I Want One Of These
...but I'll settle for dinner...or a wall mount.
Probably won't happen, but this would be too sweet. I've been told I'm going to the wrong side of Central America...for sailfish fishing on a fly...need to be on the Pacific side...they say...I say fuck 'em...might get lucky...it ain't like chess.

UNIX = STAMINA
Regarding my previous post:
I also have a SCO UNIX box that has been running for 3,347 days, or 9 years and 2 months, without a involuntary reboot. I took it down twice...the first time is when I had to move it to a different city...the second time when we installed a natural gas UPS / Generator. It is like the damn energizer bunny...it just keeps on running...and running. I took it out of production, but it is still running...I use it primarily for backups of a backups...and of course, for puttting any and everything I want out there. Boo Coo Gig...
Damn thing is amazing.
I will say this...I do loves me some Linux, but my SCO box should be bronzed.
I like to keep my stuff up as long as I can.

LINUX = STABLE
I booted one of my Linux servers just for the hell of it. It had been running for 563 days without any problems whatsoever. Red Hat Enterprise...Informix Database.
I'm downtown with that!

A Bird Of Prey...A Dog...And A Sharp Blade
Since we have no talent in the forthcoming Presidential election...I'm voting for Fujiwara (971-1027) no Yukinari
It is said...he could also fight like you wouldn't believe.
He was a calligrapher during mid term of Heian era. He was an expert at what he did, and was considered to be a excellent public official, as well.

Fly Fishing
Many many moons ago when I was making an attempt to grow up...it hasn't happened yet...I fell in love with fly fishing. I even got into tying my own flies, but I admit; I would use corn when it came down to it.
"Unlike other casting methods, fly fishing can be thought of as a method of casting line rather than lure."
I come from a place which is not short of trout infested streams. We would go trout fishing for lunch...take a big cast iron skillet and everything else we needed to cook...fire it up on the bank...clean the fish when they were two seconds out of the water...and cook em'. Too Good!
It has been awhile, and I'm sure I'm a little rusty, but me and my good buddy Riprock are going saltwater fly fishing, soon, somewhere close to latitude 18.00 N and longitude of 88.00 W. Do you think we're gonna have a good time?
I was visited by the supreme being once, and it told me the only thing acceptable to lie about...was fishing....how big and how many...that is. I want a Sailfish...I want a Bonefish...I want a Tarpon...I want dinner.
I've caught one Bonefish, with a fly, in my life...in the Keys...and that was most exhilarating...like going to a quarter mile drag race...you gotta open the gate and let it run.
Maybe...

The first round is on me brother man.

Gas Money
When was the last time you stopped for gas and did not fill it up?
This morning, I saw some kids pooling their money so they could put 5 bucks in the tank.
Nothing wrong with that...I've been there. Hell, when I was their age I can remember putting 1 or 2 dollars in...even 50 or 75 cents. I can also remember, on several occasions, stealing a can of someone's "lawn mower" gas to get by, but I always left the can in their front or back yard. We would usually park on another street, and slink in from the rear.
I can tell you this...a can of gas is heavy when your running with it.

Another Adventure With Friends
My parents once told me, "if you don't have any friends you don't have anything"
Her Planning Gene is an understatement. I do not travel with people who do not have their "shit together" period
Last time around around was too much fun...this time around will be the same, I'm certain. One problem though...if you fall off the bar stool, you could drown. It could be worse...
We're gonna have a good time.
Do you believe we got together over the Internet, and have since cultivated relationships stable enough to do passport trips.
Advice for all going...Pack Light, and don't forget your camera. You don't need much. I, for example, will awake the morning of my flight...throw some stuff in a bag, and be done with it.

I Love A Low Shot And Another Notch
You see that squirrel on the left side of the tree? It didn't make it long. Stretch froze it, and a .177 did the rest.
We are the team...we work together. He knows loves it when I have a clean shot.

I've spent boo coo time on one of these., but not in Texas.
Sewer Rat, Foredeck Monkey, Trimmer, Driver...whatever.
Too much fun...and way too much fun with the chute up.
Damn thing will almost plane to weather.
Never got off it without bleeding. Been on 'em when it was blowing 45 steady, and gusting way more than that. Been damn scared worried a few times.

Late One or Two Nights
Stayed up fucked up after midnight the first night...arrived home after midnight the second night. Hanging with a Special Operations get down bad ass motherfucker who has spent the last 13 months on the Afghanistan / Pakistan border looking for the bad guys. You do not want to fuck with him...trust me...he is truly some bad bad juju.
I'm glad he is my friend. Anyway, we did a day of this...very cool interesting.
This is for him...he doesn't get his game on until After Midnight, and he is shaking a whole lot more than a tambourine...

I love a woman that has been around in the right way.

Tequila
Listen to the disclaimer at the end of this commercial
I can personally vouch for the fact that doing shots of tequila can make you crazy. You might get lucky...you might not.

Shrove Tuesday
...The word shrove is a past tense of the English verb "shrive," which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by confessing and doing penance...
Today is National Pancake Day...guess what I'm doing?

Beware of Stretch.

Seat Belt Laws
Many many moons ago, my face hit the steering wheel a split second after I hit a tree head on. That hurt. I've worn a seat belt ever since. Seat belts are a good thing.
So, why is it 50 million children can ride a school bus twice a day not strapped in?
That's crazy...I'm just saying.
I realize that some states (Texas for example) have legislation in the pipeline that will require a school bus purchased after such and such a date in the future to have 3 point safety belts. WTF...as always, it's all about the money.
One word: Retrofit
