So big weekend for me but a MONUMENTAL day for Parker as he learned to ride on 2 wheels, NO TRAINING WHEELS at age 4!
JR had a HUGE part in teaching him how to pedal!

Character goes a long way, that’s what I think has created me to be who I am, character, personality, experiences, travel, life, those good and bad around me, I am who I am because of you, the people and things I surround myself with…
I’m just collecting signs, scars, memories and experiences that accumulate to my life, I have to say the one most important thing in my life is relationships, everybody contributes to each other, either negative or positive, you contribute….
Love it or leave it, or SEND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you all!
Thanks to all my friends and family who came out on the bike ride you KNOW who you are…. Be ready for a couple of awesome videos to come!

The Canyon that is Grand + The Trinity of High Elevation Arizona Wines

By Jarod DeAnda, September 1, 2010

The fam took a little staycation to the Grand Canyon and on the way home swung through and tasted some fine wines…

The fam at the Grand Canyon…

I almost fell in…jk

Parker and I were trying to fill in the “big hole”…

The view is seriously unbelievable, you have to see it to believe it…

Check out the people sitting on the ledge, seriously step away…

Its seriously HUGE!

I was there…

Wild animals…

Dont look down, peep the Native Shoes

Open roads…

So many options, the famous Route 66 in Flagstaff, AZ…

Local beer at Beaver Street Brewery

Cruising nature with PJ

Headed home through Sedona, if you haven’t been, GO!

So wife and I decided to partake in whats called “The Trinity of High Elevation Arizona Wines”
It consists of Page Cellars Cellars owned by Eric Glomski, Caduceus owned by Maynard James Keenan and together they own AZ Stronghold… So we hit all three, follow us…

These fellas Eric & Maynard have a film called BLOOD INTO WINE you have to check out… CLICK THE LINK FOR A MOVIE TRAILER
Who knew wine could be so rebellious, making wine THEIR way on THEIR terms…

Here’s the synopsis of the film…
“Maynard James Keenan is known as the front man for Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. In the mid-1990’s the reclusive rock star left Los Angeles and moved to an Arizona ghost town (population 300). A wine enthusiast, Keenan soon began to envision a world class wine region on the Verde Valley’s craggy slopes. With the guidance of wine mentor Eric Glomski (former David Bruce winemaker and current owner of the award-winning Page Springs Cellars), Keenan began the long road to bringing credibility and notoriety to Caduceus and Arizona Stronghold Vineyards amidst wine industry prejudice and the harsh Arizona terrain.
Take a look inside the life of one of rock music’s most mysterious figures.”

1st stop, Page Springs Cellars…Cornville, AZ

Nice tasting room…

Even nicer ground and vineyard…


Picked up a bottle…

The basis of wine, good grapes…

2nd stop: AZ Stronghold in Cottonwood, AZ…
Main St. in Cottonwood, AZ…

Took part in a flight of wines…

Like the sign…

Nice large art piece defaced by the 2 fellas showing their disdain for the freeway they transport grapes on…

We ended up enjoying and buying a bottle from Burning Tree Cellars called The Lotus, The guy behind Burning Tree Cellars works at AZ Stronghold and they offered him to make his own wine while working so this is his first grape stomp, solid wine!

3rd and Last stop Caduceus Cellars in Jerome, AZ

Really nice build out and design…

PJ and Snake Eyes liked it…

Here’s the 3 bottles that we purchased, at the 3 stops..

And the back of the Caduceus 2007 Nagual De La Naga bottle we purchased…

The Jerome Fire Dept.

Jerome has a lot of history and is a sleepy desert ghost town, very cool…
Interesting stories all over this town…

The view from Jerome, AZ

Caught some burgers at The Haunted Hamburger…

Ended the meal with a margarita in a mason jar…

Growing into each other…

Time to go home… Obligatory AZ sunset to the end the day and this blog…

Horiyoshi III or Horiyoshi The third as he’s known honors the past and lives in the now, you look at his work and how he works and it’s just awe inspiring, at some point in my life I’d like to receive a tattoo from Horiyoshi III… I’ve known about him for years and now the Hypebeasts are up on it… oh well

Here’s a couple images and also a video from Nowness that interviews and captures the words and actions from this legend…
Also for more info on him pick up the book by another legendary tattooer Juan Puente Horiyoshi III

His detail, colors and then the free hand with the machine is just a thing of beauty…
