Rayland Baxter

Posted on June 26, 2014 by Nicholas Weaver

Its never a typical Thursday night in Fort Wayne, Indiana when you get to drive downtown to watch incredibly talented musicians and a gifted songwriter play at The B-Side, an intimate softly lit brick lined room that sits off to the side of One Lucky Guitar‘s office space. Tonight, I got to see Rayland Baxter, son of Bucky Baxter, and a wonderfully gifted wordsmith. It was an evening lost in music and for me that can never happen enough! If you feel inclined look him up online and have a listen!

Bass #3

Posted on June 14, 2014 by Nicholas Weaver

Decided I wanted to try out a new buzz bait with a trailer hook on it to see if I get a more consistent hook into the fish’s mouth, so I went out early this afternoon and cast a few lines. I wasn’t expecting much but snagged this guy after about 5 casts. A bit smaller then the last one but another goes down!

: Third bass of the summer.

Bass #2

Posted on June 9, 2014 by Nicholas Weaver

Im not in a rush to hook the largest bass in the pond but I went out back last night and snagged this beauty with a yellow buzz bait. It’s bass #2 of the year so far. They were really active and hitting on both worms and buzz baits.

: My 2nd bass of 2014

What is Founders Co-working space

Posted on February 2, 2013 by Nicholas Weaver

People ask me all the time, What is Founders Co-working space? Its not always easy to explain because for many people it means something a little bit different. But, this last year I’ve spent a great deal of time working from and with the people of Founders to help create a community of people who love the city of Fort Wayne and want to see development and growth in the entrepreneurial spirt and small business sector here. The space has officially re-opened and is ready for your visit. For more on Founders, watch this short video. After that, grab your laptop and your work ethic and come build something!

CB 400 four twins

Posted on August 5, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

Earlier this week, I was flagged down and approached by a man and his wife in a red Honda Accord while I was riding my motorcycle through downtown Fort Wayne. Come to find out, Kyle, the man who flagged me down, has the same exact year, 1975 Honda CB 400 four Super Sport, as I do. His has been fully restored and has ten thousand more miles then mine, but looks fantastic.

As a result, today I went for a cruise with a group of five guys whom I’d have never met or had the privilege of riding with had Kyle not seen me riding or stopped me to get my information. Sometimes its just nice to have a group of people to ride with. Here is a shot of the twin CB 400 four Super Sports.

Week of Hope

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

For those of you who know me, I am prone to make plans, leave town on a whim, and return with some crazily entertaining story. I do have a couple crazy stories, but this time I skipped town to do some volunteer work in San Diego, California.

Just a couple weeks ago, a spot opened up for an adult volunteer to go with Holy Cross Lutheran Church to Group Workcamp’s Week of Hope. I somehow haven’t made a trip out to California ever, and thought this would be a great opportunity to check out the west coast.

The premise of these work camps are to do service projects in communities of need. Projects range from building homes to cleaning up trash along the beach. Basically, whatever the need is, all the volunteers buckle down and do whatever they can to assist the project coordinators and those in need. Its a great experience and something I would encourage you to look into for yourself or a youth group you’re involved with. Kids and adults alike learn and grow so much as individuals through out the week and it provides them with an opportunity to get outside their normal comfort zone.

: During a lunch break and devotions at Olivewood Gardens.

: Peterson & Connor Hard at work

: The whole gang after our first service project was completed. The people of Olvewood Gardens learning center and their vision is amazing. It was a honor and pleasure to work with this organization.

: Mission beach after one of our service projects. Another crew was tasked with cleaning up the beach and surrounding area.

: Tom Boseker and Zach Heck at La Jolla beach. These guys kept me in line throughout the whole trip. Solid dudes

: Tom and I on the cliffs of La Jolla beach.

: Two crews from Group Workcamp’s Week Of Hope helping out at a local food band in San Deigo, CA

: Our group after two days of work at this community garden. We built four raised flower beds, two compost bins, organized their scrap wood, and leveled out the garden base.

: Slipped out of our sleeping quarters to go visit the one and only Fumari Hookah shop.

: Chad and I at Pacific Beach, getting our beach bodies on!

: The guys before we left to catch our flight back home to Indiana.

: Tom and I, not quite ready to leave San Deigo, CA

: So long San Deigo.

Arlington Park 31

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

Just a couple days ago, I literally played the best round of golf of my life thus far. I don’t know how or why, but I keep shaping shots on every hole. No matter what I did off the tee, I was able to recover and save par or get a birdie on almost every hole. I even drove two Par 4 greens, and single putted for an eagle and birdie. Needless to say, it was a great time

: I drove this Par 4 green and hit this put in for Eagle.

: Shot dead even, a 31. I guess I’ll take that.

Umber’s Car Repair

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

So this past weekend was spent in the Smokey Mountains with a group of good friends. The ole muffler on the VW decided to start sagging a little. So today I stopped at a little repair shop off Parnell Street to get her pipes repaired.

: The old muffler clamp was a bit rusted. After a little heat we got it sorted out.

If you are ever in need of a really cheap and quick fix, give the guys a Umbers Car Repair a jingle.
