Best Town Ever...

There are a number of things right or wrong with this sign... you decide which.

Town Info

I would totally visit this town again.

PIC: Jack and Friends...

I like to try and think what Jack was thinking here. The more I look at this pic, the more there is to it. April 2003.

PIC: Holy City

Taken on our trip to Jerusalem last Sunday.

PIC: Free beads and patches...

I know that the scouts get all the fancy glasses... fine clothes, free beads and patches. But my life is good...really good.

PIC: Huuunnnggggg...

PIC: War Memorial...

On a trip to DC. At the Viet Nam war memorial. 2007.

PIC: Magic Show...

The Magic Show.

PIC: Calico..

I'm still confused about the name of this cat.


Many of these are throwbacks from the screenshots that my wife made while we were copying dads tapes on to DVD. They were used to make the DVD covers.

PIC: Maximum Jefferson..

Cami had a long layover in Kansas City once, and I was able to see her and her fam. It had been too long since I saw any of them, so it was a welcome visit. However I think given the travel time, they would probably have voted to skip the layover.

This is my favorite pic from that night. 3 things we miss are pictured here. Jefferson. The Maxima. Kansas City.

PIC: Melody and Doll..

Melody at Logan. It was rare to see these girls without their Dolls at this age. I bet they still have them. Am I right?

PIC: Coup de Fun

Me and Ray Shelton on a ride at the Coup 'de fun during a birthday party for me. 198?

Picture of the day, or week...

I decided that I have loads of pictures. I should post some sometimes. So here is the first in a series of pictures of the (howeveroftenIwant).


Elise in the trooper, wearing my Tigers hat and sunglasses. I love this photo. Before Drili, there was Eliathew.

New Pedals...

This...

Minus these...

Plus these...

Equals this. I'm such a n00b.

Some of my regular Riding crew. Missing: Dave, Esther, Chris.

No no...but seriously. We have been riding once or twice a week these days. Such a high. Anyone around? Come ride with us. Mostly in Alpine, soon to expand to AF Canyon.

Yeah, go for it...

This goes along with Ambers theme that "everything [I] do is rediculous". I'm the guy lying down.

My work here is done...

Finally. The whole reason we chose to have the boy in the first place.

His first time doing the whole lawn by himself.

$.50 well spent.





Thanks for the mower Todd/Dad. It's great.

Another misplaed call

Previous incident.

Elizabeth this is **** **** calling.

Elizabeth I don't know why you're being so stubborn..um...and why you think that I should be ashamed of myself. You're the one that told the lie, not me.

Now, I am trying to get a payoff and you've been ordered by the court to get that payoff. I keep calling in, there's still a password on your account. They will not give me a payoff.

You are hurting yourself! Because I am not making another payment on that account. You're gonna go thirty days over due, sixty days past due... and it's your own credit you're destroying not mine. Because the judge ordered you to give me a payoff...I have the money to pay it off and you will not allow me to pay it off. So you are hurting just yourself.

I suggest you call in the city and you authorize me to get a payoff, or get one to me. It's up to you because you're just...sinking your own boat.

And I'm...I'm going to the Judge today, I'm going before him...to tell him that you are in contempt. And you'll be lucky if he doesn't pick you up on a warrant and bring you in and ask you why you haven't done what he told you to do. <click>

In the time of the chimpanzee...

...jack was a monkey.  Once again, I'm not sure how this will work since I'm submitting it via email. 

A few shots from Master Jacksons dance thingy at his school.  The one with his arms spread out happened at the climax of "Also sprach Zarathustra".  It was an homage to a scene from 2001 (which I found strange for a 1st grade class), but cute nonethe. 

Area hero saves dog...

Not the best photo, I know.  I took it this morning from my car, stalker style.  I even got a few looks from passers-by, which was awesome.  I'm posting this via email as well, to see how it works.

I was scooting to work the other day and I saw this dog walking on the freeway overpass in American Fork.  I thought "That dude is in the wrong place."  I swung around and caught up to him, and he seemed really glad to see me.  Ran right up to me and huddled close.  After calling the Humane Society and giving them the tag number, I got the owners phone number.  I called, and they came to retrieve their dog.  They were relieved to have found him.  To quote Gordon (the owner):  "We're retired, and he's all we have left."   He described where they lived, so I was able to drive over there this morning and find it (again...stalker style.)  There was my little dog buddy hanging out. 

I've never liked dogs really, but this experience has softened me a bit.  Maybe I won't hate it if Blackson has a dog after all.
