Moving....

Packing for a permanent move is a bitch. I think Im gonna just shower, get dressed and go. With the dirtbike of course.

Water....

Comic of the Day....

I just found this guys website. Hilarious!

Odds and Ends....

While I was out mapping I saw this interesting thing....

Whether you believe it or not, thats an inflatable dam. Going ALL the way across the river. A kayakers nightmare.

Big Move....

With the action in the sights, I prepare. First is the Nissan....if you want it say so, otherwise day by day Im taking it apart, listing parts on ebay, and at the end of the month whatevers left goes to the recycler. Stuff like, radiator, engine, tranny, wheels, seats....all of which is in good condition minus the leaky tranny.


Also ready to go is the KZ550, Justins Virago in the background there can go too. I have a pile of stuff that my mom is keeping for god knows what, mainly assorted dining sets from around the world (after she realized a couple years ago that entertaining is too hard). I have some more clothes Ive been keeping from gradeschool and highschool. Some misc whitewater gear. Hopefully in the end I can get back some of what was raped from me by the mechanic in salida...asshat.

Jetty Jacks....

They are ugly. Once put in for erosion control, now being taken out for safety hazard. Im mapping em.


Heres what something like that looks like:

Left Unspoken....

From the Vault....

A long long time ago, Kim and Keith decided to trade pants. That belt is from my 2nd year in college.


Just so you know, Kim is Garretts sister. I have an amazing ass.

Steam Powered....

Since I got back from Tennessee, which was most amazing btw, Ive been piling up the projects and knocking them down before I run out of any kind of motivation and before I move to California, which, again, is another matter completely (six commas, one sentence). Allow me:

Ordered some glass doors for the fireplace, and installed them.


Put a new starter in the Apocalypse.


Wiring that inverter in is always a treat, s'been mounted for over 6 months now.


Regluing the rearview mirror to the windsheild, fell off in Nov.


Testing a new jacket for Outside, havent taken it off yet, slept in it once already.


Installing new shocks all'round, and painted them too. A total bitch in the front, ugh.


Warrantying most of my gear and sending it back.


Pretending I didnt cut off access permissions to ALL my files on the server. Im special like that. If you know how to fix that please do tell.

Lappy Mount....

How to build a car laptop mount in a few easy steps:

1. Find wood in yard.
2. Sand it.


3. Drill strap hole, sand some more.
4. Varnish a couple of times.


5. Wire in inverter for constant battery power.
6. Strap on armrest, use it.


I personally like the wood grained mouse pad, ftw! This thing is way more stout that I thought it would be, by a long shot. And the dog, I like her too.

You might be wondering why I do this? Well Im doing some major river surveying in Abq and will be spending 2 weeks ground truthing some imagery. This way I can map objects of interest real time while driving the access roads.

Quiz....

Can you name these feet?
