Riff Raff

Just so you know, I did not take this picture from my kitchen back door. I did not. My woman and I look like the Clampetts'

See those flower pots in the back? A bit of a zoom lens. That's where I sight my .177 Benjaman every year. Good thing is...my aim is always true. Bad thing is...I need new flower pots every year.

Anyway, a nice 1200 fps one-pump pellet gun is a good thing to have around. Silent but deadly. Squirrels and Rabbits hate it.

I down shifted from a .22 to a .177 for velocity.

Mind's Eye

The rocks of various sizes are arranged on small white pebbles in five groups, each comprising five, two, three, two, and three rocks. The garden contains 15 rocks arranged on the surface of white pebbles in such a manner that visitors can see only 14 of them at once, from whichever angle the garden is viewed. According to legend, only when someone attains spiritual enlightenment as a result of deep Zen meditation can he see the last invisible stone with his mind's eye.

I Loves Me A Good Night Launch

The shuttle's main engines create a combined maximum thrust of more than 1.2 million pounds.

Also, did you know the Saturn V, at 364 feet, is just one foot shorter than St Paul's Cathedral in London.

Neither did I, but I have seen many blast off...day and night...Damn near knock you off your feet from miles away. I kid you not...when they light that puppy up...you better be holding on to something.

Bwahahahahahah!!!

Rocketdog

This is my puppy Stretch

The Juju Lady told me it was the best money we've ever spent.

Anyway, the Dachshund is the smallest of hounds, but don't let that fool you...they are fearless. They are a German breed, but I like to say...German Engineered.

Stretch will not back down under any circumstances. Fast too, he can run like a 930 Turbo, and cut on a dime. Very impressive. He can dig a hole half his length in under two minutes.

Plus, he hates squirrels and I'm really downtown with that. He trees 'em, and I pop 'em.

My backyard is now known as the Stretchengeti.

One Way To Take A Nap

This guy got a ride in the back seat of an FA-18 Hornet.

Looks like Velociman in Shovel Boy's backyard on a cold and frosty morn.

These things are hot, really, really hot.

I love 'em, but you have to pay to play if you know what I mean.

For me...the Endorphin Rush caused by Capsaicin is worth it.

Things That Go Burn In The Night

I awoke as I do every day...thank the Maker. My Bitch said she smelled something burning. Hell, we both smelled it, but couldn't find the source. I mean, the smell wasn't concentrated in any one room, but it damn sure smelled like my house was on fire. Not a good feeling. I thought, the fire is in the walls...we're fucked.

In my office I found this:

My cable modem...

and left speaker...and a printer...

cable_modem1.jpg

...and I'll tell you...I never lost my broadband connectivity. I was still connected...no problem. Trust me, I tested it...stable.

Now that is some Juju.
