“From Hell’s Heart” Moby Dick Shirt Ideas

 I love the quote “From Hell’s Heart I Stab at Thee” from Moby Dick and think it’s fitting when hitting the throttle on the highway. I would love a motorcycle shirt with it, didn’t see any online, so made the following rough mock-ups, thinking that Iron & Resin would be a great fit combining surfing and motorcycling. I emailed these over to them, fingers crossed I’ll actually be able to get the shirt I want!

This one, with art borrowed/stolen from Aaron Von Freter, seems to be my friends’ favorite. I like the flat-out speed imagery, and all my ideas incorporate a Whaling Harpoon to tie it to the obscure quote.

Iron and resin surfboard


Iron & Resin has lots of good skull logos, this was just the easiest one I could manipulate. I think it’d also look cool with a checkered flag somewhere too, or a front-facing skull.

This one is my favorite, but my friends’ least favorite. Graphics from 123rf.com and shutterstock.com. I love the idea of replacing the whaling boat with a motorcycle.

2015 Ford Fusion Replacement Rear Deck Subwoofers

Image
I bought a used 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium earlier this summer and didn't realize one of my rear subs was blown until after purchase. The Sony replacement through my Ford dealer was $80 for ONE, which seemed a little high. I scoured the internet for hours trying to find an affordable/better replacement, which is harder than you think since the original Sony speakers (BG1T-18971-CA) are 2.3 ohms (30w). Evidently, 2ohm subwoofers are a rarity. I called a couple audio shops in town and they had never even heard of them! I also did not want to replace true subs with a 3 way speaker. Finally after hitting several forums, I found CDT Audio (http://www.cdtaudio.com) having the 6x9 2 ohm subwoofers I needed! I emailed and called to make sure I was getting the right stuff, and ordered a pair of official refurbished CL-69Sub/CF for $100 (and cheap shipping!) http://www.cdtaudio.com/sep_components/subwoofers/cl69subcf.php I got in my trunk and looked to see if replacing them myself was i

Camp Hero State Park, Montauk NY

Image
Above: Trail map of Camp Hero State Park in Montauk NY On our last weekend on Long Island, we opted to skip going to the hustle-bustle of Manhattan and instead head East, past the Hamptons, to the very end of Long Island. On our way to  Camp Hero State Park  we had to stop off at the original  Lobster Roll  for, what else, lobster rolls! We grabbed them to go and kept heading east. A tip for all visitors: they aren't kidding about the ticks! Be sure your pet is up to date on their repellent, and I recommend human repellent too! I found several small ticks on my nether-regions, and a few chiggers made nice work of my legs too. We parked just south of the main entrance and ate our lunch along the bluffs near Battery 216, which was a small battery, nothing notable, though the view of the Montauk Lighthouse is impressive. Montauk Lighthouse, from Camp Hero Bluffs We then explored the trail near Battery 113 and climbed a steep trail to get onto the roof of the battery.
