So, this is what she looks like now. Hopefully, in a few weeks, there will be a shiny new performance exhaust coming out of the near side....

Had a great time, but got totally skunked. I am not sure if the fish were enjoying the 650 CFS that the river was running at. It usually runs at 75-125 CFS.

oh yeah

2009-01-30T19:02:00.001-08:00

Exactly what the classics need!!!
ZOMBIES!!!!!!

I was going to save this for tomorrow, but...

This has to be one of the coolest things ever, at least if you like photography.
Huge Inauguration

This is a 1474 megapixel image of the Inauguration.
Cool as hell.

meh.

2009-01-28T04:55:00.001-08:00

I usually like snow, but today, not so much.

Technology and age.

2009-01-25T10:29:00.000-08:00

As I get older, I keep thinking that I am losing my grasp on the cutting edge of technology. Until I talk to my grandparents, who live in the middle of rural Montana, who both love using their computer and talking to the family using Skype.
wow.....

Umm...you sure your at the right convention?

2009-01-21T15:56:00.000-08:00

Picture taken by the guys at Woot.com.
It looks like something from AVN....

But was really from CES, from a company called
Dream Cheeky

Not good

2009-01-20T06:41:00.000-08:00

Amongst all the hooplah of the inauguration, that does have me really excited, this is a major downer.

It seems that sometime during the night last night, the sprinkler in my bathroom decided to start to leak. and leak, and leak. Until my counter and floor were covered in a beautiful, rust colored water. Yay.

total idiot

2009-01-08T12:14:00.001-08:00

I know, I know. Everyone knows this guy is an idiot.
But this picture is the best.

Worst job in the world.

Or wait.....

even better....

Happy holidays

2008-12-25T11:36:00.003-08:00

Merry Christmas, for those of you that celebrate it, and Happy Holidays to everyone out there.

work

2008-12-16T13:12:00.000-08:00

So, for the last two weeks I have been working on an apartment renovation on the upper east side. Now, I don't mind hard work, and it is good to have some form of income with the economy the way it is, but when you are remodeling a second apartment that a couple has purchased to EXPAND their existing apartment, the money at hand kind of well, floors me. Oh, and after today, I have the next two weeks off, since the couple in question is on vacation.

noise

It is so hard to concentrate when some jackass with a jackhammer is outside your window.

web typos?

2008-11-30T10:00:00.000-08:00

I love when a web typo actually leads to something.
like this.

An innocent look at the savage firearms website......,and looky at what I found!

Intended route-

Very funny. A little long, but funny!

2008-11-11T07:44:00.000-08:00

If you are one of those Mac vs. PC people, this is pretty funny. Well, I think so, and I have no taste.

2008-11-02T09:23:00.000-08:00

2008-10-22T08:11:00.000-07:00

Like Twinkies, off brand cola, bad metal bands, and cheap blue jeans. Not to mention zombies.

2008-10-21T19:21:00.000-07:00

I totally meant to take at least ONE picture a day. I mean, c'mon, how hard can that be? And I already screwed it up.

Oh, wait. That's my fly reel. And I don't mean fly like LL Cool J. I mean fly like fly fishing.

Yes.....Excellent....(finger tenting)
