It’s the end of an era and the end of the penny, say it ain’t so? Came across my first gas station not using pennies for the first time. I guess Lincoln will probably rest easier knowing that his head face up won’t jantify as many people in the near future with ”Luck” associated to a 50/50 chance …. Whatever.

I just had to deal with a young bitchy person, who is obviously struggling with “I” disease. What is with people who can’t get over themselves? Over nurtured, I’m guessing… again, whatever.

Finally, I need to relax and allow things to fall into place as god allows them to and not be so forceful in life, and I know life will get easier for everyone, eventually, hopefully. HOPEFULLY.

I’m ready for some spirited adventure in life with less stressful energy and more happiness. It’ll come around here soon, I’m feeling like…. I just need to stop feeding myself to a god damn toxic ass American diet so my kidneys get more healthy. I’ll get there.

Please allow the world to become the reality I’d like to persist with god, in the name of boogie chillin’ I pray, a man, AC

I’m almost done with the Sportster … just gotta make a luggage rack and sissy-bar …. The Shovelhead needs the handlebar dampeners installed and the Goldwing needs things tweaked before I can sell them … not that big of deal really, and the Sportster is going to be awesome when I’m through with ‘er .. yep.

I need to chat with a couple different shop options to build the sissy bar, now that I don’t have my own shop, I’m at the mercy of others' generosity or invite and I’m also at the mercy of both parties timing to line up right. It will work out, it always does.

Family matters, nobody calling, no problem. Thank god.

I’m off to walk for my morning coffee, check into Slabtown’s Midwest Daily Podcast to hear Wally the Bartender and Chuck’s take on Live Music. Love and respect, Alex

So, we the people means: Embrace the forward, embrace the weird. God bless Wisconsin.

Onward and upward ya’ll, I’m done being gypsy trapped by family rhetoric, ships are made to sail, or soar as my friend Chuck would say, “Soar mother fucker, SOAR!”

God bless James Brown and my brother Clint, that dumb lumber-monkey …. James was a bad mo-fo and I got to sing “Poppa’s Gotta Brand New Bag” at my hometown dive last night … and I just gave one of my favorite pirate bartenders a black bandana, and I just heard a pool table crack while John Mellencamp is blasting on the overhead at the bar … life is good, yep.

Motorcycles .. started flipping them, hit me up …. Only dealing the public with good runners, without worry, by heart and by hand and by chi .. thanks Tao Te Ching, thanks Jesus, thanks Budda and thanks God for putting me here and in charge of a Memorial Day Weekend in Memory of my lost buddy Art Reese, yep.

Here I am, crying at the bar again, good night everland, AC

Reinforced the trailer hitch receiver motorcycle hauler today at Grant’s shop in North East Minneapolis this morning, holy moly productive morning … Thanks to my neighbor John for helping me load the damn thing to begain with, he was in a hurry, bless his heart for helping to began with …. Photos below.

Grant is an amazing human being, his company website is linked below. He and I have been friends since the early days of live music returning to Palmer’s Bar …. Gotta take a moment to thank Chris Mozina for our history of knowing each other .. Grant and I kick ass in a shop together ,,,, we whipped that hauler into waaay stronger shape together by adding a bow-tie reinforcement to the bottom and an extra piece of angle iron on the ramp it’self. Way fast and efficiently produced by Grant and I,,, pro-level workman and craftsmanship right there …

Gotta take a moment to eat my only meal of the day ,,, Greek diet ,,, yup

I’m ready god. Life has been a blessing and it’s been weird, thanks. Anyway, I’m just waking up right now and still need to wash my face. I slept like a rock last night, time to wash my face. Yep.

So, on to other things, like planning my day. I need to fabricate a brake light bracket for the 883 Sportster that I purchased. I also need to find peaceful ways to enjoy myself with peaceful people. Lastly, I need to bless my own self because there’s only so much one person can do surrounding helping enlighten others, and I’ve tried, especially with my immediate family.

Wayne Dyer helped me a lot with my temperament. I’ve read two of his books thoroughly and both came in at meaningful times of my existence. I highly recommend.

To be like the reed is to remain planted on earth soil with the calmness of the water around us and the ease of bending with the wind as it blows. Be like the reed, bend with the changes as they come. Love the elements that are concrete in our foundation here on this planet, like gravity, wind, snow, and rain. Be like the reed. Allow your body the ability to be hydrated by drinking more water. Water is pure. Being hydrated is important for de-toxiflying too. Bend with the changes, like reeds do along the water shore.

Allow the nasty behaviors of others to blow past you, they are unnecessary. Allow time for a shower or a bath to calm your nerves. Respect yourself thoroughly by trimming your nails and washing your face. Spend time alone and in comfort. Everyone deserves that once and a while.

Good luck out there, AC

New t-shirts and boogie baseball caps coming to the online store soon..

Why do I even think about them? Oofta, out of my hands, out of my control.

The issue is, my phone texts aren’t getting through to certain people at certain times, that isn’t my fault and it’s gotten me into drama issues .. cellphones, love’em and hate’em …..

I need fun. It’s been a day of cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, and making jewelry, and I also recorded one song for a producer that I’m working with …

No Palmer’s Bar on the West Bank = Weird displacement issues in Minneapolis …..

I walked to the coffee shop this morning and ran about a block each way too, which felt good. Now my obligations are almost finished for the day and I’m like “Where’s the fun?” Hopefully something comes along and I get drug along for a ripper of an evening, hopefully.

I’m in need of a different vehicle if I’m going to start flipping motorcycles and playing music. I’ve got a logistical issue with having all my music gear trapped behind the hatch-back on my SUV whenever I have a motorcycle on the hitch receiver motorcycle hauler. Time for a new rig …..

New boogie hats and running shorts will be coming to the webstore soon, woop! AC
