My Office

Here's my office. So much for that open door policy eh? Just kidding, the doors are usually wide open. I took this picture do try and do something silly. Haven't had time to execute that little plan though. One of these days, one of these days. 

Bugatti Veyron

Man! This is one sweet car! Be sure and follow the link so you can get all the stats, but long story short. Faster than an F1 car! 

Incredible Hulk Worms

Was going through my various photos today and came across this one. It's a picture I took of some worms my brother-in-law and I bought one day to go fishing. This are some kind of hybrid worms and have been injected with green dye so fish are attracted more to them I guess. They reminded me of the Incredible Hulk, and if you can say such a thing they were also very strong! The little barbs on them are pretty significant too, these were like mutant worms, the fish did like them too! 

Wear your seatbelt

This is what's left of the vehicle of a teen in my brother's youth group. Amazingly, he was in the wreck on Wednesday and was back in church on Sunday running the sound board. 

Or, I could just get one of these bad boys!

Just saw this little puppy posted on Engadget's website. I'm sure it's cost would be right up there with a car, but this goes beyond mode of transportation. [Disembodied voice: Mr. Bean, back away from the drool. Rejoin us in reality!] 

A new car would be nice, but it's not going to happen

When I first met my wife she had a 1996 Red Mitsubishi Eclipse. I enjoyed driving the car, it was a manual transmission and I could normally squeeze out 500+ miles to a tank of gas. That would come in really handy now. However, my outlook on life right now and specifically with car purchases precludes me from buying a new car. Whenever I do end up having to buy myself a car, I don't plan on spending more than $3000 for it and to either buy it with cash or pay it off super quickly. 

I'm wanting a motorcycle. I'm eager to have a mode of transportation that's more gas efficient and doesn't require me to arrive at work sweaty (like if I ride my bike to work). So, this little guy would work, too bad I could buy a new car for half the price. 

I've never been surfing, other than bodyboarding and then didn't do it much. But the shear force and power of this amazes me! 

Ah, to be able to get that much joy from soapy water again. 

Isn't this the coolest picture? This is my niece Emily. Maybe you'll see her in Beijing in 2008. Recently saw this quote on her e-mail signature line: "?Happiness is like peeing in your pants?everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth?
 

Ah, yeah! It's almost that time again! Let the season kick-off! 

I think I'll be riding this again real soon! 

Ethan and Aunt Mollie at the Indian's game. 

This was Ethan actually tying me on Tiger Woods 2005 for XBox. Daddy wasn't letting him win either. 

Ahhh, summertime. It's almost over. 

Time for a photo of the cutest girl you've ever seen. 

This was a fun trip to the Indianapolis Indians game. My son was of course enjoying his ice-cream cone! 

This was my brother (in the yellow) and his friend getting ready to start the RAIN 2005 (Ride Across INdiana) trip. For some reason, I agreed to get up at 3:00am and drive them to Terra Haute to start that morning. 

My mother will just love this photo!
