Wow. Bones Brigade changed my life. No lie. And I think the documentary just did it again. Just. Wow. And to know I get to celebrate this weekend with so many individuals... who get it. Who understand. Damn. I am so not worthy.</div>

<div style="color: #333233; font: 13.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I don't believe I could have watched Bones Brigade: An Autobiography at a more perfect time in my life. I hadn't skated in over a month before a session just last night, with 2 Cretins I hadn't skated with in over 6 months, at a ramp I hadn't skated in almost a year... And it restored my stoke. Then tonight, I watched the story of the Bones Brigade... my skate heroes from my youth, and still to this day... and I am so ridiculously infatuated with skateboarding again. </div>

<div style="color: #333233; font: 13.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
And I'm about to turn 40. 40! EVERYONE younger than 40 knows that's crazy old. Want to know what's more insane? I've been skating for 25 of those years. 25! I truly suck for having skated THAT long, but it's not about that. I love it. It's FUN. It's 'stoopit.' And it's up to ME, every time. </div>

<div style="color: #333233; font: 13.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
So to watch those heroes tell the stories, of MY memories of watching THEM skate... it makes my brain itch in the most fantastic way. My mind has not raced like this, about THIS, in years. To watch those stories, on the precipice of completing my 40th trip around the Sun... about to spend a weekend celebrating with Concretins, Kooks, and skaters whom I know no other way except through skating... How do I explain that? I don't think I can, to a pedestrian. </div>

Here I got some primo footage on my Motorola Razor (back when it was just a dumb phone - nothin fancy like the revamp of it today) of The Gibster on a mountain top in Idaho when he was a wee lad of 7. I even got him to rub it in that we was snowboarding long after the season *snicker* ended in Indiana *chortle*.
Anyway, it woulda been funnier had I bothered but I didn't. So, while it may not be as funny, I thought it was still worth a post. Especially since most (both) of you readin this are probably hiding from the insane heat happenin in most of the country.

Sorta...We WILL indeed lose SOME of the park with the reconfiguration of Spaghetti Junction downtown. Most notably, the deep end, including the full-pipe. While I do not frequent this end of the park myself, I sincerely hope it is included in the rebuild, as it is one of the few skatepark full-pipes in the country and is an icon of the Louisville park.<br />
<br />
From the Courier-Journal, written by Sheldon Shafer (with a quote from TheProfessor even):<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2c2c; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">A section of the Louisville Extreme Park will be leveled and rebuilt out of the way of a highway ramp that will skirt the park as part of the reconstruction of Spaghetti Junction.</span><br />
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
The popular skate park will not have to be closed to accommodate the Spaghetti Junction project, said Metro Parks Director Mike Heitz. Some of the skating facilities and the restrooms will be razed to make way for a new ramp leading to eastbound Interstate 64 in the redesigned complex series of roads and ramps.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
A series of bowls and a pipe system designed for the most experienced users will be removed from the northwest part of the park and rebuilt in a grassy area at the northeast corner near Clay and Witherspoon streets.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
A land survey is planned to affirm that the skating facilities can be rebuilt there, Heitz said. The west side of the skate park will be demolished only after the replacement facilities are completed.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Highway officials recently redesigned the Ohio River Bridges Project, which includes two new bridges and a revamp of Spaghetti Junction, to leave the huge interchange largely in place, rather than shifting it south. The changes are expected to shave more than $1 billion from the project’s cost.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
The original project design called for a new ramp to pass over, and near the center of, the 1.85-acre skate park that opened in 2002. Although highway officials said they would try to avoid sinking pillars into the skating surface, there was no guarantee on how much of the skate park would remain usable, officials said.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Under the new Spaghetti Junction design, the ramp to I-64 will pass along the west side of the park, leaving about three-quarters of the park untouched, including facilities designed for beginner and intermediate skateboarders and bicyclists.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Mayor Greg Fischer said in an interview Friday that he is pleased that a compromise will allow the park to remain open. “Although a portion of the Extreme Park will be impacted, our team is working to ensure that when it’s rebuilt, it will continue to be a world-class facility.”</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Jason Gainous, a University of Louisville associate professor of political science and a frequent skateboard user of the park, said the skateboarding community “is extremely pleased that the park will not be shut down as a result of the bridges project.”</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
“While we will miss the section of the park that has to be torn out for the new Spaghetti Junction, we are thrilled that the bridges budget will include monies to rebuild (the skate park).” Gainous said he is confident that the Extreme Park will remain on “the cutting edge of skate parks around the world.”</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Gainous heads a group that helps maintain the skate park under the city’s Adopt-a-Park program.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Heitz said skate park users will have an opportunity to consult with parks officials and engineers on the design of the replacement bowls and ramps.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Skateboarder Pat Kagi said he considers the park “a very special place, perhaps unlike any other in the whole world. It would be ridiculous if they did have to close it. To some people, the park is therapy. To take it away would be a big deal.”</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
John Sacksteder, the project manager for the bridges project’s engineering consultants who has been working on ways to minimize the impact of the Spaghetti Junction work on the skate park, didn’t return phone calls Friday.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Heitz said the cost to raze the western side of the Extreme Park and to develop the replacement facilities will come from the Ohio River Bridges Project budget. He declined to estimate the cost. He said the replacement facilities could be completed by late next year or early 2014.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
Sacksteder recently speculated that work in and around the skate park would occur around 2015.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2c2c; font: 16.0px Helvetica; line-height: 24.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">

Time is short, and there is absolutely NO guarantee of anything when dealing with city and state officials. While I am optimistic and hopeful, I also know that on a whim, they could decide to destroy the whole thing. Because they can. So get your skate on Cretins. </div>

Then Cretin Adam rolled up, and OldKook Mike rolls up from Richmond, KY... and then, this redneck rolls up in a bright yellow Jeep... that's right, OLD MAN PAUL! Haven't skated with that MelonFarmer in over a year. Was great to see everyone. We all cleaned up the deep end and actually hit the pipe a few times. Been about a year or so for that too for me.<br />
<br />
Ruby joined Junior and was rippin' the flats all over the park. Her high fives to Daddy after his runs were simply awesome. She was ridin' switch alot too. Luckily she hasn't quite picked up her Daddy's mongo foot yet. There is hope.<br />
<br />
I was feelin' a bit loose and froggy. Like I had a bit o' pop & spring in my kicks, so I set up the barrier and proceeded to beat the crap outta myself. Here's the last few minutes of about 20 minutes of attempts.<br />

Those who could make it, came out to play in the near 100 degree Louisville, KY heat and bid a fond farewell to a great friend, David Skidmore. Dave and family will be moving on to much greener skate pastures, that being the Portland Oregon area! Rock ON. It would take much time to go into all the greatness (flatulence not excluded) that is the Skidz. Let's just say he will (flatulence excluded) truly be missed by many, to put it lightly. So speaking of light, grab a lighter, drop some trou, and light one up for the Great One:</div>

GTFO!Just kidding. But we're still gonna party!<br />
<br />
Come celebrate cleaner air for the Louisville skate scene! Our most prolific polluter and trou dropper, Skidzilla, is headed west. Pacific Northwest to be a bit more precise, Portland to be even a bit more specific. A town of legendary 'crete. He's already made friends with the Skate and Annoy and Earth Patrol Media crew, so I know HE will be happy with his skate sessions. Though they may rethink their hospitality after an evening of drinking and red meat with the methane factory that is Dave's rectum.
<br />
<br />
Sunday, May 27th. Festivities begin at 10:00 AM. A grill will be manned, so bring yer meat. Bring yer beverages. And bring some shade, it's gonna be a scorcher. Bring a camera too. Capture some Concretin moments. Probably the largest Cretin session you'll ever see. Gonna miss that smelly mthrfkr.
<br />
<br />
Skidzilla gettin' down on the coping at MC's backyard bowl in Portland. Yes, I said "backyard bowl." Don't hate, create!

Well, for now.I'm still skeptical, because of how long it took to get the park and my distrust not of our Mayor, but of the douche bag city council that selfishly halted Phase 2 of the park... but things look promising for the skatepark remaining where it is, and intact, during the next decade(or more) of Spaghetti Junction reconstruction.<br /><br />From the Courier-Journal on Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2011<br />_________________<br /><br />After years of uncertainty on how the Ohio River Bridges Project would affect the Louisville Extreme Park, engineering consultants now say the latest design for rebuilding Spaghetti Junction should leave the popular skate park largely intact, with little likelihood of having to relocate it.<br /><br />Govs. Mitch Daniels of Indiana and Steve Beshear of Kentucky and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer had announced a cost-cutting plan this year for the project that would include Spaghetti Junction being rebuilt in place, instead of being moved to the south as part of the bridges project.<br /><br />The original highway plan would have required taking more than an acre of the 1.85-acre Extreme Park, said John Sacksteder, project manager for Community Transportation Solutions, the Bridges Project engineering consultant. But the revised plan, while still deemed preliminary, will require Kentucky to take only about two-thirds of an acre at the Extreme Park — or about one-third of the park land, Sacksteder said.<br /><br />The revised project calls for a ramp to pass over the western portion of the skate park — an on ramp from Brook Street leading to northbound Interstate 65, with a secondary ramp jutting off and leading to westbound I-64. But Sacksteder said there is no intent to sink any piers or pillars into the park’s skating surface. Ultimately, contractors probably will determine the final ramp configuration, including where the ramp supports go.<br /><br />Skateboarder Adam Sharp said the fact that the Extreme Park can remain largely intact “is definitely a relief.” The park, he said, “has become kind of a tourist destination for skateboarders from all over America and for people who want to skate one of the best parks in the world.”<br /><br />The park, a pet project of former Louisville Mayor Dave Armstrong, opened in 2002 and cost about $2 million. It has about 40,000 square feet of concrete skating surface and a wood “vert” ramp, along with restrooms.<br />It is managed by Metro Parks and provides skateboarding, in-line skating and sports biking opportunitiies for all ages and skill levels.<br /><br />Shawn Fawbush, a longtime skateboarder and an instrumental member of the original users task force that advised the city on the park’s development, said users “were absolutely worried” that the park would have to be either relocated, closed for several years or greatly altered by the construction.<br /><br />“Everyone has been wondering whether the park would be torn up, or have to close,” he said. Sacksteder speculated that construction in and around the skate park would occur around 2015 or 2016. And he said the work in that area probably could be completed in one construction season, meaning the impact on the skate park would likely take six to 12 months. Officials said that they will decide later whether the park — which is currently open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week — will have to close during construction.<br /><br />Fawbush said having a concrete ramp over the western side of the park might add to the urban atmosphere. “That’s fine, as long as it’s skateable,” he said. And a pillar or two could be considered as new features of the park, he said. Noah Hulsman, another local skateboarder, said the that adding that a ramp passing over the park would provide some badly needed shade.<br /><br />Chris Poynter, Fischer’s spokesman, said the administration is tickled that the park won’t have to be torn up, relocated or closed for an extended period. He said the original Spaghetti Junction plan appeared to put the park in jeopardy. “The park has proved to be very popular,” Poynter said. “We are glad to hear that we will not have to rebuild it” somewhere else. “Our goal all along has been to keep the park open,” said Metro Parks Director Mike Heitz. “This is great news.”<br />_______________________<br />The park being "open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m." is news to me. What are they doing, turning off the other half of the lights? (Half of them are blown out already.) I call bullshit. But whatever. What do I know? Just glad to know the park does have some friends in the administration.Nikolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18106000234195417439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23675563.post-48661397006953747162011-12-16T08:03:00.001-05:002011-12-16T08:04:45.783-05:00Merry Christmas Cretins!<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pq8iyhMFLYE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Miss you melon farmers.

I shudder to think what went on between (or even during) skate sessions. <br /><br />Anyone want to go shave their ass, er, I mean, skate at Woodward in February?

ArchitectureThis vid, from Auckland, NZ does a good job of illustrating both sides of city planning for public spaces versus skateboarders. And it's in a civil and positive documentary type presentation. It really should never be us versus them. <br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/31136828?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=c9ff23" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/31136828">Skateboarding VS Architecture: A Study of Public Space and Materiality in Auckland City</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3899431">SwineTrotters</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />A worn ledge is absolutely NOT blatant vandalism like a ridiculous initial tag of some gangster-wanna-be jackass. My street skating consists of a daily commute on a cruiser board. No kickflips down stairs, no wall rides, and no noseslides on ledges. Not because I don't see the opportunities, but because I don't bounce any more. I see many things that I just can't physically attempt any longer. And it ain't no thang. I get lots o' fun rollin' with Kooks and Cretins at private ramps and public skateparks, more fun than any security guard ending session I've ever had.<br /><br />But for any pedestrian reading this, you want to empower someone? I mean really make someone surprise themselves? Next time you see some skater bail a backside 180 down a set of stairs. Don't scowl or bitch or roll your eyes. Tell 'em, "Get back up and make that shit!" Next try, it's a guaranteed make.Nikolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18106000234195417439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23675563.post-2256885754059777082011-09-30T19:25:00.004-05:002011-09-30T19:34:59.315-05:00Curmudgeons can skeet.We're old.

I don't know exactly why for every one else, but for me, life just keeps happening while I'm busy making other plans. The Lizard Ramp is in my neighborhood, so it's easy for me to hit a weeknight session with little effort and minimal family neglect. While I was definitely stoked to skate with buggers I haven't seen in a few weeks, I was equally stoked to not be the only fully padded relic attempting to throw down. And throw down we did. Thanks for the extra stoke Cretins! We're (still) not dead yet.<br /><br />Best Stinkbug Photo EVER!<br /><a href="http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/?action=view&current=IMG_7374.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/IMG_7374.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Junior can surf.<br /><a href="http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/?action=view&current=IMG_7365.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/IMG_7365.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Stand up Frontside.

Also known as "TheBoy." 'Twas his first "real" experience skating on a ramp, and actually 'skating', not just playing with Dad's skateboard. Seriously, I can't possibly explain how stoked I was(am), not that he was skating, but at the look of pure joy on his face. While I know he may not skate forever, or ever again, he certainly didn't hate it! (I can build -a miniramp- on that.)<br /><br />TheBoy can skeet!

No hard feelings for your lack of help or enthusiasm for vert, but I'm sure his heckling will be cranked up a few notches. Particularly now that my excuse that the ramp itself is too dangerous is gone. (It's never been the ramp, it's my experience with and fear of collision of body and ramp.) But I might venture out sometime, as there is a few other things to skate around it. I should at least snap a few pics for the Zombie Cretin blog - we're not dead.

So what the hell have you been doing? The one we call TheProfessor, Dr. J, or Hippy(though now sporting a buzz cut), our resident Vert Cretin, has been spending his Summer vacation as a community advocate… Stupervising the tear down, strengthening, and resheeting of the vert ramp at the Louisville Extreme Park. Why? Because he doesn't have a backyard in which to build his own damn ramp, that's why. And somehow, he's convinced a lot of skaters that rarely even venture on that side of fence to even sit in the shade of the vert ramp, let alone ride it, to help him do it. That's an educator with some influence. Skills for real.<br /><br />The Cretin crew that officially adopted the park, The Professor, Skidzilla, and Junior, organized a very basic fund raising campaign (essentially a guilt ridden email) and raised about $3Gs. (Actually rather impressive.) And believe it or not, the city parks department kicked in an additional $2,500 and a couple of bodies to get the job done. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 640px;" src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Some will say that I haven't done anything… and ya know what, I haven't really. I have no shame, I don't skate vert. It scares the bejeezus outta me and it hurts. "Pussy." Yea, yea, like I haven't heard that a thousand times. "Sticks an' stones Love." I spent a few hours on tear down, which is the really easy part, a little bit more time runnin' screws in the second underlayer, again easy, then seeing too many bodies standing around with a deficient drill to body ratio, I bugged out and painted over a buttload of graffiti. So I'm not a total dick. But then I did skate for almost an hour while everyone else worked. Sorry about that. (No I'm not.)<br /><br />(Tangental Rant warning: Seriously, you talentless tagging douchebags need to stop putting your initials all over the place. Nobody gives a shit if you were there. -As if those douchebags are reading a blog.- Having a sharpie shoved up your ass by a 150 pound Cretin would be rather embarrassing. Well, ok, getting arrested for something that school girls do on their notebooks because said Cretin called the cops on you would be embarrassing. But given the opportunity, I absolutely WOULD shove that marker or spray can up your ass. /end rant)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 640px;" src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 640px;" src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 639px; height: 426px;" src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 639px; height: 426px;" src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p288/concretins/2011/ramprebuild5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Ramp work is a little over half way complete with only the Skatelite to be reapplied, replacing a few sheets, and then having new coping welded and set. So if you have a drill and a few hours to spare, hit the ramp. The Hippy is gonna give you hell if you don't, so give him a few hours would ya. Running screws in predrilled Skatelite is really easy.<br /><br />Seriously, a huge THANKS to everyone who has helped so far. The Louisville Skate Scene kicks ass. Whether you skate vert or not, you have at least one friend who does, and when they do, you totally dig watchin'.

Sometimes even when you're not having a good session. But Skidzilla has made me suspect just about everyone is a smartass so I usually figure the kid is just being a sarcastic lil' turd on those days.<br /><br />But(t) anyway… "product flow" is one form of sponsorship, right? So by that definition, the Cretins have been sponsored! Melissa over at BuildASign.com has hooked us up with some kickass stickers. Why? Because we skate. No, really! (And apparently we had a good post up on the day she checked the site. Obviously BEFORE Valentine's Day and Skidzilla's ass post.) So if ya need a sign or some bumper stickers, please check 'em out. Look, there's even a link over there on the right. No, we don't get any percentage of sales. No, we didn't sell out… at least not completely. But yea, I'll pimp out the blog for some stickers. ;) Hit us up for some new vinyl for your ride next time you see us.Nikolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18106000234195417439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23675563.post-54811906557982633512011-03-05T15:28:00.002-05:002011-03-05T15:51:21.962-05:00Woodward Re-Revisited...<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzbOC0MrnoT79wn6DwR8dyKGVbc2zlTCa5k6fCJds3injciPQtQM_GGxCj9oK5TxlI293QnQu07JPo' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>gimpinainteasyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08821693555722886519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23675563.post-48143315523854829652011-02-14T16:34:00.006-05:002011-02-14T21:33:33.278-05:00Happy Valentines Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZR5Dl9x08XmG2taVaagXIYnrCTatStE4C4Ghyphenhyphengp1zjSEO-IqL_lenZtKTE_Wrvefl9i3CK9IxX68KDQW-PIKIlFu2wwsI5aUSC1DVvAfhi901EiGSofljRSgsYUOrHAbryQhbYg/s1600/DavesAss.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZR5Dl9x08XmG2taVaagXIYnrCTatStE4C4Ghyphenhyphengp1zjSEO-IqL_lenZtKTE_Wrvefl9i3CK9IxX68KDQW-PIKIlFu2wwsI5aUSC1DVvAfhi901EiGSofljRSgsYUOrHAbryQhbYg/s400/DavesAss.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573738753147409874" /></a><br /><br />Heart Background - very Valentiney!Skidzillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16897748560152056268noreply@blogger.com2
