Slab City Fun Fest



Didn't know whiskey bottles could take pictures but Sergio pulled it off

Slowing coming together



Went to a charity Poker Game at the Lava Flow and got inspired to get some more work done on the backyard. Long list of ideas we have had since before the pool was even put in and has been slowly coming together. Coco has put props into full effect, last night she added some solar fireflies to the back wall that look great at night. We'll see how well this stuff holds up after the first party.







Well, we had always talked about doing a dock on the far wall of the pool, can't be sure but I think it was actually Cookie's idea (R.I.P.). Anyhow we were down at the Bali Hai for Dylan's birthday and Monkey Business was broke (thanks Mikey) and in the slip so I just happened to have a trailer capable of carrying 22' long laminated dock beams. 2 days later and the Bali Jor'dan dock was alive.Can't wait for the Pool Party season to get started

LIFE IS GOOD


how did i get here? i think back about all the shit i done,lived,fallen dreams i had..my life thus far is pretty damn sweet. considering i did not graduate high school,lived my life with punk attidude. ya know, did not give two shits about nothing. i mean nothing. skated, drank like a mother fucker, travel'd, went to shows. then one day a meet a girl, (the love of my life) she did not make me change, but i wanted to change my lifestyle for her. meaning, i wanted to take care of her, give her what ever she wanted. like a queen so to speak. we had a child i retreated to my old ways. lost foucus of what i wanted and what i needed to do as a dad. i have a little saying that goes over and over in my head. "life is what YOU make it" and "learn from my mistakes" well, i 4got about the simplicity of the words. so, for the past 10 years i have been working corpo jobs (go figure) at least there not typical corporate gigs. and no it's not the mail room or some ships. i have worked hard to get the things i want for me,my child,and my girl. so far so good. i want to thank all my friends who have helped with my dreams.... you know who you are.... life is good
