three of a kind...

ok, so yesterday, me and two other buddies from the local Lotus club all got together and had a little photoshoot with our cars... the cool thing is, these are all the same car... they are all red lotus esprit SE's... what you are seeing here is 3 out of a total of 211 that were brought into the us for the year they were made. truly a rare sight...

whole collection!

ok i found teh frankenberry i was looking for! now i have the entire collection!!!my new ULTIMATE favorite cereal is a frankenberry / boo-berry mix.... its so god damn delicious!!!

flies need lovin too

took this picture on the camping trip but its just so damn funny that it needed its own journal entry here.... this was on dustins dash of his jeep. by the way, have i mentioned how much i love the capabilities of this camera?!?!

roughing it!

ok, better late then never, here are the pictures from my camping trip with my girlfriend and friends dustin, and anna, on the weekend of october 6-9... we went to whitewater state park in southern minnesota...this is our first awesome campsite... away from everyone else... we got there late and the next day when we went to check in they told us it was reserved so we had to move into a different site

the second site:

the first day we were there we saw this fire watchtower on top of a really tall hill so we decided to see if it was climbable... these are the stairs leading up to it.... including the stairs in the tower itself there is somewhere over 700 stairs....

the views from the top... that little town is called Elba, MN and has a population of about 200...

the view looking straight down from the top of the tower (looks shorter then it actually is)

looking back up at the tower:

the tower as seen from the ground...

after the tower we spent some time on the ground and came across this nice old military deuce-and-a-half sitting in the weeds:

a campfire i made:

the next day we went hiking in some hills and bluffs.... these are some cool moss covered rocks i found:

this is a farm that from where we were, looked like it was waaaaay on top of a mountain... who the hell would put their farm up there???!!!

the view from one of the best bluffs we climbed:

the bluff from the ground:

throughout the weekend i took lots of photos of the various rivers and streams running around the area.... these were my best ones:

my cars

these are my cars (as if you havent heard about them enough already)... I finally got tehm both out on the street for a "family portrait"... this really shows how small the lotus is...

hummmmmmmmveeee

ok also in north dakota was this humvee.. the only other thing worth taking a picture of... this is the type im gonna get someday.. the low soft top one unlike that high top troop carrier i posted in the airshow post....

big beef

took a trip to north dakota for a cousins wedding this weekend and had to stop at teh worlds largest cow on the way back because my girlfriend had never seen it...

8 seven times

ever wondered what would happen if you dial certain numbers on the phone by just keeping on pressing them? well if you do the number eight, seven times, you reach this place... its a liquor store over in richfield. When me and my friend dustin were really young we would spend our summer days prank calling these guys... may fun conversations were had with them... the best was when we asked for jesus.... or the time they picked up and we shouted as many swear words as loud as we could until they hung up...we are the reason this place got caller ID....

BOO!

Its that time of the year again! the best cereal in the entire world is on store shelves (mainly target and walmart) for a very limited time (halloween season). this stuff tastes like blueberries and has lots of sugary marshmallows in it too! this stuff has existed since 1971 and now only comes around during its season, and when it does, its REALLY damn hard to find.There are two other cereals in the line that are awesome as well. count chocula (available year round... has chocolate cereal bits with marshmallows) and frankenberry, which is even rarer then boo berry (contains cherry/strawberry cereal bits and marshmallows). this stuff is seriously awesome and im stocking up for the non-halloween season, i suggest you do the same.by the way, a crisp $5 dollar bill will go to the first person to find frankeberry on a store shelf for me.
