Myrtle Beach/Missouri Trip

by up10ad | Sun Sep 20, 2009 | Home (All), Travel | 0 Comments

Took a trip and visited my sister and some friends. The weather was beautiful all week, spent every day in the ocean, 82 degree water. After leaving Myrtle Beach I headed for MO to visit Joe, Anita and Christine. Although it rained most of the time, it was perfect...

Spring in Colorado

Spring is trying... News on the work front. For the past few years the company I work for, NC Telecom, has been battling cashflow problems stemming from a massive $12MM loan from the feds for rural communications infrastructure improvements. Last year the stock...

Animated Drum Crushing

This is brutal. What you are seeing is a 55 gallon drum being devoured by a crusher. Imagine falling into that! Just a random animated .gif image I ran across.

Pumpkin?

Not a fan of pumpkin ale. Don't like most 'flavors' added to my beer or cigars or pipe. [shrugs]

Fireside at the Veitch’s

We all had a great meal the other night. Appetizers of shrimp and scallops followed by ribs. Sitting by the fire is a tradition that never fails to bring out good conversation and warm feelings.

Summer ’05

Summer in Meeker is a short-lived thing, and this year it was very comfortable. Sandi and I took several trips to see Joe and Anita in Missouri, even spent a lot of time looking at property to purchase. In the end, nothing came of it as there isn't much in the way...

We're starting to visit the Montrose Rod & Gun Club indoor (and outdoor) range more regularly. Sandi is a natural with her Glock and Combat Commander.

This isn't a busy site and there certainly isn't any reason for anyone, including bots, to spam my posts with comments. It still happens. Fortunately the Askimet plugin catches 99% of them and they never even make it to me for review. Some of them do slip in and they...

Crop circles are taking on new shapes here in Olathe, CO. The DeVries cut an amazing maze into their cornfield using GPS mapping, creating a huge picture of a farmer on a tractor. The labyrinth is open from now until Halloween, but for one night only it will be...

As I mentioned, tomorrow I go in for my 2nd surgery. I'm looking forward to it and getting my intestines back to normal. The worst part is having to stay in the hospital bed for 7 days. We are in the middle of our first hay cutting this year, don't know if we will...

Found another old pic…

Probably taken in 1996 after we moved to the house on the Kern River outside of Bakersfield. We had the black H1, the SL500 and Sandi's Miata.

Are Ya Bored With Cycling Posts Yet?

After several days of rain it finally warmed up a bit (48°) so I took a long ride to Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area. Total of about 21 miles. There were some Kite Surfers in the cold waters on the bay side. [video width="1920" height="1080"...
