Shutter Wolf Ramblings

My jacket arrived, faster than expected too, hand made custom from the UK to California all in under 2 weeks? amazing! Great work Wested!

The jacket is made by Wested leather, same company and guy who patterned and made the Jacket for "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the lost ark"

here I am in the snazzy new wear



Not a word about my sunglasses, if you want to look at an off camera flash blind you 20 times as you take pictures over and over without sunglasses go ahead...

Other happenings, Well I never got out of town, Family is really weird and can't choose a time to go throwing everyone off.
But that does mean ROWBIKE! I took this ride out and crashed! yup 2 times, was awesome, all stumbling of trying to save myself and the bike. After some tightening of the steering and a lighter gear getting off is not a problem now, just push off, stroke, and you're rowling, and yes that almost sounds perverted.. moving on, I was surprised I went for an hour on this, my arms did hurt but kinda went numb after my first rest and water, after that I continued laps around the local small lake, avoiding one hill, because wow going up that was killer, I actually made it up, but it drained me for a bit.

I was a bit surprised to the attention I got, I mean the looks, ok, but almost every lap I was stopped by people wanting to check it out and ask questions, got pictures taken.

I can really feel the areas of my body worked after I finished, I'm sure I burned good calories.

Can't wait for more!

Well, about little before 3pm DHL arrived with my 720sport.

In the box was the bike, and neat extras, a basic bike computer, and touch up paints incase of scratches, nice set of allen wrenches, but no instructions.

I was emailed the link to 07 instructions and instructional video, but instead he link takes you to the 06 PDF file to download, And no video.

Building the bike was not to bad, I did it while I watched a movie in the living room. Problems I came to were the brakes, they are so tight it was a sweat getting them to connect on the cable, and with them on the brakes are rubbing the wheels, also its raining and I haven't had time to work things in, but they are adjustable. Second was the chain the Derailleur, it was a tangled game of correcting till I got it right.

Also a mistake in the instructions for adjusting the shock cord, it says "while the chain is on the Derailluer
largest sprocket (first gear)", when its suppose to be the smallest as shown in the photos and where it was attached to in the previous step, took me a moment to figure out.

Also they spell "Derailluer" when its suppose to be "Derailleur" just a mix up of the e and u

After that the rest flew together.
At the end, so far the brakes just look like they will need adjusting. The Shock Cord comes already nicely tied to the power lever and the Derailleur at 90 degrees.

Steering feels really weird, and when sitting the seat likes to escape your bottom so you have to hold it steady.

I've added a rear tail light, and a front light, the front light just barely makes it on the bar for the computer with the left over room.

Attaching the computer the magnet for the spoke you really must be carful tightening, mine will not get a secure hold and the screw acts as if stripped, so it just barely holds, I'll have to see if some loctite will help.

thats all for now, Rain is holding me out from testing it, and tomorrow will be out of town. looking forward to try it soon.

So I'm laying here in bed on my macbook pro, and listening to coast2coastam, and also working through my german lessons on Rosetta stone. taking random moments to poke through youtube, and come to a video I get a good laugh at, I like foreign action movies, even if the effects are cheap, I just hate hollywood style flicks these days, Tony Jaa is an amazing guy and long as he avoids hollywood then he should be ok, he has been in Ong-bak and Tom Yum Goong for most known, Tom yum goong is actually known as "The protector"here in the US, and its horrible, and why is that? cause as I said, Movies here suck and when hands got on this they cut out about 30 minutes of footage, changed the subtitles to incorrect meaning, took out the spiritualism and culture aspects, and it was just shit, not regular shit, nasty flu bile shit. Anywho, I had the movie on DVD a year before is was out in theaters in the US,and mine is uncut proper true to the original, because the movie had been out in other countries already. Moving along One of the best parts of the movie was the 4 minute uncut shot of Tony going up a building just kicking ass in brutal fashion. to the point , I found a humor themed edit on youtube with fighting game dubbing that had me laughing.



I don't know if its just my macbook pro (what I'm on right now) or most in general, but I really hate the keyboard on this thing, I have to punch it like a type writer or else I have missed keys and have to go back and correct my spelling, sigh, I need to get to the mall and poke the apple store for questions.

think its time for sleep now, almost 4am, night!

$1200 for two classes at my College for a month and not even including parking permit and class supplies!?

No seriously I'm really hungry and no food in this house and I can't cook because I burn everything, so, what do I do, well, Drive through, why am I sharing? because I'm bored!!

I ordered a rowbike ( www.rowbike.com ) in February, and still waiting to receive it, YES its been over a month! I keep sending them taunting emails and they will be getting another tomorrow if I see no shipping alerts.

I also Ordered a Wested Special offer leather jack thats the same design from the first Indiana Jones movie, its coming from the actual makers of the original, in the UK. I've needed a new jacket, mine is faling apart and uses a paper clip for the zipper, a zipper that likes to jam and unzip from the bottom making me stuck.

I hate waiting for deliveries, but most things have to be ordered online for what you really want these days.

Oh yeah, I bought a dead guy's Fedora too, more on that later =D

As for the title of this piece, this songs been stuck in my head

I've made a Blog. Where will this go, who knows, not fully positive why I made this beside just sharing images or my wants of photo equipment, or just the normal life rantings to spill cause I had no one's ears to complain to.
