July 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I got my real license plates on a while back, but haven’t gotten around to showing them off online. I’m not going to show the actual ones to everyone, but this gives you an idea of what they look like

I just couldn’t miss out on having a Reno Air Racer on my [...]

Turns out I’m a John Wayne Western Bad Ass, but I also scored 100% for Clint Eastwood. I’ll take that result! :thumb:
Head on over and take the quiz yourself [...]

I was checking out my own blog to make sure things were working OK and looked right when I took a good look at this pic:

Yep, that’s one of the random header pics for this blog and I immediately thought about how that was one of the good times and it don’t get much better [...]

Desert Rain 17 July 2008

July 18th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s been really hot and really humid out here in Lost Wages, NV lately - the monsoon season is here. You really notice just how much it cools off when a passing thunderstorm shades everything and drops much needed water. I’ve liked thunderstorms for many years, but didn’t get to see them much [...]

That was me this morning. I came in to work and it was that bad. [...]

Final Preparations

July 5th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ll be leaving for Arizona within the next 90 minutes or so. I’m planning on going down through Laughlin and Bullhead City as I really don’t want to think about traffic over Hoover Dam today combined with the fact that I don’t want to even think about the questions I’d raise if anyone ever [...]

Fireworks!

July 4th, 2008 · No Comments

No, I didn’t go to a major display this year. I went to the local fireworks stand instead
As a native of the People’s Republik of Kalifornia, I never had any of this growing up. Sure, these were the “safe and sane” variety, but they were really fun anyway and I didn’t [...]
