I think my dreams had something to do with Zombies, as they often do.

In which case I must have thought to log into the Internet to fight back. I am some what of a Micah from Heroes with electronics.I can talk to electronics and they do what I want. While I was doing this to eradicate the world of the Zombies that were attacking inside my head, I must have busted most of the tubes involved in the Internet. I was still able to check email, so those tubes remain intact.

Alas it was all in vain because there were not Zombies, or were there? That or I had a different dream entirely. Again, I have no recollection of my dreams from last night at all only that I snored myself awake this morning.

Or the other answer, no one was posting and making the Internet new for me today. So I will do my part to bring yo new Internet. Even if it is outlandish, and over the top. Or entertaining and not over the top at all. Either way, I aim to please.

And after all, if I did break the Internet it was all for the better. I was just trying to make a clean get away on The Meepers.
Also, I found out how to make a blog look very long and time consuming. Just make it very picture heavy. I totally distracts from the content. Thanks to yesterdays BikeSnobNYC, I learned this lesson (I did find his pursuit of a possible school violation to be entertaining, but there was no real story there). Note, I thought I had found new Internet when I visited his blog today, but it turns out I didn't read yesterdays blog. Making me more desperate for new Internet this after noon.

I will now employ BikeSnobNYC's technique.



Here we see The Meepers day 1. Right after we returned home from Riders World. All the paper work was just signed and I drove 14 miles home. As of the time this picture was taken The Meepers was known as my Honda Rucks. He had yet to receive his name.

Here we have The Meepers last week at work. It had begun to rain so I ran out and covered him up. Only to have a few drops fall from the sky and then the sun come back out. But I was not an effort in vain. I as able to catch a photo of the elusive Tim in the background.

Speaking of work. There I am working last night. I was suppose to cover the owner of the company I work for throwing out the first pitch at the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees game. It decided to rain a lot. So I just got some B-Roll of employees hanging out and drinking a few cocktails.
I am glad you brought up cocktails. It is every other Thursday tonight and I will be at Coopers Seafood in Scranton tonight. Working on my Beer List. I am only 13 beers away from my 500 plaque. Who doesn't like a cocktail during a rained out baseball game or after a day at the office.

Speaking of a day at the office, here is a shot of the front of the building used for the external shots of the Scranton Branch of Dunder Mifflin from the NBC TV show "The Office." I had a request over at Total Ruckus for a shot, so I went ahead and took it.
Speaking of Scranton an being in need of a cocktail. The same day I took the shot of Dunder Mifflin, I walked past this gem. Quint's Army and Navy. It was/is a landmark in the city of Scranton. And a place I spent 10+ years of my life working. The pay sucked, but the job was the best I have ever had and will ever have. and 95% of my co-workers/employees were great. Seeing this building like this makes me want to toss back a few beers and shots of whiskey with The Meepers. He never got to know this beautiful home, but he does know Keefer's Army and Navy. That is the sister store for those wondering.
Here is a random picture. It is the artwork we used for Amy's new tattoo. Done by Elijah at Electric City Tattoo Gallery. It came out like this, as seen from an iSight picture from my Macbook Pro.

And below you will find a picture of Amy and I's Christmas Tree. It still stands today in our living room. We are getting ready for Christmas in July!That is all, carry on.

Scranton Based Company!

Well I was looking for Scranton Scooter based clubs and organizations and I came across this little tid bit. This company called Xooter (pronounced "zoo-ter") is a Scranton based company. Though I see they do not actually sell in the Greater Scranton Area. Trophy Bikes in Philly seems to be the closest place to buy. That or I think I saw online with free shipping. Scratching my head I wonder if i can walk to their business and just pick it up? I guess if your so bold you can find out for yourself. But here is their scooter.


They also make a folding bike and some accessories.

Here is the site I found that lead me to this Gem of a company in our own back yard. Where in our yard is it you ask? Well let me use the Google Machine and find out for you.....Flash forward a few minutes.

It is in fact on Rosanna Ave. That is right off of East Market street. Around the corner from Pat McMullens Pub. That means it is by Micky Gannons and the ever allusive Greenridge "The Plot."

So there you have it! We make push scooters and folding bikes in our own back yard! Not to be confused with The Backyard Ale House, which I do not like. I gave it a not so favorable review on Yelp.com. HINT: My name is not Scott and I am not from NY. If the Backyard Ale House was still The Silhouette, then the review would have been better (I am straight, and that bar was ridiculous).

But after all of this, I still did not find any new news on the original topic I was looking for. Which is are there any other scooter clubs in Scranton. I know of two, The Scranton Scooter Guild, and The Scooter Club of NEPA. Well I have my own I would like to start.

If you remember a few Review Monday's back (I know, I need to get on that), I talked about A Little Crafty Custom Embroidery. Well I had a Club Patch made. Because, well, I want to start a scooter club.
East Coast Ruckus (ECR). Yes it is based off of the model of scooter I ride, The Meepers is a Honda Ruckus. But I do not limit to only Ruckus scooters. All Scooters are welcome. As of now I do not have a "web page," meaning I have yet to make a MySpace site. But if you are interested in riding around, or have information on any scooter clubs, other than the two I have listed I would like to know. Knowledge is power, and I want to have more power than you!

What is the blog really about you ask? Well it is a series of side tracks. If you have had a conversation with me, you know that is pretty much ow my brain works. I start in one place and rarely ever finishes there. Well with out a little coaxing from the person listening to me talk about a blue hoodie for an hour (inside joke). But I will tell you this, my search started out for Scooter Clubs, and ended up learning about a local company I never know existed. So I wanted to share that. And as all my conversations go, it took a left turn. And I would also like to thank you for getting me back on track, and not asking me for a lighter. That would have been bad.

So I leave you with this. Enjoy.
That is all, carry on.

National Ride to Work DAY!

Well as I am sure none of you know, as I didn't know until this morning, it is National Ride to Work Day! For all you motorbike an scooter riders, today was your day to raise awareness of alternative transportation!

I was on the fence about riding today, as the crazy thunderstorm that happen early this morning. But after I read a thread about what day it was over at Total Ruckus, I "Cowboyed Up" and hoped on The Meepers. Last time I checked the rain was starting. So I put a cover on The Meepers to keep him nice and dry.

There is a nifty little web site called Ride to Work dot org that gives some information on the day.

I took the liberty of scrolling threw the photo section and found that there are in fact three photos of Honda Ruckuses. Fallow this little link here to see them. And of course I posted a photo of The Meepers, but I think they are discriminating against red Ruckuses. So I just posted again. I will check back soon to see if it went live this time.

Thought it was crappy looking out now (the sun could be shining right now for all I know, I work in a cave),
it was beautiful out this morning. So chances are, I would have rode today instead of taking the Egg.

Still no picture of The Meepers on Ride. This is a sad day for scooter rights! Tell me to drive in an oncoming thunderstorm, then don't give The Meepers props for dong it. Bastards!

Speaking of bastards, who uses Twitter? Well some of you may know I am an occasional Twitter User. Though you will not like to fallow me. If you do and complain, I will barrade you with insulting curses. Because, I have Twitter for one reason, to curse. A lot. A real lot.

Though I have slowed down a lot, I am still in the top 100 world wide. If I wasn't afraid Liz would punch me in the dick, and the leading coursers didn't use Bots to cruse every 60 seconds for them, I would be cursing up a storm.

And yes, my Twitter is also named for my scooter. You now you are jealous of my life. Who wouldn't be. I challenge all Nay-Sayers to an ASS OFF!

As you all know, or should know, I do have the best ass on the east coast! Hell I have the best ass in the world!

Watch out for this deadly weapon! If left in the sun it will melt you alive!

That is all, carry on.

TFGIF!

Thank Fucking God It's Friday!

That's right folks, Friday ha found it's way home. And this is a tad of a somber one for me. I am not going to really say why, but if you see me on the town tonight, I will not be.....ummm.... lets just say Human. Right now I still have a belly full of Chinese food, so I feel as though I can drink all of the alcohol in the state and not feel the least but buzzed.

But that is not going to stop me from trying to get the preferable "Fucked Up." I need to make a few stops and and take care of some things. Then home to eat again! Well I hear word it is super humid out, and by time I get home that will hopefully drain me of all life, and the belly of Chinese.

So on my lunch today I was on a mission to find the best cycling backpack. Don't ask me why, I prefer sling bags to backpacks. But I got it in my head I was going to find the best one. And I believe I did! It is in fact the Chrome Bags Warsaw.
This thing is BADASS! It has all the stuff I loved about Chrome and they made it better. Well from what I can see in the pictures. After all I have no first hand knowledge of this product. And for $280, I aint getting any. You can read the specs and see some pictures on Chrome's site here, or check out the Fixed Gear Gallery review of it here. Also a lot more pictures at FGG.

Short of getting a shoulder (my left has been getting a bit bothersome) or back injury and needing a backpack, I am sticking with slings. And I am still in love with my R.E. Load. Though I wish there were more pocket options I could have added. And I wish the strap would brake in already, but I read about people owning them for a year and the strap is still really stiff. I guess that just makes them a little more bombproof.

Back to these here back packs. I also really dig good old R.E. Loads Midpack. It looks pretty gnarly and they just re-designed it to stop it from leaking. I guess they were having an issue where water was coming in through the stitching on the back of the bag. And now that is weighing in at a hefty tag of $250. Check the Midpack out at R.E. Load here, or FGG has a review and shots of it here.

But wait! there are two more worth mentioning. Seagull does not disappoint, as always, and Zugster also delivers what seems to be a really nice product.

We will go with The Gull first. Here is a picture of the Seagull smaller Backpack, the large. They have some nice features to them and so like R.E. Load, they will do custom graphics on your bag. Now this makes an already expensive bag that much more. But then again, you will have it around for years, so you mine as well show off your personality. These bags weigh in at $230 and $260, respectively for size. For pricing and specs from Seagull here you go.

On to the last bag of the day! From Zugster we have their take on the messenger backpack.
Nice and sturdy looking. This here is also pulling in a base price of $230, just like the Seagull Large bag. Check out the specs from Zugster right here! Sorry no real luck looking for a real review f any Zugster products.

For point of reference of what I am rocking now you can look right here!

Any who, all of these bags are made right here in the US of A! and it is kind of an East vs. West kind of deal. R.E. Load being in Philly and Seagull being in OH. And both Chrome and Zugster are in San Fran.

Either way they all look like quality bags. And if my should becomes a terrible problem I myself am going to have to pick one up.

Then me and The Meepers can be riding in comfort AND style!

That is all, carry on.

THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THIS!

It is back! I went ahead and made Bug Guts wide screen an HD on lunch today. I had forgotten all about this video, until I was doing some looking around today for some footage and BAM! I saw this sitting there looking at me.

OK, so it wasn't looking at me. I didn't give the bugs eyes. But it was more or less saying, "Hey. make me WS and HD!" So I did.

Even though this is an off week of the Bi-Weekly Beer Club, I feel compelled to talk a bit about Coopers. It is Thursday after all. As some of you know I have been working on my 500 plaque for over 3 years now. I put in for a 150 plague about a year and a half ago. and guess what showed up on the wall last week?
That's right. Good old 150 plaque! Just in time for me to be 13 beers away from my 500 plaque! For your enjoyment and possibly beer savvy taste, here is a list up till this point in time of the different beers I have drank while going to Coopers Seafood in Scranton. Note I use to go every Thursday night, now I go every other Thursday night and have been doing every other for about 8 months now.

Out of all of these beers only the Sierra Nevada Bigfoot was absolutely terrible. And one of two beers I could not finish. The other is not on this list. It is a Delirium Nocturnum (It could be the Tremins. I mostly drink the Noel if I am downing a Delirium. It is their best after all). The Delirium I could not even get down while absolutely drunk. It was bad.

I know what you are thinking. How can I drink so many good beers, some with high alcohol content, and get on The Meepers and drive home. The answer, I don't! I drive The Egg (not mine pictured)! Or walk. Now that Amy and I live a few blocks away. That also helps with burning off some of the alcohol running through my blood. I do have to work Friday mornings after all.

Speaking of The Meepers. I didn't drive him to work today. Though it looks like this now,
it said it was going to be like this all day.

And The Doppler Radar looked like this, but the bulk was more North this morning.

So right now The Meepers is sad and sitting home alone.
I hope Amy brought him a sandwich.

That is all, carry on.

TAKE TWO!

Soon to be a take 3!



(It is in wide screen, so click on the video to see it properly at You Tube)

I made it a tad longer. Though my wheels seem to spin rather slow now. Oh well. I'll fix it tomorrow.

The weather is much nicer today. No rain.
So a nice scooter ride on The Meepers has/will be had.

In other news, someone in China may have sent me a free camera! That or it is the tripod I ordered 2 weeks ago. I haven't decided yet. I am thinking free camera would be nice, but I do want that Gorilla Tripod. Hmmm, choices, choices.

Moving on.

I stepped in dog poo yesterday. I am not happy about that. I don't like to step in poo of any kind.
It is still on my favorite work shoes.

I cleaned them the best I could, but I could still not get it all off. I am mad about this.

Why can't people clean up after their dogs. And why do they let the shit right in front of the door to my building. I clean up after my dog (when I puppy shit him)
All you need to do it stick one of those HUNDREDS of plastic bags you get from the grocery store in you back pocket. I carry two. One to pick and tie, then a second to put the first into. I don't like the smell.

As you can see from above, my dog does like "to smell". He is sniffing the floor for no reason at all. Why, because he is a dog and they do those types of things. Heyna or no?

What you don't understand what I just said? Sorry you will never know. You need to be from The NEPA to fully understand it. For a quick understanding try Urban Dictionary. Someone gives you a basic idea

That is all, carry on.
