The 3rd Lair

Last night Slim and I ventured over to the west side of the cities to go to the 3rd Lair skate park. One of the members on Morc had setup a bikers only night from 9 to 11pm. Having never photographed bmx street before I decided to bring my camera along. The place was a bit overwhelming with what must have been 50 riders using the small indoor facility. I was a bit nervous since I didn’t know the etiquette for shooting in a place like this but I got out my camera anyhow. I took a few photos but didn’t have as much success as I’d hoped. I think the key to shooting this kind of sport is to know one or two riders who can go out for a private session and that way you can work on getting your lights setup perfectly for the shot. My fly by the seat of my pants technique is below 🙂

Abstract Extract

It has been far to long since I brewed a batch of home brew so I decided to remedy that this week by brewing not one but two batches.  Last night I pulled out all my brewing gear, cleaned, and sanitized it and brewed up an extra pale ale extract kit.  Tomorrow night I’m heading over to Andy’s to to brew a 10 gallon batch of Cream Ale with him and Tom.

Ahh the smell of boiling hops! Yum!
