NoDak and UZIS!

Went to Grand Forks, North Dakota over the weekend for my friend Colin's wedding...

Monticello nuclear power plant. Just because I always wanted to get a picture of this... And maybe a tour some day. It just fascinates me for some reason.


Nice sunset:


The best fruit snacks ever. They have literally every single one of my favorite aircraft:


The best pancakes ever are in the top of this shot. They are the size of dinner plates and thick enough to support a spoon standing straight up wwhen you stab one into it:


Another nice sunset:


(There was a bunch of wedding stuff that took place at this point but I dont like personal business in here so go to facebook if you know me for those photos.)

Met a friend south of Grand Forks who owns some fully automatic machine guns.... This is the Uzi buffet table:


Me with the Mini Uzi and the Micro Uzi:

Wienermobile!

Saw the Wienermobie again! This time out in Chanhassen. It is the same one I spotted early this year...



check out the hot dog dashboard!

exotics

Went to Morries Maserati a few days ago and got some pics of some ultra rare cars....

First up is a 2009 Aston Martin DBS. This is the same model of car that was used in the James Bond movie "Casino Royale". They only want $223,500 for this one! What a steal!




Second we have a 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. This is one of 84 destined for the US and one of TWO for sale right now. Top speed is 181 mph. They want $309,995 for it. Ill take two.




oh, Twins player Joe Mauer stopped by with his Plymouth Prowler while i was there too:

Clouds

the clouds looked really cool yesterday morning on the way home... like the sun was hiding and peering out through a little hole of blue sky... the rays were pretty strong too... so of course i took some pics:

fireworks!

saw the fireworks at the taste of minnesota last night and i must say that was probably one of the top 3 fireworks displays ive ever seen in my life. the finale consisted of nothing but those ones that flash really bright and then boom REALLY loud a second after. i almost had a seizure there was so many. anyways, here are the few pics that actually turned out:

cars and coffee

is that time of the month again... haha, no its tome for the monthly cars and coffee in chanhassen at the auto motorplex... this time a friend from the local lotus club that im in showed up and came in the exact car that i had looked at prior to purchasing mine. glad it went to a good owner!



there was also my second favorite car there, a delorean with only 5000 miles on it:


we left before a nice yellow lamborghini gallardo spyder showed up :(

dock

this is an iphone dock i made using 2 binder clips i found at work. this is how they go together:



this is how it supports it in normal mode:



and this is how it holds it sideways... perfect for the digital clock app:

Mulberries!

so ive been living at this house for a LONG time now and only just this last weekend realized that there are berries growing on the bush beside our garage... i did some research and found out that they are mulberries... they dont have much of a taste but i guess if you picked a whole ton of them and ate them, it would be pretty good. there are a few dark ones that are ripe and ready for picking but the ajority of the bush still has the green ones on it...
