When wood meets chainsaw and art is made. Thank Robbie.


72 Hours back in New England –

The region reigns supreme, too bad its cold and windy. There are some who will tell you “it makes them stronger, more resilient”, I on the other hand, think that’s just a little rationalization. It makes us feel better, that “we can handle it.” Psychology 101 The reality couldn’t be further from that. 55 degrees…


Oil … We just crossed the Permian Basin, twice.
