Harley Nash

I’ve been trying to find the Chris Snyder Injury Video on YouTube and elsewhere and I had a lot of trouble locating it. I know, I know, I should want to watch somebody like Chris Snyder take a hit like that which causes a testicular fracture. Getting whacked like that in ‘the boys’ hurts and we all feel sorry for him. But it’s kind of like watching a car accident, you just can’t help but to look.

After the incident, Chris Snyder, who is the catcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, went on the 15-day disabled list because of the testicular fracture he suffered. He suffered the injury during a Monday night baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Snyder was behind the plate catching when he was struck in the testicles by a foul ball. This happened during the 4th inning. I guess his cup didn’t protect him well enough to prevent the testicular fracture.

I hope Chris Snyder gets better soon. Word is that he won’t need surgery for the fractured testicle. Good luck Chris!

Well here’s the Chris Snyder Injury Video, courtesy of Daily Motion, in all of it’s painful, gut wrenching, glory. If your kids play baseball have them watch this video so that they’ll understand why you have to wear a cup!

Hey, it looks like General Motors is going to sell the Chevy Beat concept car in the US marketplace. With gas selling at $4+ a gallon it makes a small vehicle like this a potential big seller even in the land of the SUV and Crossover. I’d rather have a Harley myself but a little car like the Chevy Beat might be OK.

The Chevy Beat a two door car with a 1.2 liter turbocharged engine. I wonder what the acceleration is like on this little thing? I bet it could actually be pretty snappy if they didn’t weigh it down too much. I’ve seen people put motorcycle engines in these little cars, now that would be fun, wouldn’t it?

As for safety, sure, the Chevy Beat is a compromise. But it’s probably safer than a motorcycle. You just have to take the same mental attitude that you have to watch out for yourself because other drivers aren’t seeing you. It’s something you get used to when driving a motorcycle in traffic.

The reason why people are saying that the Chevy Beat is headed for the US marketplace is that one was sighted on the set of the new Transformers 2 movie. This kind of product placement means that they’ll probably be promoting it to the US market at some point.

What do you think? Would you drive a Chevy Beat or would you rather have a Harley?

I was reading up on the Glacier Bay National Park and the Glacier Bay Lodge today. It seems like it would be an interesting place to visit. From what I understand Glacier Bay has a number of natural wonders as well as a wide variety of wildlife.

Glacier Bay Lodge is about 50 miles west of Juneau, Alaska and is near Bartlett Cove. The lodge is the only accommodations that you’ll find within the Glacier Bay National Park. From what I heard the lodge has a great view of the Fairweather Mountain range. The spruce trees are also quite beautiful.

The Glacier Bay Lodge is also the place where you can take the Glacier Bay Tour. This tour allows you to take in the Glacier Bay area’s wonderful wildlife. Plus, you can enjoy the view of the Margerie and Grand Pacific glaciers during this tour of Glacier Bay.

Since the Glacier Bay Lodge happens to be the only overnight lodging which is inside of the Glacier Bay National Park this means that you will need to eat their great Alaskan cuisine. While you’re there you can also enjoy interpretive displays, do some sea kayaking and/or fishing or even hit the links and do some golfing.

I think it sounds like a great vacation option. What do you think about the Glacier Bay Lodge?

Welcome to my new blog, The Adventures of Harley Nash. In this blog I’ll be talking about what I do, what I like and don’t like, what websites and blogs I like and don’t like, and more stuff. I just want to ramble about things that interest me so sit back, have a cold one and watch out!
