Mandatory Bloggery- St. Patricks Day 2017 Shredding

NOTHING BETTER THAN TO CELEBRATING A 17TH CENTURY IRISH "FEASTING" HOLIDAY!

Teamed up with some adult beverages, it makes for the perfect day!...... Especially when skateboarding is involved!

I was really excited about St. Patrick's day this year. This required a 6 a.m. trip to the grocery store to make sure that I could actually get my hands on some Guinness!

Ready for lift off.

It was all on sale!

Nicely seasoned, submerged in water and placed in the oven for 9 hours.

PQ session with the bubs Larue and Brockman.

Niiiiiiiiiiice and empty!

Brockman with a warm-up front noseslide. This was a fun session.

Back home to slicing, peeling and chopping.

Kitchen work is repetitive and monotonous, but the end result makes it all worth it.

I need to do this more than just once a year. It tastes amazing.

The first of many rounds. Guinness bombs were mandatory on this day!

Mandatory!

A yearly tradition in my house. Green mashed potatoes.

Irish soda bread recipe. Minus the raisins. 

I hate raisin bread.

Congregation. Booze, food and friendship! It brings us all together.

Veggies, potatoes, bread and meat! Gotta love St. Patrick's day!

Remember that end result I was talking about?...... Yea, here it is.

Minus smart-ass Brockman giving me the bird!

Glorious!

ItWasTheLight giving into his urge to pet the nearest pussy.

Oh yea, Jana was there! Hi, Jana!

Pretty sure the Uni-bomber lurks in my home.

Mopped up. It was amazing. Everyone loved it!

Job well done!

Mandatory Bloggery- Super Blooming in Borrego Springs

Got into the spirit of the bub Jeff making his new "Super Bloom" video, so the wife, myself and some friends decided to take the drive out there ourselves and take in the beauty!

Due to the recent heavy rainfall, everything was lush and green.

I seriously don't ever remember seeing Lake Cuyamaca this full of water. Seems like a few months ago, I recall seeing galloping deer where that water is.

Anna-banana was hyped!

Then we got to wandering.

Did a little climbing.

Brockman the mountain goat.

Heavy-mini-vannin!

Cheers!

I was way up there.

It was hard to find all three colors in one spot.

Then it was off to see this spectacle.

Death comes a criddling.

Misfits

She was hyped on the grasshopper.

I call it the "sand worm". A Beetlejuice reference!

It was an awesome day. Pretty rad that you can change yer whole environment with a short drive.

It's like being in another world.

Couples photo time.

I wanna camp under this thing one day.

Time for another hike!

We found a rock to drink beers on and watch the sun go down.

Going....

....going....

Gone!

The whole valley engulfed by the shadows.

Little sprouter. Pretty amazing considering the soil is damn near rock solid.

More low light photos.

Glow.

The word was out and people were adventuring too.

Last photo of the evening. Then it was time for the drive home. It was a blast.

Oh yea, here is the recent "Super Bloom" video filmed by none other than ItWasTheLight!
