CURRENT MISSION Continue to be travelers and listeners of many musics, that's our motto. That, and everybody wang chung tonight. ABOUT ME We are Brad & Heater. You will very rarely find us apart, especially now that we have our little guy, Kanyon (chocolate lab/border collie). He was born on Sept. 26, 08 and we've had him since he was six weeks old. He is the raddest, most amazing, smartest, greatest, cutest, perfect little puppy in the whole world - sorry, it just had to be said. We've been together for nearly a year now and pretty much started off the relationship traveling together. Our first Valentine's Day was spent camping in the back of Heater's Tacoma (The Troutmobile) and fishing on the Deschutes. Shortly thereafter, we spent a week camping and traveling around the Oregon coast steelheading with another friend. In April, we traveled to O'ahu and Kauai and ended up staying. Bought Gus, the van, and lived on the beach for almost two months (life without refrigeration is interesting). Our summer adventures took us through Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah (stopped - worked at a resort for a week, then Brad was called out for disaster relief work in WI), Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin (lived in the back of the Troutmobile for three weeks whilst doing housing inspections), Minnesota, South Dakota (and on back to Oregon with a short pit-stop for some fishing & partyin' in Steamboat). Just a couple months later, Brad got called down to Louisiana & Texas for hurricane relief work & off we went again! I guess you could say our 2008 was pretty dang busy. :-) As we look into the future, we hope to travel to many, many more amazing places, such as New Zealand, Europe, South America, Canada, & of course finish conquering all 50 states (Brad only needs AK, ND, & RI). At home, we spend most of our time plotting out new trips and trying to finagle time off & quick money-making schemes to afford said trips. We have all six seasons of Family Guy on disc and watch at least one episode per day, for good morale purposes, of course. The sounds of Bob Marley, Old Crow Medicine Show, Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, John Butler Trio, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Slightly Stoopid, and the like are commonly heard when hanging in our home. Music is very prevalent around here - we have several guitars to tinker with, as well as, shakers, tambourine, recorder, and harmonicas - let's jam! Our ideal day is usually made that much better with a nice, crisp Pabst Blue Ribbon, but willing to compromise if another barley & hop flavored beverage is available. It's hard to believe that there is finally a way to connect with all the awesome people of the world that share our same love: traveling & meeting new people along the way! Cheers! Brad & Heater PHILOSOPHY Everybody wang chung tonight.
