The Cake Fly from WestFly
It's kind of a break from my usual fly for winter steelhead (read: biggest blackest leechy thing I can get on my tippet)

Here's to the Crazy Ones (from Apple Computers)

Here's to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones. we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.

I have got to come back to this... a lot. Not real sure about the name.

another good business blog

I have focused so much on making a cool product, but I haven't given the business side much more thought other than "go slow enough that I don't put my personal finances in jeopardy". That is kinda defensive thinking. I need to incorporate more active business ideas. Last night I started contacting potential resellers of the trailer.

(Excerpt):

Go it alone. - If you can start without a partner or investor, it will most likely save you some heartache. They will have different goals than you do.

Be ready to accept failure. It has a really bad stigma, but the bark is worse than the bite. Make sure you enjoy it. You will spend a lot of time working, so don't do something you hate.

I think Bob Sled is my speed sport

I make crazy mistakes when I push the edge... but bobsledding might
just be the perfect deal for my personality. Working on redesigning
the sled for speed... fabricating improvements.... and then just
going for it down an icy track. That'll be my next project after I
sell a few trailers and boats
