    Who else can’t stand your feet pinned in bed?

    5.56 ammo accuracy, or lack of

    Hot Air Balloons

    Thanks guys, it was a blast being there. I used to crew 20 years ago when I was in high school and sometimes would get a ride out of the deal, and so I used this as a way to give my 10 year old a heck of a good experience. Dave

    Hot Air Balloons

    From the Prosser Balloon Rally this last weekend (24-26 Sept 2010) all my pictures here are from 25 September. I didn't get any from the night glow as I was helping set up and controll a balloon for the 'night glow' where they inflate and stand up the balloons and then fire the burners at...

    Fireworks from the 4th

    Thank you. Boardman is on the Columbia River about 220 miles east of Portland and 30 miles west of Hermiston (easier to find on a map) and 55 miles west of Pendleton. We are out in the middle of the desert and the cows outnumber the people (3300 population here). Dave

    Removed little man

    Well they took the little man's hammer away and gave him an eviction (the stent came out yesterday; a simple here bite on this and it'll be just a second). The stent was over a foot long, I felt like dancing a jig this morning I felt so so good. For those of you with the stones you have my...

    Removed little man

    yea, I had a kidney stone that wasn't playing nice... two trips to the ER to be filled full of saline to try and get it to pass in three weeks time didn't work. Dave

    Removed little man

    Well I developped a nice little man poking me in the kidney with a long ice-pick on the 15th of March and wasn't able to get relief. Fast forward to Thursday afternoon and the doc took the little man's icepick and replaced it with a rubber mallet. Even though it still feels like a boxer...
