    Dickey was one of my guitar heroes as a kid. I would wear out the ABB albums learning every single one of his solos on my guitar, note for note. And while I was able to copy them, he was the one who dreamed them up.

    I guess this is one way to hedge against all the arm injuries by throwing max effort all the time. Just be able to throw at least 95 with either arm. :) mlb.com/news/jurrangelo-cijntj…903-mlb-1-A&lctg=32178618

  • Winter Linville Gorge

    On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…
  • Great Smoky Mountain National Park

    On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
