For a long time, I’ve dreamed about a box set containing Bob Dylan covering Bob Seger songs and vice versa. Admit it, you can’t think of two other people named Bob that you would want to see swap songs…

Retro Bike Gets Retro Light
In case you haven’t heard, I picked up one of these. A bike with a strong old world style like this obviously can’t be covered with new fangled plastic lights. Thus began the long process of creating an acceptable headlight. First, I started with a Big Beam flashlight that I found at the Pacific Galleries outdoor flea market. I removed the chromed bubble and lens from the rest of the light. I replaced the toggle switch and wired it to a gutted LED flashlight that was a mere $6 at the hardware store. I’m still tweaking the mounting bracket, but this will work for now. The end result:
Next project; tail light.
Oh Boy
Last night I bought a canoe. It’s fairly light weight and the canal is not far from my apartment so hopefully it won’t be too much of a hassle to take it for an aquatic spin. I am thinking about getting a canoe trailer for my bike though!
Tool Time
Yeah, that’s what’s up.
You See It
I know you do. The wonders of gaff tape.
FIRE SALE!
Oh hello friends, I’m selling 4 hatchet key hooks. They’re cool and people will like you more for having them.

Updated Title
I have decided on a more appropriate title for my newest project. “Change Is Good” is now known as “Foraged Funds.” I have also added a Google Map to present the data a bit more visually. enjoy.
FIXED!
Uhhh, so a few months ago I blew out my flip flop. Yup, just like the song. No, I wasn’t in Margaritaville. I was actually just reading a book at the Lib-a-raryville (haha, just read it so it makes sense!) Just when I mustered up the courage to throw them away, a wondrous idea came to me. I don’t think anything has ever been easier to fix with nothing but a washer and a screw. Truly thereifixedit.com worthy.
Glasses
It seems like every time I get drunk, I manage to convince myself that it is totally appropriate to take things off other people’s heads and wear them as my own.
New Project!
If you are one of the many people who birthday bombed me on Facebook, then you already know that today is my birthday. Today also marks the first day of a new, year long project. Starting today I will be logging and saving every cent that I find. Every penny on the ground, every quarter between the washer and the dryer, every rolled up dollar found outside my favorite coke den. Fuck, I’ll even count Canadian money. My goal is a modest, yet challenging, $10 in 365 days. Do the math, that averages out to roughly 2.7 cents a day. Considering it is probably just as easy to find a nickel or dime as it is to find a penny, I think I can accomplish this feat. It is even very plausible that I will find a whole dollar, achieving 10% of my total goal in one find!
What shall this project be called? I’m open to suggestions, but for now it is just referred to as Change Is Good. Please come up with a better name for it (puns are a plus.)
Below is the penny that christened this project. It’s quite beat up, but hopefully it will be the first of many!
