DRIFT North America born July 16th, 2009. Well, in reality the idea and the percolation of this latest creative, collaborative, cultural surf spectacle has been in the works for a while, with many thanks to Joe Conway (Editor) and his crew based out in Maine. Expect regular blog style posting from around the world along with feature pieces in web reader format. These folks are no slouches when it comes to producing a slick online publication. For added variety make sure to also check out the European Edition of DRIFT, which is equally rad.
Jamie Watson at PineappleLuv got Joe to give a run down of the mag, so you may as well cruise over to her site and read his words for your self and check out her fine blog while yer at it.
Anyways, good stuff.
peace

Plenty goin on, for the exception of surf that is...which is a pretty normal thing for this time of year. Windy as stink out there though, but mostly from the west and the north...no good. Meanwhile, been hit with some projectile baby excrement, some Tour de France-itis and scoopin the mantra of "run to surf" from Nova Scotia's Ku Yah! who continues to provide some of the interwebs more entertaining and progressive literary musings...at least a few folks think so.

Anyone who's spent any time in the woods...especially in northern Canada can relate to this song from 1949. Do turn on the speakers for this one
A little less posting going on up in this family joint these days, for obvious reasons. However, finished up the carving bench, tend to the garden, run with Lutsen and most importantly, doing my part to raise this little man.
Check John's little dude and his new longboard. Second generation lake surfer...pretty much raddness!!!
peace folks

"Swedish style"
Been starting to scope the occasional garage sale for hand tools and came across this guy last Saturday. It appears to be a knock-off of a Stanley #4 bench plane that is Made in Sweden. I am therefore assuming that the irons are of Swedish steel, which is always a good thing. It's slightly rusted but not pitted and should clean up half decent. The plastic tote and knob are a little less than desirable compared to some nice wood fictures, but could easily be swapped out if need be. For $7, i'm gonna say score.


Lazy rainy saturday around here today, tending to and taking in the new little Oskar. Life is good.

Wouldn't normally go postin photo's of myself with fish...but Scotty captured these two nicely earlier this week and in good light no less, so props to him. 

Nance (39 weeks pregnant) and Scotty chuckin some bugs for pike.

And running...feeling a lot of flow, satisfaction and well being from running dirt...simplicity. All n' all, life is generally very satisfying and about to become even more so.
It for now...peace
