MOAR PICS

^ I like the new ride, but I do have to admit the wheels look a bit small.

LOL! They remind me of Hotwheels cars I had as a little kid. I like 'em!

And now my turn to share my big excitement of the week, albeit just a tad bittersweet:

Goodbye old friend ...

... and Hello, Gorgeous ....

I haz nu ridez.

You...me...CRUISIN!

Next time you're in my neck of the woods, drop on by for a ride.

I thought Dodge stopped making the Magnum?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

You...me...CRUISIN!
Next time you're in my neck of the woods, drop on by for a ride.

They see you rollin', they hatin'...patrolling they try to catch you ridin' dirty.

That literally made me laugh out loud. Almost spit my Coke all over my monitor.

Oh, and since I've gotten a few PMs and emails asking, it's a 2008 328xi (AWD) with barely 22K and fully -- and I mean FULLY -- loaded. I don't think there's one option BMW offers that the original owner didn't put on this thing. I'm gonna have to sit with the owner's manual for a week just to figure it all out. And I'm gonna love every minute of it ....

My Explorer was great to me, but it was time for a change and the poor ol' girl was just gettin' really long in the tooth ... shit was litterally startin' to fall off her. But at 10 years and almost 200k (hard New England winter) miles, I can't complain. And this new one is SOOOOO fun to drive, especially around corners.

Oh, and I got the wagon instead of the sedan to accomodate our 2 labs, of whom I have posted many pictures on here as well.

Thanks for letting me share, and for your kind inquiries all.

I hope that's not your normal expression, because you look like I feel, which is not good.

I have no idea how to take that... or even how to respond. I guess I should go put a paperbag over my head so I don't scare the children.

"DON'T LOOK AT ME!!! I'M HIDEOUS!!!"

You're really not though.

Received this photo from a fellow cadet. It's a PC-7 Pilatus trainer aircraft from the Royal Netherlands Air Force, flying over the Royal Military Academy grounds.
Those pilot guys really try to rub it in don't they...

He's just looking for a smile

*Commence obligatory baseball pictures after Flux goes to a game*

We had awesome seats, courtesy of Future Mrs. Flux's tax refund.

Mark DeRosa held on first by Ryan Howard.

Enjoying the game (until Giants closer Brian Wilson blew the win in the 9th)

Nice pics, Flux. You really did get great seats!

I was having lunch at the ABC commissary the other day and managed to snap a photo myself.

Then I came back to my office and found this picture on my computer from a few months ago. Still a winner, I think.

I am really annoyed that I'm not at a baseball game right now.

Actually, I was concerned for his health. I've been sick the last three days and that exact look greeting me the the mirror yesterday morning.

Nice, very nice! Try not to be too green!

Looks a bit like the TA-6 Texan II.

Nope. Healthy as a horse. I always look that way.

According to Wiki, the Texan II is a variant of the Pilates that was developed by Beachcraft.

I've looked at your photo with my best motherly eye and I can't see anything that would make me think you looked ill. Maybe RandyS is a very healthy looking sick person?

Just from the pictures it looks like the Texan II has an extra canopy bow and thats about it. Both are fine looking aircraft!

Well, I have had the flu for three days now.

So, who shot down the F-16 on the right edge of that pic?
Nice picture, BTW!

I haven't posted anything in a while and I was messing around with the camera today. So here it is... me.

Gorgeous. I mean, seriously.

Yup. As a kid we'd pick the flowers off the vine, bite the tip off and suck out 'the juice'.

"As a kid"??

What, are you too good to do it now?

Randy, you know what? That's a really good question. Why DID i stop doing that? Thank you for reminding me that i need to be more childlike. {{{squishy hug}}}

I'm going outside right now to do some perennial planting and i promise, when i get to the honeysuckles im gonna suck me down some nectar!!!
