Evan's Adventures: Tons of Projects!
http://evansadventures-evan.blogspot.com/2012/11/tons-of-projects.html
Saturday, November 10, 2012. A couple of years ago, I bought a Karcher pressure washer to hose off my dirt bikes. With very infrequent use (my bikes are often put away dirty), the damn thing broke. I took it apart to find that the cheap-ass plastic pump had cracked. Replacement parts are unavailable and if you could get them, they would cost almost as much as a new unit. DON'T buy Karcher stuff! Here's the barely used junk about to get tossed into the recycle bin:. Here, I'm using the milling machine wit...

Evan's Adventures: Another great weekend is now 'on the books'...
http://evansadventures-evan.blogspot.com/2009/06/another-great-weekend-is-now-on-books.html
Monday, June 8, 2009. Another great weekend is now 'on the books'. On Saturday, we were all fired up about going to the RTW 5k. It has been 2 weeks since the last one, right? So we did. Tessie came in 1st place dog, and I finally got my 1st place finish. So this year, I was punctual. "Hmm, I wonder if I can just stuff the bike into the convertible? Wheels in the trunk. Yeah, it's doable:. Horrible mess, big pile of stuff in my transition area (last year)? Nice venue, super triathlon weather:. The swim wa...

Evan's Adventures: Tejas Triathlon Report....
http://evansadventures-evan.blogspot.com/2008/06/tejas-triathlon-report.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2008. I flew into the parking space, whipped the bike out of the trunk, tossed the wheels on (of COURSE the chain was all wadded up around the front sprockets and required my clean hands to intervene.chain is filthy greasy, needing maintenance). You've never seen anyone pump up tires as quickly as I did.NASCAR teams would scramble to hire me! I crammed as much of my stuff into my little tri bag as I could and draped other items around my neck and HAULED over there (vagabond triathlete!

Evan's Adventures: October 2008
http://evansadventures-evan.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Got to thinking about my friend, Barry. He's the guy I wrote about below. While he's been caught up in raising a family and building a fine homestead, he's HARDCORE when it comes to mechanical things. Barry and I see eye to eye on many things. He's a hardcore motorcycle drag racer. Here, he's refueling his dragbike on the dynamometer for tuning: (pics are maybe 5-6 years ago). Just HOW COOL is Barry? He loaned me his "big tire" dragbike! The thing launched HARD! It is GO TIME ...

Evan's Adventures: C'mon Summertime!
http://evansadventures-evan.blogspot.com/2009/03/cmon-summertime.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2009. I suffered a traumatic experience last week! My neighbor took his family on spring break vacation and asked me to feed his chickens. No sweat, I've done it on previous occasions. It seems the chicken population has grown since the last time I fed 'em. On Tuesday, I leisurely walked across the street. Relaxed and enjoying the day, I fed the chickens. Then all of a sudden, a large rooster starts coming after me. WTF? That son of a bitch attacked me! I'm gonna fire up the grill.

Evan's Adventures: February 2009
http://evansadventures-evan.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Weekdays are needed to give pause/recovery from Weekends! I've been working diligently for the past few years to eliminate my monetary debts. Going into the weekend, I was finally DEBT FREE! No mortgage loan. No car loans. No credit card debts. No big machinery loans. Feels GOOD! My mantra has been, "I'm gonna take back my weekends! So how did I score on taking back my weekends? There were runners EVERYWHERE! Photo credit, Bill D:. In all, a really cool place to ride! Who have...

Evan's Adventures: Summertime, I'm loving it! Lots of riding!
http://evansadventures-evan.blogspot.com/2009/07/summertime-im-loving-it-lots-of-riding.html
Thursday, July 2, 2009. Summertime, I'm loving it! We've been riding plenty of dirtbikes! Last week I rode at 3 Palms. On Wednesday night with 4 friends. It seems the Wednesday night deal is a standing appointment. I took grilling stuff along and we grilled up some burgers as the riding was winding down. Saturday, I took my beloved border collie to the Run The Woodlands 5k. Ran a slow 26-ish minutes, but it's way hot! Is it not contradictory to listen to jazz before climbing aboard a very rowdy dirt bike?

Evan's Adventures: June 2009
http://evansadventures-evan.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. I had a strange relationship with a small pine tree. I've kept this pretty quiet until now. I've told a few people about what happened in the forest, but not many. Only now can I start to understand what happened and find a hint of levity. This pic is not THE tree, just a pic I swiped off the internet). So let's get back on topic. I had a strange relationship with ONE small pine tree out of billions. As I approached, it was perfectly in focus. Not an unfocused, slight...It nailed...
