Water Powered Car

on the tech blog I read it says the "First" water powered car... but
that isnt true. if you think if the steam engine runabouts at the
turn of the century...

But this one actually goes freeway speeds:

Most amazing dialogue in a Screenplay

Margot: Dudley, where is he?
Dudley: Who?
Just watch it again

Aside from the entire film being pure genius, be aware that Danny Glover's performance is probably one of the finest that has never gotten mentioned.

The FinChasers Contingent


The guys who call us about a driftboat trailer, boat, etc. are all
about having the coolest stuff- they just don't have the money right
now. the thing is, 5 years from the time they originally see that
the boat of their dreams is available through our company and they
finally get the money together, i mention the first time they
contacted us, and they are genuinely impressed that I recognize their
name.

2002 SV650 - Professionally Upgraded, Black and Flawless


The joy of starting a new business is not the sacrifices one has to make in the beginning. ... can't I get rid of the Caravan? I know that years from now, when the business can afford to buy me a new bike, that I will just be kicking myself for getting rid of this one.


What a stance- Nice tires, eh?

How we see our children years from now


I could see Avery as the Corporate type- but fun, and Regan as a 10 yr bachelor degree student. - Eliot

Biggest Trout in Met?


Who knows where it ranks, who really cares? What an amazing rainbow. The saddest part is that we didn't realize she was dropping eggs until she was lifted quickly out of the water for the one picture of a lifetime. Shoot. Everyone of those eggs is a small chance that she could pass on her stellar genetics. They've got to be in the redd to do any good though. She took the fly about 4 inches below the surface. She shot through 7 ft over overcurrents to get that little Golden buttery bite of Rib Eye.
I am sitting in front of a fire tonight. The firepit on my deck. If I can't be on a riverbank tonight it sure does feel good to at least stare into a flame for a bit in silence. Those are the best parts of a fishing trip. Sure a picture like this could bring back memories, but even if ther wasn't the fish of a lifetime caught, there is usually a conversation with a friend that is lifechanging everytime.
I have the house to myself save for my two sleeping beauty pre-schoolers. They are so cool. But I should have planned ahead and invited Scott over or something. I hardly ever plan ahead for hanging with a dude for no real reason other than to chew the breezy fat. And it's not like I can call a 30-something hotshot in the pearl district away from Saturday Night Fever in PDX.

It's Been a Good Night...


...to gather my thoughts and whatnot. The bike tank that I could be welding on is at the shop with the bike so they can get a feel for where the extra-low race bars are going to hit the tank and be able to put a stopper in my front fork.
-but what is important is an obligation to a friend:
Magnuson- remind me to get you some Fischerspooner and Reverend Horton Heat.

Band Art dot com

I am sure that domain is taken. But I think there is a market for nicely framing the art of rock. I'll have my wife take pics in concert as well as going into their lives and studios, et al. From these pics I will capture a poignant verse of song and put the quote into the picture in an unobtrusive way. Offer the poster-sized pieces in natural and then also have a "shopped" version or two
with wacky colors, or manipulate the picture in a myriad of ways- whatever goes with the quote,
whatever seems right to me. My site could just be links to buy the merch through the band's homepage. But maybe to maintain more control the band's home page would be a link
to my site and back to their cart or something. Who knows?- not me.

Amendment:
wallrock dot com is for sale.
But I should come up with more names for the printing industry before I settle on one.
