I wouldnt say amazing. Cool, but not amazing.

Washington DC, now that's amazing.

Whilst I haven't been to DC, I have been to Washington State. Seattle was very easy going and a treat to just relax in.

I've got a few photos to upload of Times Square. I just really loved how easy it was to walk from block to block, hail a cab (super cheap fares) and grab food.

Beef here is nasty unless you buy 'grass-fed' which is kind of the standard here in NZ.

Friday I'm going to check out Ithaca Brewery. This part of the country produces some awesome beer. Also, this part of the country makes New Zealand's 'clean & green' image look like a bumper sticker ad. The greenery, trees, parks, streams and general clean environment upstate New York has is beautiful.

Yeah, once you've heard the name of one, you've pretty much heard the name of both of them.

USA is awesome in summer. But winter it would be a bit shit. Cold and dark, same with Canada (parts get to -40c).

If you go to DC, stay somewhere within walking distance of "the mall" where all the monuments and Smithsonian museum places are. I think I was there 4 days, not enough time.

If you go to Alcatraz, go first thing in the morning, first boat you can. Lines are quite long, so getting there early is well worth it.

I am about to undertake one of the manliest projects a man can manly with his mandom.

Building a workbench.

Through the years the manliest men, especially kiwi blokes, who built shit didn't do it on the ground like a chimpanzee. The materials didn't float 850-950mm in the air, they were constructed on a firm and steady workbench.

When I post here next I'll be a man with a workbench, all instructions henceforth will begin with "First thing you want to do is go to your workbench..."

It is still a workbench....

KHS XC 204. Looked at a 650, but stuck to the 26 for sheer fucking value for $$$ and it's what I know and have a gajillion hours in fixing. After hearing and reading that 29r arent as responsive and aren't as nimble sealed the deal. Got a pair of Crank Bro spd too.
