Good morning to you!

Had my first round of shots yesterday, feeling good. It's raining here and we're loving it.

Having a coyote problem again. Lost another duck and a couple chickens the other night. Well, here comes the stakeout and the shotgun again.  Sorry Wiley, but you can't eat my dux and chix no more!

Have a safe and amazing day! Word of the Day is "POULTRY". ♥


Da boyz, Cronin, Michael, Shawn, & Curt!

 Paid a little visit to my friends in Simi. Great to see them, and a rare occasion to see them all together!
Great friends, great musicians, great men.

October 7 (from Doug VanQuekelberg of Tonebender Custom Guitars and Basses)



One of two Recording King 000 style solid spruce top acoustic guitars singed by The Gin Blossoms.



This is as good a place as any to get this thing rolling. There are TWO of these guitars to be raffled off - this is the first one for all the inter-web, out-of-town friends and family of our bud Michael Kreple. Hopefully my site will work for you. If not read the "direct thru Paypal" option. This is going to be fun and very cool. The second one will be more "local", and is being done in conjucnction with the folks at TapOut here in the Antelope Valley where Michael gets beat-up on a regular basis. Email tonebenderproducts@gmail.com with any questions. ~ Doug at Tonebender

(from Michael)

In my deepest state of gratitude, I still have a burning desire to let you ALL know how much it means to me, and my family, that you are all doing so much to help the Kreples. It humbles my heart completely. You are all special people!

This weekend is going to be fun. Car racing in Lancaster, live bands and good food, well, good SALADS for me anyway. Keep bangin those drums!

Word of the Day is "ROUGHAGE". ♥

October 8

Gave myself my first shot last night, wasn't too bad at all. Kinda weird watching the needle disappear at my own hand. The TV show is definitely happening. Next week Wednesday and Thursday I'll have a camera crew following me around. Catching "the life of a cage-fighter." As of now, my next fight will be New Years Eve in Las Vegas.
