I like it Evan you little rock beast I never realized how much of a hairy Mary you where in your time that's a fair old set of locks your toting.
Aren't bins a pain in the arse when your doing electrical/electronics work mine always seem to steam up at in opportune moments.
I like the twanging the carp pic your mum looks a nice lady,I assume its a local quarry or sand pit where your riding your Quad Ive never tryed quads they look fun. well you cant say you haven't got about a bit in your time Eric. Your boys a handsome little chap although i bet like all kids he has his right little monster moments too have you ever had and thing posted into your video recorder slot? our neighbours boy used to post all their TV remotes through the fence panel to us.

Nah, the cages down at that facility in the picture were air conditioned heavily. It was about 95 F outside when that picture was taken, but it was 65 F inside! you can't really see the laptop in the pic on the top of all that gear, but I was configuring a Cisco 7513. Big chunk of iron there with lots of throughput.

I used to ride quads out in the desert, about 4 hours from where I live now. It out there with nothing much else around, so there is about half a million acres of riding space out there! There are other places closer, but I loved Ocotillo Wells/Anza Borrego for riding. Maybe if my son takes an interest in it, I will do it again. But I would rather he take up flying!

My boy is pretty good natured, but like all kids, has his moments. He is at the age where he is testing his boundaries, so he gives me plenty of challenges. He doesn't play with the remotes, but I have had to dig a fair share of matchbox and hot wheel cars out of the VCR.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. You have a special arrow, heavier than a normal arrow with a barbed tip. You attach the line to your bow. You have to be fairly close to get a good shot because the heavy arrow won't travel far and you get the distortion from the water for the angle. The key is to have a good oarsmen. My step dad was a master at stealth mode when we went in for the kill.

We had a really quiet canoe too. It was an Old Town canoe, that is made of basically plastic and foam. They are silent runners. Now that I think about that, maybe I should have joined the Navy and been a sub hunter.

hehe, not exactly what I meant, but think of the propaganda tool I would become! Either that or I would just be a "tool"!

"US Sailor takes out Oscar Class sub with bow and arrow"
Seaman First Class Van Gilder made history today by capturing a Soviet Oscar class submarine armed with only a Carp Shooting Bow and Arrow while using the newest Navy weapon, a Hunter Canoe manufactured by the company Old Town.

"Using the carbide tipped, depleted uranium arrowhead, I was able to pierce the hull.", said the seaman. "The hardest part was pulling it in" he continued.

Naw, it would probably be classified.

I'm certain it would be.

Just the sort of lame ass excuse the penny-pinchers would need to downgrade the fleet.
Y'know? Replace all ASW vessels with archer armed canoes.

Hey, arm enough rednecks with arrows and beer, and they will be a formidable force. The key is to give them just enough beer for a light buzz, then tell them there is more beer in the submarines!

And if it was a Canadian submarine, they'd be right.
No wait! Don't tell them that!
