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.

falcons

ok, so at the minneapolis airport, we currently have hangar space for 4 F-16 falcons... there are 6 on the tarmac right now. somethings goin on...

new blade

upgraded my daily cutting tool. the mini uzi, allthough it says "uzi" and is pretty damn cool, is being retired in favor of something that actually has some beef to it. this is a gerber and it is pretty big yet still light...

trees

yep, the trees are starting to change color. i figured id take a well planned out shot using some of the actual functions on my camera like the "foliage" feature in order to capture some bright colors in the greenery around my house. these trees turned out nice. i left the picture really huge so you can see the detail. works quite nice as a computer desktop wallpaper

creepy trail

this is a little trail that me and my friend dustin found... its an offroad trail for jeeps and stuff and this LAKE is at the beginning of it. You have to have a pretty beefed up truck to get through this crap in order to get to the actual trail. We didnt venture too far down the trail because it was midnight and almost pitch black once we got off the main road. when I go back ill take some scenic photos during the day.

albino

finally! theres an albino squirrel that lives in a tree in my backyard! the other guys get jealous cus hes so cool...

italian cars!

Ok here are the photos from Wheels of Italy 2006 which happened at the Lake Calhoun Executive Plaza on the 10th (i know im late posting these, i just hate uploading tons of pictures)It was a rainy and cold day but that didnt stop anyone from coming out and sowing some really nice cars!oh, and unlike last year, i will only be showcasing my favorites, fuck ferrari.
Ford GT: (non italian)

Delorean: (non italian)

Lamborghini Gallardo:

Lamborghini Murcielago:

Lamborghini Countach: (can you tell which one is my favorite!?!? :)

tacobell dog

last night my girfriend became the proud new owner of a little tiny baby chihuahua! Its name is Lily!

the REAL american hero

good news!!! GI JOE is returning to its old style of single blister packs of the original style bad ass action figures! no more of this 8 inch tall, dis-proportionate, japanese anime-style bullshit they have been shoving at us for the past years! (see the thing that says "sigma" on it next to the real ones? thats the stupid crap im talking about) These new ones are EXACTLY how i remember them from back when i used to play with them. with guns that resemble real guns and not space blasters and tiny ass details on every last piece. no more of this 4 point articulation on these monster figures so you cant move them, its back to the 12 points where you can move every last feature for the ultimate badass pose!

if you are a parent of a little boy right now, do yourself a favor and get him these. in BULK. FUCK spongebob and pokemon, bring your kid up right by NOT turning him into a little pussy. if i find out that you bought him the "fireman bob playset" or something equally as queer, ill come over and stomp the piss out of it as i throw GI Joes at your son's head.

burning

saw this on the way home from work yesterday and had to get a couple shots... these garages were burned down completely by the time i left. I dont know what caused it or any other info.

some people....

this is why i get aggrivated at my job sometimes... this sign was there months ago and i go through this EVERY day.

sunRISE

ok first time ive ever been up to see the sun RISE instead of always seeing it set at night... I messed with the contrast in the pic to give a better representation of what i saw this morning because my camera couldnt quite capture it on its own... plus the silhouette of the trees just looks cool as hell....

pantera

jsut a bad ass pantera (italian muscle car) i saw yesterday. this thing is VERY fast.

air show!!

Ok, here are pics from the airshow that me and my GF atended on August 19th. It was at Volk Field in Wisconsin, about a three hour drive from the cities here. It was WELL worth the trip just for the stealth fighter alone. anyways, here are the pics:F18 Hornet:
