I'm Always Secretly Hoping That The Lease On Our Apartment Will End, Allison And I Will Lose Or Quit

First strawberry blossom of the season!

HELLO FOLLOWERS!

what's up everyone!

I've never tried this through Tumblr but figured it was worth a shot. My mini workshop is almost ready to see some action so I'm taking orders! I've already got 4 projects lined up but if anyone needs something made for Halloween, ComicCon, holiday gifts, or just a cool thing to hang on your wall let me know asap!

Orders may include but are not limited to the following awesome items- Blunderbuss Vibranium shields Sting Blue Spirit mask Equalist glove Mjolnir

ps. I'll be happy to ship items anywhere in the continental US of A.

Tahoe

In 11 days I'll be riding in a 100-mile bike race with my Dad and brother Drew (http://theravenandthesun.tumblr.com/). It'll take place in Lake Tahoe Nevada, we'll pretty mike be riding around the entire lake.

I'm super excited about it because I love to challenge myself when it comes to physical activities but also because this will be the farthest West I'll have ever been. When I was maybe 8 or 10 my family took a road trip to Denver but that was over 15 years ago! I'm so excited to see the rocky mountains again and be able to spend what little time we have, before and after the race, exploring the beautiful landscape.

I'm sure I'll be posting plenty of pictures :)

For us here in Chicago spring has finally arrived. I know it's almost May but here it seems like we have been cut back to only two seasons, winter and summer with maybe two weeks of fall and spring (if we're lucky). So with hopefully just three or four more days of 30 degree weather left, it's time to break out the camping gear!

Me (Jake) and my girlfriend Allison live in a one bedroom apartment in the city with our cat Turd Ferguson (Turdie for short). Even though there's a park across the street it doesn't fulfill the desire we get to be outside. This is a blog for us to share our outdoor experiences and love of nature. Enjoy!
