And I’ll take 2876.6 miles. That’s right, my solo cross country drive is complete and I’m looking forward to never having to make that trip again. Not only is the trip incredibly long, it’s mostly ugly as sin too. I cranked out the entire trip in 49 hours, 9 of which was spent refueling, eating, and sleeping.
I’ve decided to rate the states I drove through based on their “from Interstate” appearance. For reference, I drove I-80 and I-84 the whole way. The states are being graded on an A to F scale. Let’s start at the beginning…
1. Pennslyvania: My home state I can’t say anything negative about it. It’s beautiful to me for personal reasons but also contains a nice blend of farm land, rolling hills and mountains. (B-)
2. Ohio: Please kill me. This state is boring and with ZERO character. (F)
3. Indiana: Sucks. I hope swarms of locusts rid the country of this wanna be New Jersey. (F)
4. Illinois: Disgusting. The area around Chicago is scraped bare of anything remotely decent. (F-)
5. Iowa: Snooze. Dumb-ass Bush voters. Die. (F)
6. Nebraska: Is it possible for a state to get any wider? At least the people match. And by the way, football isn’t that great…try and get some exercise (F)
7. Wyoming: Mountainous topography is very evident. Wide open spaces, clean air, still kinda boring. (C-)
8. Utah: Disclaimer…Utah rocks, just not around this stretch of highway. There were still some cool areas and snow capped terrain. (B-)
9. Idaho: Famous Potatoes? I guess so, however the terrain was very cool. I’d like to spent more time in this state. (B)
10. Oregon: Water, mountains, TREES! You can’t imagine how few trees you see between Pennslyvania and Oregon. If Oregon was a vagina, I’d have sex with it. (A++)
My total mileage. Ouch.
My truck right where it belongs! After sitting still for 8 months my baby didn’t shutter a wheel at the distance. She’s one great machine!

Hood River is on official notice! The Philly boys are in town and things will probably never be the same. I’m expecting to get kicked out of a bar or three…which pretty much makes all of them. Scorpion bowls, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, hiking and LOTS of jack-assery are on the agenda.
Catch us if you can.

As the years pass me by and my world continues to change, so does the realization of my childhood. I’m not sure what it means to be a man completely, and perhaps I’ll never fully understand the complexities of such a title. Regardless, I do understand what it takes to navigate life and fully appreciate the challenges of being a human.
Patience isn’t a trait associated with any Lehmann male, while stubborness is owned in excess. My dad wasn’t always the easiest person to deal with, especially when the little patience he had was tested. But as with every human on earth, we all have our strenghts and weaknesses. What he lacked in patience he made up for in an unwavering love and respect for his children. When I consider all the trials he faced since the day I was born I stand in amazement that he’s the loving, caring person he is today. Perhaps overcoming such pain is what truly is the measure of a man.
So to you dad, more than anything else, your one crazy fucker and deserve the best things in life. Keep exploring your world and never stop till you find whatever it is you’re seeking! I love you.

This is an official call to my pal Randy in hopes that you’ll take my advice and put some of your “hard-earned” money towards a new toy. Remote controlled cars, downhill bikes, new engines for trucks, quads, guns…they’re all very cool, but for a cool $50k we could be flying above all that junk.
I present to you, The AirScooter II – Ultralight Recreational Vehicle
Not only is this bitch easy to fly, but it’s potential is yet unrealized. With simple controls the AirScooter II is easy to fly and makes for big fun while drinking. Let me take a moment to list all the potential things we could do with such a craft:
1. Hunt turkeys from the air–DEATH FROM ABOVE BITCHES!
2. Drink beer
3. Smoke drugs
4. Shuttle mountain bikes–who needs a ski lift
5. Run errands in Roxbury
6. Pick up chics (girls love pilots)
7. Fish–the pontoons float!
8. Act retarded in the air
9. Fuck with road bikers
…the list goes on and on!
Given that this falls into the ultralight classification, pilots licenses and things of that nature are not required. They also make a two seater model which would make hunting much easier.
Into the air Jr. Birdman!

So what say you Randy? Time to break out the plastic? You could fly to Oregon!

April and I just moved into our new house this past weekend. We’re almost totally organized and really loving the new space and location. We have a great view of Mount Adams and the mighty Columbia River from every room in the house. Life truly is good in the Gorge.
Here’s our home at night.
The new address is:
1311 Cascade Ave
Hood River, OR 97031

A few weekends ago my friend Abe and his girlfriend Nicole rented a HUGE house in the Sun Valley area of Bend, Oregon. The plan was to party like rock stars and ski Mount Bachelor. Done and done.
We left in the morning on a Friday and took our time during the 3 hour drive south down the eastern edge of the Cascade mountain range. Along the way we decided to try our hand at some fly fishing on the Crooked River, known for it’s abundance of dumb fish.
Here we are getting completely skunked, so we tried our hand at something we were much better at…
KEG STANDS! Since we were hauling two kegs to the house we decided to get things started early on the banks of the beautiful river. It is after all, “DAY USE PARKING”! 
Once at the house, we wasted little time keeping the party alive.
Chewy and The Brass Monkey…feelin’ the flow.
King Brass Monkey and Peahead, both lost in the stir of things.
Once we were good and toasted we mounted our bikes and did a night ride around Sun River. I brought along my new GPS so we could find our way back through the developments twisting miles of roads and trails. Some where along the way we lost the dog pictured above. Crazy dog.
The next day we headed to Mount Bachelor and did some skiing/boarding. This was my first time at Mount Bachelor and really enjoyed the terrain. The view of the Three Sisters was really beautiful and the conditions were typical Spring snow. Good times.

Nicole boarding away from some deep-ass snow.
We headed home with hurting bodies and brains, new friends and lots of good times. I’m also the new world champion of Polish Horseshoes. Bring it on!

Widmer Brothers has long been a favorite with their hefeweizen offering. For 2007 they really out did themselves…presenting the W’07 Brewmasters Release, Pale Ale. *Yawn*
Not quite. This Pale Ale is unlike any I’ve tried before. It’s a very full, round-tasting pale ale, like many, but features a crisp, citrus finish. While not quite fruity, but just enough tang to really make it special. I’ve long been a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale fan, but this easily runs circles (or chugs) around it. Not only is the beer delicious with a meal, it can play a perfect role during a night of binge drinking…which seems to be my favorite.
Give it a try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
