Wooden Boat Show

Cape Fear Community College has a great wooden boat building class.  Every year they put this show on and the boats are always awesome.

Old pictures of the J.P.

This seemed to be taken in the day the boat was christened. It's blown up and hanging in the galley.

Sick Suzuki Savage

I've always liked these bikes.  The single cylinder and simple layout seems like it could make a cheap project bike.  I pulled these off of Biker Metric.  The owner made a really cool and probably pretty cheap bike to run around from skate park to skate spot on.  This reminds me of a quote that I heard from the captain of the boat that I work on.  He has been riding motorcycles his whole life and after looking at the latest issue of The Horse he said, "Greg, motorcycles are going in a whole different direction from whats been done the past 30 years."

I agree with him and I think it's awesome.  My generation just had to recover from the baby boomers bad influence on our work ethic and creativity.  I'm not saying they did a bad job raising us.  I think they just spoiled a lot of us in the hopes that we would do something better.  There's nothing wrong with what we're doing now though.

Just got a new boat in Wilmington.
