Mario Kart update

Ok I've been playing non stop for a while. I've got 50 cc beat, all with gold medals. I've got 100 cc beat with only 3 bronze medals. I haven't started the 150 cc yet because I want to get the 100 cc beat with all gold medals.

Tomorrow's the wedding. Should be good. We had the rehearsal tonight. I just hope that everything goes smooth.

Goodnight.

Weeze

I'm in Manteca again.

Here's a video.



Goodnight!

Weird Weather

OK so this weekend it was 95 and hot! Today I went to work in flurries. Snow flurries! Yeah that's what I said.

This weekend I'm going to Manteca for my brother-in-law's wedding. I'm looking forward to it.

I got the MC chris is Dead CD this week. It's pretty good.

I'm enjoying this short blog.

Goodnight!

Deleted!

I've decided to cancel my photo blog. I'm a simple guy and can really only pay attention to one thing at a time. Just ask my wife. So yeah. But hey I took the look from the deleted blog and decide to use it here. Enjoy and let me know what you all think.

Here's something random. I called my friend Caleb (whom I met in HI) tonight cause I haven't talked to him in a while. Well Caleb didn't answer but my friend Noah answered, also from Hawaii. So I got to talk to two friend's that, I didn't think knew each other. Oh and I also got to talk to Teresa, another friend from HI. Kinda like a mini reunion.

So I've beat Mario Kart in the 50cc and the 100cc and I've only had it since friday night. Plus I got my friend Seth's friend code and played him and his wife today. So much fun! If you don't already have the game or a Wii, GET ONE!

Tonight Katrina and I went out to this really good pasta/pizza place here in town. We each got calzones. Oh if you all think about it throw up a prayer for Katrina tomorrow. She's got to go in for a root canal and she's a little anxious. So any prayer would be good.

We thought we had our Jeep sold this weekend but the guy who said he'd buy it never came and got it. We got an e-mail from him late this afternoon, saying that he and his wife went out and decided to get a new jeep. Super bummer. So also throw up another prayer for us to sell the Jeep.

Well that's all I'm off to finish the American Gladiator episode that we have recorded and eat some watermelon. Then it's off to bed, and wake up to start another work week. I'm super stoked that watermelon is back in season.

Goodnight!

P.S. I got a sick t-shirt at Wal-mart yesterday. It's a green lantern shirt with just the logo on the front. Super cool!

Mario Kart and another blog?

Yes another blog! But it's different it's a photo a day blog. So check it out and tell me what you al think. juicesdailysqueeze.blogspot.com

And we got Mario Kart for the Wii!! I know I'm a huge kid but hey it's one of my favorite games ever. Super fun. if anyone wants to play comment me with you wii friend code and I'll add you and give you our friend code.

Goodnight!

The Office; the hanger

My life sometimes feels like the TV show the office. Just weird things happen in my life which doesn't seem real. Oh and official prediction, I think Jim is going to propose to Pam tonight on the season finally of the office.

The cat almost through up on my head today as I was taking a nap. Luckily I was quick enough to get out of the way.

I'm taking a road trip with my boss tomorrow to fix an airplane. Lucky me hunh? Like I said just like the office.

Goodnight!

Happy Mother's Day

For all you Mom's out there. Especially my Mom.



Happy Mothers Day!

Goodnight!

Sketch up

I posted about a month ago about a human powered helicopter. Well here's an update. I've figured out what to build the rotors out of. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but if you have this months issue of 'Popular Science' and e-mail me about what article the idea is on then I'll let you know.

Also I've downloaded a Cad program, Google sketch up. I figured that when it comes to final design and what not I'll need something like that to put it all together. So I'm going to be messing around with that, while I get a few more things nailed down in my mind.

The other thing I've figured out is the tail rotor drive design. I thought of using a chain drive but I've decided to go with a drive shaft instead, like the kind you find in weed eaters. It will be a bit stronger and if I build a flex type shaft it will compensate for any flexing in the airframe.

The last thing I think I got worked out is the steering. It's actually the first thing I figured out. The wright brothers figured out how to control they're plane in the beginning stages of planing. The reasoning behind that was, "if we can fly how are we going to come back down or turn", or what not. I had to put some thinking into it because in a normal helicopter your feet control what direction you face, left or right. Since your feet on my helicopter would be used to produce the power, you'd have to use your hands to control the helicopter. That's all I'm going to give you all right now.

I'm sorry I'm being kind of secretive here, I just want to be the first. If any of you want to know more about it just ask. I'll be happy to tell you about it over the phone or in person. I just don't want stuff published on the web or anything like that yet....

Well just thought I'd share.

Goodnight!

Sonoma and Gangstergrass

Gangstergrass as in music not illegal substances. I found this mash up on another blog I frequent, boingboing.net. Go to gangstagrass.com for a free download and to listen. It's actually really funny, interesting, and unique. Just be forewarned, explicit lyrics. Just so your not listening to it at work or something.

We got a GMC Sonoma last night. We were going to trade our Jeep in but they were only going to give us a grand for it. We told them we couldn't do that. So they gave us the grand anyway. We got to keep the Jeep which they detailed for us, for free. Now the Jeep is sitting on an unofficial lot here in town. It's only been there for two hours and we've already got two phone calls. One guy offered us 3800 dollars. We're asking 4500. So if you know anyone who's in need of a Jeep.

That's all for now.

Later!

Indy-anna

I have really been watching a lot of indy movies. I recently watched Four Eyed Monsters. I posted about the project yesterday. If you haven't checked it out go to foureyedmonster.com and check out the online videos and then check out the movie. I'm wanting to go out to Sundance Film Festival this year. I have my cousin Lisa who lives in the town that it takes place. So, Lisa, CALL ME!

I've also picked up the new Death Cab for Cutie album and I really like the full version of "I Will Posses Your Heart". I like how Jammy it is. Yes, 'Jammy', is a new word. Suck it.

Games I want to get this year.
Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Mario Cart
Ghost Squad

I'm going to sell two of my mountianboards and a paintball gun for an electric drum kit. I've always wanted to play. I used to mess around with Grant's (my little brothers) drum and I want to start again and try and get better. I don't know what I'll do with that or where I'll go but I think it will be fun.

Alright off to bed.

Goodnight!

Wednesday back aches

Last week Thursday I wrenched my back crawling around in the back of an airplane. Friday I worked through the pain, and by Saturday morning it felt a whole heck of a lot better. Sunday it felt the same as Saturday until we got back from snowboarding. Come Monday morning it was on fire! I worked for half a day Monday, coming home at lunch. Tuesday was much better... Until I had to crawl back into the airplane to finish what I started. Joy. Needless to say I woke up this morning with pain shooting up my back. So I spent the first part of the day icing/heating my back, messing around on my computer. After lunch I went in for four hours.

While on my back and a heating pad I found this project. Four Eyed Monsters. It's a really sweet story about a couple's falling in and out of love. For more go to www.foureyedmonsters.com They're podcast is what I watched. I'm in the process of getting they're movie to watch.

Other than that not much has happened today. There's a B-17 bomber that's been giving flights for 100 bucks at the airport. We can't afford that right now but I was content just watching it take off and taxi around. A really awesome sight.

Well I'm off to shower off the four hours of work.

Goodnight!

IRONclad pants needed to go snowboarding with my woMAN!

Ok my weekend in review! Friday night I went out to the movies with Ed and Adam, some friends of mine, to see IRON MAN! Which if you haven't seen it yet GO AND SEE IT! Well worth the money. Iron Man has never really been one of my favorite comic book characters but he definitely moved up my list. Now I just need to pray that they make a Green Lantern movie. Favorite parts of the movie. The use of YF-22 planes. The audi he drove around. Pepper Potts. How the special effects didn't seem like they were special effects. Pepper Potts. And the story line left it open for another movie.

Saturday Katrina and I went up to her parent's property. We helped nail some more siding up. Then we all went out to eat mexican food. Which is where I almost got the best "that's what she said" ever!

Sunday, we went snowboarding. Which was frustrating, fun, pissed me off and Katrina. OK we got into a fight. It was my fault, I'll admit it. We apologized, OK I apologized. After that we drove around Lake Tahoe, it was a really pretty drive. When we got home we went out to Blockbuster and traded some movies in. We watched a British comedy, Death at a Funeral. I liked it a lot, Katrina not so much. It's British humor not all people get it.

Today I went into work with my back all messed up, so I came home at lunch Stretched out my back, iced it, and used my heating pad. Needless to say it's feeling much better. Again Pepper Potts... anyone?

Well that was my weekend.

Goodnight!
