pain at Cain
Yes – while this post will talk about my AST (Avalanche Skills Training) Level 1 Course at Mount Cain last weekend, it is categorized as “bacon”. This will all make sense by the time you finish reading. As will the title…
So, I headed up …
stupid back…
Bear with me for a minute here. I’m going to rant.
Sunday morning as I sat at the kitchen table eating perfectly cooked sunny-side up eggs, something unwound in my back. Like a spring un-sproinging itself, I could feel things slowly go sout…
Bike Magazine, cameras and other miscellaneous items
Well, I managed to make the presses again. Bike has published my haiku and praise of their alliteration. Of course as an avid reader of my blog, you already know what I sent them (if you’re new, just go here to read my original post). …
A.S.D.
A.S.D. An acronym I fully intend all of my dedicated readers, all 16 of you, to become very familiar with.
A.S.D. stands for “Awesome Surplus Disorder”. In this day and age it is a rather rare condition, and revolves around a persons desire…
I like Bacon!
I like this! I mean, who doesn’t like bacon? I’ve even heard that some former vegetarians came back because of bacon!
I have to admit, I didn’t create the image you see below, I kind of “borrowed” it from a bulletin board I post at (too much).&nb…

I’m off to Mount Cain again for the weekend, but before I go and leave you all with nothing to ponder, here is a follow up to my “death” post.
As it is the time of year most people make their New Year’s resolutions, all to often broken, I have a challe…
Binders!
I first started back country or “alpine tour” skiing three seasons ago (2008-09) and have been hooked ever since. BC skiing has some appealing similarities to mountain biking, in that for the most part you earn your turns. I like that. …
Think they’ll run this?
Now that Mountain Bike Action has finally launched the “Joe’s Bike” feature I thought up, do you think I would get another chance to have my bike shown? Well, I’m going to try…
Thanks to Dave at the Hot Shoppe for the picture!
Dear MBA,
thanks so mu…
Oh its nice to get published!
Well, those who follow my site already saw this bit earlier in the year, but now even more people get to hear what I have to say!!! I also now own four copies of the Jan 2011 issue of Mountain Bike Action! I will be writing them a nice lett…
THIS IS THE BIG TIME!!!!
I hinted (well, blatently told those who follow me) on FaceBook that Mountain Bike Action ran a piece I did for them – so here it is (copyright laws be damned).
So, to be up front, I have never actually “drooled” over the “inside the pro…
The “Why”
Welcome to the home of Braxton Consulting (a.k.a. Andrew Gower).
Before we get on with blog posts, philosophical ramblings, and reviews/reports on equipment I am looking at, let’s talk about me and why the hell I am doing this site anyways.
I get things stuck in my head that need to come out. I also do some gear reviews and testing on the side. This page provides me the platform to say what I am thinking, and pass on things I learn about life. Originally focussed on gear reviews and advenetures, the path I have been following has diverged somewhat, so now you will hear about many topics – all shared with passion.
