GN from a Stockton California rooftop. On call fun, sometimes water pipes break in 99 year old historic buildings and flood out the elevators.


Last year I planted 5 banana plants, I thought they died because I didn’t protect them from the frost through winter. 3 out of the 5 suddenly came back to life mid summer and 1 of them is growing a pup!

People amaze me sometimes. Dude just tried to walk through my barricade and asked “Is this elevator working?”
“Uhh, nah dawg.”

Got the front end back together and test drove it tonight, thing mobs. Going to give it a proper alignment next weekend then it should be 👌

Went to see a friend from high school last night. His 1947 Buick is too cool, the car is a time capsule. Original straight 8, all the original literature is still in the car, and everything works like brand new.

It’s a masterpiece
Only 6 years ago but feels like a different lifetime.
I spent my 1st year in the elevator trade commuting by motorcycle to the San Francisco airport. It was 78 miles each way and every morning was a race to see if I could beat my best time. 56 minutes was the best I ever did.
Of all the different types of riding I’ve done there is nothing quite like splitting lanes through gnarly traffic in the dark. I miss the rush but I’m mostly just thankful I had that period of my life. Motorcycles are still a big part of my life today but I’m not as reckless. Being a husband and father is worth dialing it back a bit.
Added frame stiffeners to the front of the jeep this evening
