busy bee.

been busy. lots has been happening thru summer. went surfing down in oregon. camping with my dad up in q-town. camping on the island with liz, matt, kelly, ben, and shylo. good times.

surfing - so fun. 8 stitches to the chin! thx board! horray for travel insurance!
camping with the pops - dust off your shoes and on to the next town. work hard and relax harder.
camping on the island - beach, nap, rain, hotdogs. awesome times.

then i got major sick. h1 n1 garbage and strep throat. awesome. almost died waking up and barely being able to breathe cuz my throat was swollen almost shut lol.

work has been alright. gonna be switching careers. pretty stoked about it. gonna be raising sunken concrete with "True North Concrete Lifting". run by a couple of real solid christian guys. looking forward to some steady work.

  2. Hey Derek! I tried emailing you this on your hotmail but I don`t think you got it, so I`ll just post quickly here:
    Dude! how are you? I read on your blog just this week you got H1N1 or something??? For real??!!? Man, don`t freakin die!!!! You scared the shit out of me. I hope - really - you`re ok dude!

    Yeah it`s good to hear you`re looking into different work options! Hopefully it pays good and you like the crew and all : ) I`m actually selling tires. I work at this tire selling garage that also does suspension, alignment and shit. They needed people for the fall (get your winter tires on) rush. It`s alright I guess, but I work 6 days a week like a sucka. A few of the guys here are pretty cool, this one guys has a toyota markII tourer V (it`s like the jzx soarers... like the newer ones!! it`s pretty killer, 2jz!!!!) and his bro has a oldschool rhd supra.

    My car`s getting tons of attention (from dudes I must mention) and lots of people want to buy it. It`s running GREAT now that it got all the tender love and care it needs. I still need to work on the fitment and supercharge it next summer though. I`m really trying to payoff debt, and create stuff. A friend of mine wants to print tees` so we`re getting quotations for that.

    It snowed here yesterday, but I`m not looking forward to shredding qc slopes too much. I`d rather ride seymour if I could.

    So yeah, your turn :D tell me what up!
