Bear grease


This is what I have been trying to say. It brings back the feeling of riding when you were a kid

Nathan at Petrie’s found out we were spending the long weekend in Grand Marais MN (not trying out my new bike camping gear due to rainy cold forecasts) so he lent us his Salsa Beargrease and the shop’s demo Salsa Mukluk for a tear through the Minnesota shoreline and forests. I rode the Mukluk on my snow fat bike adventure so this time I took the Beargrease. Carbon, trail bike, huge tires, great SRAM components, coming in at 26 lbs (though Nate met a guy that got his down to 20) and the most fun I’ve ever had on a mountain bike.

I have exactly zero experience trail riding. The few times I’ve done it to reach a campsite or two on trails one step under a fire road, my death grip on the bars gave me hand cramps. The fat tires completely negate this stress…

Words of a Pilot


Great pilot joke donated from my friend Steve

Words of a Pilot

During a commercial airline flight an experienced Air Force Pilot was 

seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms. When the baby began 

crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the 

infant as discreetly as possible.

The pilot pretended not to notice, and, upon disembarking, he gallantly 

offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related items.

When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, 

“Gosh, that’s a good looking baby, and he sure was hungry!”

Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said 

that the time spent on the breast would help alleviate the pressure in 

the baby’s ears.

The Air Force Pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion 

exclaimed,

“And all these years, I’ve been chewing gum.”
