rolling on a burning tire

i'm heading to greeley today to pick up my tire. i'm getting a tractor tire to do crossfit workouts. here's a sample of what that looks like. awesome right? by winter, i'm going to look like an inside linebacker. isn't that what everyone wants? i've got some strength going, but i can't get the fat off. probably because i eat too many chips and drink too much beer. but this tire is going to fix that.

in other news, grantland did a great piece about harry nilsson. my mount rushmore of artists changes constantly, but today, this morning, it's brian wilson, bob dylan, david bowie, leonard cohen and harry nilsson. i don't have to stick to four, do i? you can add a head. it's not hard. it's a mountain! there's room for one more. i love harry's music.

in other, other news, things are looking up at the house. we have a floor! we have a basement floor! soon the framing will start going up. the walls will start popping up. it's amazing how fast/slow it all goes. but things are moving ahead. i'm still kind of surprised i own a house, but i better get used to it. i'm going to be here a while. i have this great idea for a bookshelf that dem's dad said is possible. i can't wait to start on that. one project after the other.

in other, other, other news, the astros made some trades at the deadline. the rebuilding continues. i think 2016 we'll start to be good. maybe 2015. i doubt we're the worst team in 2015. but we'll make the playoffs in 2017 and win the world series in 2019. that's my prediction folks.
